| Tweeter placement Depends on how the speaker is designed. | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Ah so Phil you are the Cygnus owner... Hahaha!!Congrats man! | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? Like I said, Sasha 1. Not sure why you ignored my earlier comment. I like musical fidelity and I think they make good gear. | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? Never been impressed too much by Sophia. I think they are a step down in resolution and coherence compared to comparable generation WP. I would replace with a Sasha 1 if possible. | |

| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Audio research upstreams. | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Heard the Vandy 5C during his tour, it was pretty good, but it was not the end all for me at that price point. I can see why some people might like them but for me, at least, it was good but not at the top of my list. | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Don't agree with CTsooner regarding the Vandy 5CA. Heard them, didn't do much for me, even had Richard Vandersteen there. Sounded good, but still didn't sound real to me. Heard the Aviors that Phil was talking about - my dealer told me about some ... | |

| SF Elipsa vs Elipsa se Thanks Pkelly!Myself, I am looking at the Strads. | |
| Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant? There's also this X01 that I'm seeing float around too.... so many choices. I'm sure they're all good. I think the one thing I like about the K1 is that there is a USB input... and the p3/d3 does not. | |
| SF Elipsa vs Elipsa se I would also like to know. | |
| Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant? Yes exactly... Say p3/D3 vs the newer k1? | |
| Cary Audio CAD 211 FE Amplifier vs mcintohs mc-601 I have the 211 FE, and the local audio store has the 601. I can tell you that it is going to be near impossible for me to get my 211 FE to that store because of the sheer weight and size of the 211 FEs. I would also like to know what the differenc... |
