Greetings to you Pat! How are you doing taming the anomalies of your sound room?As for teaching, ugh! Here in the states, sadly, we’re pressured to focus on teaching rather than learning. On quantity of measurements (tests) rather than expanding t...

Dracule 1, two MA9S1's drive my Sason's. The bass and pinpoint 3D staging is excellent, much better than with my Edge NL10. For me though, I'm mostly moved by a truthful midrange- accurate timbres & subtle overtones. I'm content with the music...

I've had my Sason's for about two years. They were the first pair built with outside xover etc. I'm totally enjoying them. In my opinion they outperform my original wood Avalon Monitors and SF Guarneri Homage. Image superbly. fwiw, they sound phen...

Best integrated for SF Guarneri Homage?
I believe Microstrip was suggesting the Yter cables (with a "Y"), not the Iter cables (with an "I"). I guess if ya' said both of those names aloud they would sound similar, however the heck you're 'sposed to pronounce them... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
Frankpiet, In the late 90's, early 00's(?), Avalon made a solid wood, 2-way, bi-ampable monitor. Good looking & good sounding. It was simpy called "The Avalon Monitor" I have used them for years & am amazed at their soundstaging, & enj...
