I can comment on the Symphony 13s . See my avatar photo! This speaker is all anyone could need. I have Alsyvox,Bayzs, YG, and more. They are sympatico with my Jadis, CH, Msb amps and are amazingly musical. It becomes complete with the Kan Lab sound super tweeter and JL audio subs. Gotta go...
hORN Symphony speakers are among the best I've heard. I rotate these with my YG, alsyvox, Bayz . But these Polish Horns are every bit thier equal. fwiw I too would consider the Stenheim Reference 2!
Gentleman, For your viewing pleasure .
the super tweeters are the Kan sound lab from Japan - makes EVERY speaker more holographic and dimensional

Currently using an Allnic tube phono stage with Lyra Etna SL and MSL SUT To the mm section- directly to the MSB reference analog input to MSB M 202 and then Alsyvox Botticelli. Absolutely transparent , musical and holographic. Vince Galbo once said to me “wait till you hear your turntable...
Well this thread has prompted some experimentation on my part. I am driving my hORNS Symphony 13 with a full blown CH precision chain L1,P1,C1.2, X1 , M1.2 - SUBLIME. all the virtues of horn dynamics, tone, transparency, dynamics, emotion, tone, etc. Who knew? Enjoy! The M1.2 is set at zero...
I guess in theory...
I can't hear any difference with or without. I think those Swiss engineers are pretty smart and have made sure it doesn't affect performance.
CH gear can be turned on manually via front switch, or more elegantly using the CH App. on your android device. All Ch gear can be hardwired via CAT 5 to a router and allows complete control. For the amp it can alter stereo/mono/bridge, display, temperature, variable globalfeedback.
It's the...
Triangle zays owner since 1999. Keepers as they are fast and musical with 10-60 watts tube amplification. I have 4 systems and could live with these forever - that good
Bob,
what is the retail for the new Alsyvox Raffeallo? Where does it slot in the lineup?
BTW having heard the Botticelli with the Jadis 845 at 30 watts it was a Mount Everest experience !
Another YG owner here…my Hailey powered with MSB M 204 and MSB Reference is a combination that leaves me not wanting. Having said that, I am completely blown away by the sound im getting with a full CH Precision chain. These fantastic speakers are a precise laboratory grade instrument that are...
I concur that CD playback on the Jays mk3 upsampled sounded better than the same material streamed both through a MSB Reference DAC. Caveat, I’m using a 5k stealth digital AES/EBU CABLE …LOL
Interesting that Stereophile ranked the Chord DAVE higher than the Jadis JS1. I own both and in fact use the Chord Blu as an upscaler, giving the DAVE a performance boost. In my system and with my ears, the Jadis communicates more emotion and more of the musical message. Maybe it system...
