The Majestic 745s have been ordered for a couple months and MIGHT be here by the end of April.. I've been evaluating amps using my Vandersteen 7.2s:
--Pass X260.8s--fabulous sound but too much heat, and these are the class-A/B versions!
--Ayre MR-Xs--sublime-sounding on my 7.2s and...
I've heard a pair last week, and those characteristics were just fine for me.. That system was the best-sounding I've EVER heard, and I intend to buy a pair of Majestic 745s.
WAY-too-many rules in your definitions.
I LOVE music and attend maybe-thirty live musical events per year.. I also have an expensive, hi-end music-reproduction system; it's for playing music, NOT for dazzling fellow audiofools.
There's a dealer, Blue Skies Audio, in San Diego; I'll be driving over Saturday the 23rd to hear his.. The $35K Majestic 745s appear to be right for my room.. I'm REALLY looking forward to this.

I've had electrostatic ('EL') speakers...Quad 57s, 57s paired, 2905s, AudioStatic somethings...and other open-baffle panel speakers over the decades, and I'm again fantasizing about buying speakers that create a larger soundstage for...

Hi Ralph!
My pair of Simaudio/Moon 400Ms have been in the musicroom gathering dust, so after one of my first-line poweramps decided not to turn on, I reinstalled the Moon 400Ms and set a 100Hz hi-pass filter in the preamp*. The system, overall, still sounded excellent, and then (back into my...
Just ran into this thread.. I bought, this summer, Ken/Alpinist's V'steen 7.2s and M7s; apparently he is moving west and will have less room, and I was willing to fly 2500 miles to Newark, rent an SUV, retrieve the 7.2s and 'M7s, and drive them home.. Richard V. told me that to his knowledge...
Bartolo, do be aware that the original thread in the top of the Gaia-I is M12-1.25, and that, of course, is the thread on the bottom half of all the stud-adapters. I'm currently adaping Gaia-Is to my Vandersteen Seven Mk.IIs which have 9/16-18 spikes, so I'm having to drill and tap that...
