S3 MK3 (2023) Arrived
Interesting that they are not using the new S3 footers. Did they mention why? Wonder if that affects the LFs- owen lawlor

Grimm Audio MU2 "Major Dac"
Vangelis, thanks for the information there. I upgraded from eero to orbi. Expensive but way more detailed than the eero. This feeds the SR switch which I don't need but it makes everything so much more musical... Will look into that Shakti. Keep us posted on the findings of shelving and footers... -
Grimm Audio MU2 "Major Dac"
Break-in is a really crazy roller coaster ride with this and requires patience but this unit categorically is a chameleon in that it transforms with incredible fidelity to whatever PC, IC, and vibration control it is paired with and the upside is quite astonishing if you take the effort and time... -
My CH Precision/Magico System
Ian, kudos on this amazing system. Cannot believe I hadn't seen this earlier since I've been researching Ch Precision. Have you tested the M1.1 in stereo vs mono? Wondering if I can get away with a single stereo M1.1 and what the differences are.. Thanks!- owen lawlor

CH M1.1 or A1.5 x 2
Sorry, S1's just don't do bass so the amp is not your issue. The recommendation above to get S3MkIIs is excellent if you like your low end. Be careful of pairing the Diablo 300 with Magico S class however as the tweeters are more extended and the Diablo can be bright with those tweeters. The...- owen lawlor

S3 MK3 (2023) Arrived
This one's easy. S3 2023>M3>M2>S3Mk2>A5>A3>A1. Jonathan Valin of TAS just reviewed it and says it's better than any Magico he's had and he's had the above M's both I believe. The new S3 is special indeed and probably the best speaker under $100k. The new model is a totally different animal so...- owen lawlor

Luxman new M-10X power amplifier
I had tried my Shunyata Sigma NR V2 and didn't like it so I picked up 2 of these for the twins: https://shunyata.com/products/power-cables/venom-x-series-power-cables/venom-x-ef/ Not sure I will keep them there but for now letting them settle a bit. The bad - they leaned out the bass and shrunk...- owen lawlor

S3 MK3 (2023) Arrived
New S3 was said by very respectable dealer Mke B from Suncoast to fall between the M2 and M3 sonically... I think that he is correct and it has all the good attributes but also has a bit more forgiveness of bad recordings ;^)- owen lawlor

S3 MK3 (2023) Arrived
Interesting setup. Very close together but it sounds like this works for you which is terrific. The toe in comment is interesting for sure, wondering why this would be different from previous models. Where do you aim the tweeter? I've always tried to follow the isocoles triangle with convergence...- owen lawlor

Luxman new M-10X power amplifier
Very nice layering, huge depth, another octave of bass, imaging solidity, shimmering in air quality and of course extra dynamics.- owen lawlor

S3 MK3 (2023) Arrived
Congrats, man. That's beautiful! Can you tell us about your S3 positioning and setup? The distance they are apart from each other and distance from the back wall? It sounds like you figured out placement for sure. Also how do you like the feet? They are flat and not spikes and I wonder how...- owen lawlor
