    Tara Labs Grandmaster - I would like to try them for possible purchase

    I live in Norway where we have no local Tara Labs distribution, so I am looking for a distributor or dealer or even the manufacturer themselves to help me. I would like to try out the new Grandmaster cables in my system for possible purchase.

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    Nope, Microstrip. Please read what I wrote more carefully. I have not even mentioned any speakers without any chacter of its own. I have metioned speakers with as little character of their own as possible. That is quite a difference.

    I didn't write that any speaker was close to no sound of its own, Microstrip.

    The speaker and the room is always the biggest compromise in terms of sound quality when you are assembling a system and choosing components. Because of that you should always start with speakers when choosing the components for your system. There are two distinct schools in terms of how to...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    No, I don't crave LAMMs or Atma-Spheres. I am craving the combination of the Q7 with LAMMs or Atma-Spheres. I also crave the transparency of the Q7. So, no I don't have the wrong speakers. I do however agree with you in regards to the Dynaudio Arbiters in combination with the Q7. It is always...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    The bi-amp configuration on my Q7 is one amplifier to drive the bass and another amp to drive the midbass, midrange and treble. Since the impedance of the speaker will vary with frequency, there will be a frequency range with the most demanding impedance for the amplifier(s) driving the Q7. The...

    Instead of the 501 I would consider the Souluiton 701 which is based on the same SMPS technology. In regards to Devialet, I would never in my wildest dreams ever bring any of their products into my home. They don't sound good at all IMHO.

    The 501 uses a SMPS like the 701. In fact the 501 were the model for the 701s design. So the 501 is very different from the 700.

    Yes, they run a lot of feedback but according to their advertising the speed of their amplifir circuit makes their amplifier immune to phase distortion normally associated with feedback in other amplifiers. I used to be a Soulution distributor, so I have had a pretty in-depth training by Cyrill...

    Will future Magico models have fuller bass?

    I think your opinion on this matter is very well known by almost everyone on this forum, Caesar. I am not sure your opinion represents the majority opinion though. Actually I think most like the Magico Q-Series sound very much. Also having read quite a bit about what ideals Alon Wolf and Yair...

    Will future Magico models have fuller bass?

    The big question for me is if we will see a Q9.

    I am sorry, Mike. The link I provided is of course wrong. Track number 7 is taken from this CD - I think. http://www.amazon.de/Max-Reger-Orgelwerke-gespielt-Lindenkirche/dp/B000025ZY4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416853511&sr=8-1&keywords=Lindenkirche+%28Berlin%29

    It is a good question, but it is not so much about voicing the speakers as it is about voicing an entire system. It is really important to voice the amplifier / loudspeaker combination to suite your taste even if the speakers sounds very mjch the way you like them because the amplifiers will add...
