We got a great chance to hear a full 10 series mono set up , with P-1. L10 and Wadax with Server and Dac and top of the line Basis table. We got to hear with both our speakers and subs and with the previous system before we tore it down and set up ours.
I am a huge CH fan and I think they make some incredible gear, super well made, super flexible and built like a tank. Oh yeah only one pair of speakers were in the room at a time :)

Dang! I'd really love to hear that, too! How did it compare to your home base, Elliot?

Maybe RH will compare the XVX to the Goebel using the same electronics (CH 10 series). That would be very interesting to hear his take on how the XVX and Goebel compare to each other.

Well this was the first time I got to hear the Divin Noblesse with vittical bi-amping and also with the new subs. So this was quite a change from my own room. I have said that I feel my sound room is just a little too small for the big guys and although they sound very goo d here it takes a lot to make them sing and I do prefer whtm in a larger space. I liked what they were capable of doing at RMAF and at PAF even though those were less than perfect situations you could get the sense of what they might be able to do. In this room they really came alive as this is an excellent room driven by some of the finest componenets available along with the Wadax system and the Basis Trancendance TT with is a real piece of work. I am blown away by that puppy its so cool.
I wish that we had some more time to really spend ot make it perfect and to listen some more but that was not a reality for any of us. I was really happy with the result and I think this really showed me how much I could get. I suspect we will be able to really take this to the max in Oliver's two large new rooms at the new factory that will be open in 2023 and probably full blown by the Munich show. It could be seriously amazing.

Major difference:
More space and larger deeper sound stage. Incredible low level and macro dynamics and one gets really drawn into the music. The Divin can really show you the all of the music and do it in a way that makes you want to keep listening. I never get fatigue with Oliver's speakers and that I love.

I heard P10 will be in this year Munich show.
Yes, P10 is their next 10 Series product.
Hope that it will be debuted in the Munich Show 2023.

He never compares anything anymore

I suspect it’s quite difficult for a reviewer to compare large speaker systems directly to each other. It’s also not good for business.

On the other hand, Tim and I directly compared three large speaker systems directly to each other in the same room and same system when we were out in Utah. It was relatively easy and very informative.

I agree, Lloyd — it’s very interesting.

On the crystalline purity point: I actually would solve for crystalline purity with OTL tubes — Atmasphere OTL or Einstein OTL.

PS1 I have never heard Tenor OTLs, unfortunately.

PS2: When I told Ralph Karsten that as much as I love the crystalline purity of OTLs I cannot cotton to the touch of leanness or less warmth I hear compared to other tube amplifiers. Ralph replied that I simply am addicted to the “warm, fuzzy sound of transformer-coupled output stages.” He’s very likely correct!
I dont find Atma-Sphere OTL Lean on 16 ohms Horn Speakers, however on 8 and 4 ohms they did sound leaner. Iv come to understand this is prob due to how the amp is driving the speaker. ??

I would love to see if someone can compare the New TriodeFet Amps coming out of Aries Cerat vs the CH Stuff.

Single Ended Single Stage is something to explore from AC.
