The Goebel Divin Series dealer showroom in HK has system changes too.Update system View attachment 68523
Congrats Elliot, for this great review. read it last night.
sounds like a winner, not surprised hearing the big one at RMAF.
It is an incredible speaker and will work in a wide variety of rooms and with a wide selection of quality gear. I personally love this speaker it works so well in my soundroom. Can't wait to show it off at the shows when they start again. I believe people will be amazed!Congrats Elliot, for this great review. read it last night.

LOL the Divin Brothers!!I have listened to all three Divin Brothers in HK.
All three are in the top league, but I like the Noblesse most.
I will open a thread and share with all of you my Noblesse audition experience very soon.
I think this would be my choice as well. Having that broad range seamless driver without crossover in the critical region is an advantage, as i have learned with my big ribbons.Listen Noblesse in Gobel room and is fantastic speaker but if I had money I would buy Aeon Reference because I love that flat driver working from 160 to 31.000 hz very transparent,homogeneous,natural dynamic and fast
Have you heard both lines?I think this would be my choice as well. Having that broad range seamless driver without crossover in the critical region is an advantage, as i have learned with my big ribbons.
I was brought up with TAS and my mentors were HP, John Dahlquist, Arnie Nudel, Bill Z Johnson .Hi Elliot,
Congrats on the Stereophle review! Nice to get well-deserved publicity. A question for you: I believe you are proponent of the (platonic) Absolute Sound philosophy that judges gear based on how "real" live, acoustic music sounds. Since both of the Göbel products are truly excellent, how would you go about recommending one or the other to someone who is also a proponent of that philosophy?
Thank you Mike. They are special and do require a serious commitment to bring them to the max. I have a client who has bi amped them with a full CH Precision set up including pre and phono all with X-1 supplies and a full Gobel Lacorde cable set up including PC and a great room. It doesn't get much better however as you said it is a very serious commitment.my perspective on the two families of Gobel is that the Aeon Reference direction is the more ultimate unique approach. it takes ultra detail and carries that to a very advanced level, and requires a significant amplification and room commitment with it to be fully realized. since i've not had it side by side with other ultimate speakers it's hard to say that it goes farther, but it might.
maybe the big Tidal's are like this? obviously the M9 Magico likely too.
the Nobel family is a more conventional type musical balance and would fit in a wide variety of electronics and rooms.
the Aeon is the one that turns me on the most as it's ceiling is unknown. would have to live with it to say more. my time with it was special.
Purely based on whimsical theory, I have not heard them. The Divin series look much more formidable (just on looks alone).Have you heard both lines?
I did.
On paper, I admit that I would also prefer the cutting board speakers, but in real life, I vastly prefer the Divin series!
