We always, in order, consider: Room - Loudspeaker - Amplifier. Loudspeaker for the Room and Amplifier for the Loudspeaker.
Is it the amps, the speakers...or the amps-speakers synergy?

This is turning out to be a really interesting, thought provoking thread.
My finding Zu was such a serendipitous moment, they sold themselves to me in 5 minutes in 2008, and 7 years later I've never regretted my decision for a moment.
A big plus point has been the ability, nay insistence, for the Zus to make me go SETs, and the combination w/a whole series of system of tweaks is to die for.
And now, w/my second set of Zus and second set of SETs, I'm at a sort of epiphany moment, where I really want for nothing (not saying impvts can't further be wrought)
And so my paradigm has been to stick w/high efficiency/SETs, since this seems to be the "flavour" or "personality" I like.
Hence my choices being - stay as is/go Zu Experiences (soon to be released $30k flagships)/go horns eg AG Duos, Trios or Sadurnis/all sticking w/my Nats SETs as is.
But Audio Land's paradigm really chimes w/me too. Assess the room you're in and what spkrs it will support and won't support. Pick the best one within budget. Find the amps that suit that spkr the best.
No middle way between these two paradigms.

Nothing is perfectly designed at consumer-level products.
It's worthwhile in everything.
You should check the components Purite sells. They all measure the best sitting on the floor
Well if you say so then it must be true, regardless of the collective experience of many others including some highly educated engineers. I would kindly suggest making such observational opinions in a manner that declares them to be "in your experience" rather than as being statements of absolute fact.
Agree with the statement, clean power is the foundation of feeding electronics. The cleanest we have found is using a dedicate own power to power the room: Generator Set. It is to much hassle but you won't be living without it after installing and hearing the different.
Wish you all the best in finding the right one for your room. If your room can accommodate AG duo, trio and Sadurni, we are just speculating here since we have not compared them in our room, Sadurni will be likely a better choice.
Happy hunting!!

What kind of generator you found that was acceptable for your purpose? Many of them will introduce mechanical noise into the lines.

Very nice Johan! You really can't depend on commercial electricity these days, specially where you're located.

I would second that wholeheartedly! The Devialets make the Giyas sing. The bass response of the Giyas is otherworldly!!
Btw, which devialet amps are you using? i have heard the 400 monos and they sounded absolutely amazing....
Cheers

I think this is a false dichotomy. I think one selects the speakers one wants (going for "the best sounding speakers") and then one selects an amplifier which, to one's ears, is synergistic with the speakers ("amplifiers/speakers synergy/pairing as a whole") and which, together with the speakers, creates the sound one wants.
Not really Ron, its not just about the sound there can be electronic compatibility issues too. As to which approach, its a personal choice, you can't call it false dichotomy. Speaking for my self, I'm sold on Lamm SETs since 1998 and that's it for me and all speaker purchases since have been carefully selected with them in mind. In fact we dropped all other lines in 2000 only carry Lamm products since, so in my case electronics come first.

Heard Sadurni at the show only. As with Trio, our customer has Trio with bass horn. We are familiar with electronics for the Trio since we have supplied some amps and cables for him. Again, we have not compared them side by side.
I have the D premier.. would consider another for a 500 system , Im not going to upgrade the d prem to a 250 as its eu 4000 and i wont gain much...
I use a pure sine wave 5kva inverter along with a 6 x 200ah deep cycle battery system to power my room , totally silent , pristine power ...cost circa $1700.. its always in line , ie I always have clean power ... the system resides in my garage
