Received yesterday a pair of pretty blue w accent strip and carbon fiber look back Audio Solutions Figaro L2's.

I have them in the "burn in room" (aka the office) for 2 weeks of music playing through them before moving to the main system/room for any listening.

I didn’t know there was an MF NuVista M3 brother on this thread, good to see!


It doesn't belong to me but to an acquaintance.
Only borrowed for a special occasion many years ago.
Also had the CD at the time.
Really like the look... like a light version of steampunk design perhaps ?
The speakers, however, are mine... B&W 805 Signature with Tigers Eye design.

Tube glow is always cozy :)






I had the Viva Solistino on loan for evaluation for a couple of weeks and it played really nicely.
However, there was never a deal.




I decided to keep my old Absolare at that time.
Two beautiful examples of tube gear.

... I'd be very curious to learn your impressions of the Viva versus the Absolare.

Hi Ron,
it would have been fun but I'll probably have to disappoint you.
I had these two at home 4 years ago, so my memory has probably faded considering how they differed in sound character.

But since it's a photo thread, I can at least show a few more pictures of another thing that have come and gone in my set up.
