Paul McGowan talks about judging the correct volume level by paying attention to scale. If a vocalist sounds out of scale with the size of a real person, or if for instance a violin sounds like it’s the size of a piano, then your volume is too high!
Clearly this has proved controversial for some. Hey that’s rock and roll. I’m pretty confident in my assertion that every room has a RRV and that once thats set all types of music everytime sounds spot on. My small listening room (versus many in here) SHOULD suffer from compression at hiish volume. It doesn’t. Zero compression zero distortion to my keen ears.

Make it a 4 - way by adding a ~9" mid - bass driver on top (similar to the Q7), add the trickle-down goodness from the M9 and you have a ~$300K tweener.
HiFi+. Was the rag that ran multiple front covers of various Nordost cables (everyone a total rave) one year, only to find that the editors partner worked for Nordost! Or is my memory of those heady days off?

After seeing Ron's post below regarding several of your posts on WBF, I have no interest in your comments anymore. Putting you on ignore, be well and have fun bashing everything.
From an earlier post from Ron-
I see no industry or biographical information in the "About" section of your WBF member profile. In any event I find what people post to be more probative than self-characterizations.
I see very strong opinions stated by you unqualifiedly with little to no system context:
Jadis now is the pits. A disgrace.
The Momentum was AWFUL - a right POS compared to the three others I evaluated.

others may not know this re HIFI+ but I think it’s relevant info that may inform
my comments re both Jadis and d’ agostinos phonostage are through bitter experience.
What’s the point if you don’t help others by sharing your actual experience of ‘bad’ hifi saving others the pain. If you only want rave reviews go read a mainstream mag. I thought we were here to share and advise, and not just when we get good positive results/experiences
My last M9 video. My favourite Pink Floyd Album. I never heard Roger Waters sound like this on any system which is unusual in itself as I try and play this song on every system I am able to.

I have advised the powers that be and they are happy with what I have submitted.
My system is heavily modified to my spec as I’ve already pointed out and I really have no interest in specifying everything

Look. If you want to ignore the quite frankly ridiculous scenario where one magazine puts one manufacturer on its cover around FIVE TIMES in one calendar year and it’s later discovered the editors partner is a Nordost employee then so be it. I’m just informing those who may not be aware of such shenanigans

No specifics from this guy, industry affiliation, system, etc. He won’t disclose his name.
WBF is a community where the majority of people and all the heavy users use their real names, disclose their system details, industry affiliations, etc.
