A very quick update from me about the magic that Pilium and Sigma Acoustic are making in my room.
Konstantinos and Kosta came over from Israel with Dave, my UK distributor friend, to fine tune the amps and make sure they’re at their very best.
Actually the Maat Vector Xac speakers are very efficient at over 100db/8ohm, but they do require a lot of power, decent/pure power for them to deliver best sound. And the Pilium combo does just that.
Not to mention that when we switched from Crystal dream speaker cables, single wire, to the Whitegold cables, triwires, it’s just like night and day. Our gentlemen were pretty amazed by how the sound transformed here.
As the Atlas monoblocks and Olympus pre are literally brand new, so it’ll take sometime for them to properly burn in and optimise their performance, but what I can say is music flows naturally with lot of juices and sweets.
Even at low volume, everything is totally under control and bass is still tight and punchy. Vocals and instruments sound just the way they should do in real life.
I can say that it is crazy dynamic with massive soundstage beyond the walls. The Karan amps made their trademark with those 2 categories, but the Pilium is also on another planet of its own.
I’ll let you know how things progress in the future but hopefully you can have some ideas about the Atlas which are just too new to all of us.
Well done Sirs and thank you for coming over today from very far away. First class service!
