Art of Sound Law - Your Rights

[Spectral Morn]

I think I would agree with you -- but then again I know of folk who just love their Monitor Audio speakers -- and who am I to say they are wrong?
It's right for them!

... maybe teaming up with a somewhat smooth and 'beautiful' Cyrus CD8X CDP (honest, Dave!) is a good match for them?

The comment was in regard to system matching and synergy with the named electronics. I think that MA could be matched with some warmer electronics to possibly good effect, but on the whole I have yet to hear any MA speaker I could personally live with.

With all due respect Dave ('cos you're a lovely fella!) I'm afraid Jerry has hit the nail on the head here:



Personally, I'm a big fan of Rega in general, but also like Roksan gear and have heard Cyrus kit make some lovely noises (including the setup owned by my brother-in-law).

All three companies have made plenty of stunning kit and the odd item that was personally not to my liking but, as Jerry said, sweeping generalisations do no-one any favours and only ensure that anyone who wishes to have a pop at you has suitable ammunition.

Does your bro in law have his stuff with PSXR's on everything, 'cos most of what I heard without them sounded a bit anaemic and not very musical at all? The £500 ish amp that Roksan market is the Kandy - I said the Caspian was rather different and not generalising but the Kandy was horrid.

The main cause of the torrent from NVA Towers is mainly due to the Brio R for some reason, and not really Glenn's stuff (a piece of which I own incidentally). So, maybe i should start a separate thread on asking about NEW dealer-available £500 integrateds which sound good, offer good reliability, fine sonics for the price and last well.....

The main cause of the torrent from NVA Towers is...

...a bored old man (with an incurably cynical mind that continually sees ulterior motives in situations where there aren't any) getting his 'kicks' from pulling your strings like a puppet!

Starve him of oxygen, by ignoring him, and your problem will become as insignificant as he is

Simples!
