My eternal chase for magical point source sound has taken me from Innersound to Vienna to B&W to Tyler to Sanders to Tannoy to Golden Ear to Zu to Tannoy to KEF (Ref 1) to Zu to Sonist to PMC to Fyne back to KEF...specifically the Blade.
Dug the new Carver Black Magic 25 so much I bought another to go mono. Ergo, sold the beastly Sanders Magtech. Went from 900 watts @4 to 25 watts @4 (closer to 90 in mono). Does that tell you how good the Carvers are?
Ever evolving: this week a) Sanders Magtech sold & B) 2nd Bob Carver Black Magic 25 arrived to go mono. Last week the PrimaLuna Prologue pre arrived. Ergo, building the glass forest.
New addition last week: Fidelium speaker cables. That old saw of wanting to stay up late every night listening to your records? That is literally happening to me continuously the last week.
It's been so bad I've forgotten to feed or clean myself.
Great looking speakers! I’ve never had the pleasure of hearing the Blades (I’m still in love with my 207’s), but being KEF, I’m sure they sound as beautiful as they look!
Out with the NAD C298 amp, in with the Sanders Magtech. The Blade2 were good on the NAD but the KEF thrive on big current. Felt they needed a bit more mustard. Which they now have, oh my laws.
Really beautiful system. I live just a few miles from both Zu and RBH Sound. I traded into a pair of Zu cubes. They did so many things well, but sounded just awful with some recording. Have you enjoyed your pair?
Very cool setups! Love ‘em both. I see you’ve got a cat too. They make the listening environment better in my opinion! Your bitcoin reference hurts... they’re up to around $23k now for 1. Could have been a millionaire had we jumped on that in the beginning.
