Congrats on the new speakers!  It would have been interesting to hear if subs helped these speakers at all.  Too bad told those JLs.

My question is about the Rowland S2 integrated you had. Would love to hear your thoughts on how it sounded.  My beloved Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated is getting a little long in the touch and after a recent $500 repair, I am not sure how long its going to last so I am beginning to look for options to pair with my Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution monitors.

Received my Monitor Audio PL-500. Posted a picture, but the picture really doesn't do the speakers justice. I will post a review in a couple of weeks.

Sold my beloved Aerial 7Ts and replaced them with Monitor Audio PL-500. I pray I'm done!

Charles,

Thanks for the nice words regarding my system. Your system is very nice too. My problem is I really love what I have and getting a little more of what I love is expensive.

Ricred,
I don't have any specific speaker recommendations. My question was borne from genuine curiosity. You have such a very nice system as it is, I just wondered what objectives you are pursuing.
Best Wishes,
Charles,

I'm looking to have a little more spacing between instruments when recording allows! Changing from the JR 525 to the JR Continuum S2 improved resolution and bass articulation. Going from the Bricasti M1 DAC to the Aeris provided more detail and a slightly wider soundstage. The aforementioned changes were relatively small from a cost standpoint. I've heard the Raidho C 3.1s with the JR 525 and they were great. They definitely provide more spacing, but at a significant cost. Do you suggest any other speaker options below 20K. I say below 20K, because I'm getting the Raidhos from a friend at a great price.

Hi,
Lots of significant changes recently. What are you seeking to obtain that you don't currently hear in your system?
Thanks,

Decided to sell my Aerial 7Ts and get Raidho C 3.1s. I should have them before the end of the month.

System edit: sold my Bricasti M1 DAC and purchased a Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC. I'm attending RMAF 2015 to search for speakers to possibly replace my Aerial 7Ts. I hope to get the opportunity to listen to Focal Sopra 2s, Dynaudio C4s, and Vienna Liszts.

System edited: I just changed my Silver Eclipse 7 XLR IC to the Platinum XLR. The difference is significant to my ears and now I've ordered a 1 meter Platinum Eclipse 7 digital cable.

Added Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 IC. I still can't believe what I'm hearing. Not night and day difference, but improvements across the audio spectrum.

Owner
Wireworld 75 Ohm coax/SPDIF?

ricred1

That is exciting Richard.... What connection will you be using from BDP-2? USB or 75 Ohm coax/SPDIF?

Guido,

My Bricasti M1 has shipped and I will have it on Wednesday. I will provide you my initial thoughts on Friday.

ricred1

That's awesome Richard... Have you received Pricasti M1 already?

Guido,
Yes, the BDP2 is one of the best purchases ever. I don't know how it compares to other players, but I really love it. Very easy to use and to have access to my music from my IPad is great.

ricred1

Hey Richard, did not know about BDP-2... That is also the digital player they seem to prefer at the Rowland factory... And once again, congrats about M525!
