markmuse's SystemMilpai, @milpai , changed my mind again and returned the Orchard monos. They were good, but not a $6k improvement over the AGD. I ordered a 3B3 Bryston. Supposed... posted 10 months ago | View comment | |
markmuse's Systemmilpai, what speakers are you using? I think the Tempo will successfully drive most. Maggies are notoriously hard to drive.The limited edition monos from Orchard are sold out, b... posted 10 months ago | View comment | |
markmuse's SystemMalpai, decided to keep the Orchard LPS monos. They better the AGD Tempo in every way except for a slight loss of textures in the upper mids and highs. Also, now that I have them I do recognize the... posted 10 months ago | View comment | |

markmuse's SystemOh, I see you have Proac Response. I have a pair of Response 2's from years ago. Bass drivers need refoaming and the tweeters have lost their ferro fluid. And probably the crossovers need work too.... posted 11 months ago | View comment | |

markmuse's SystemI expect to have them in mid February if there are no further delays. You might need to remind me. posted 11 months ago | View comment | |
markmuse's Systemmilpai, yes the Tempo drives the LRS+ with ease... absolutely no sense of strain at all. Plenty of "bounce and zing". The Tempo is like shining a light into the darkness, if that makes any sense. A... posted 11 months ago | View comment | |
markmuse's SystemHello milpai. The Coda is a fine amp, but for me the AGD Tempo is a better match for my system, particularly with the LRS+. The detail (without changing the tonal balance - me... posted 11 months ago | View comment | |
markmuse's SystemHi Milpai, the 12sn7’s are a bit sharp in the presence region by comparison to the Horizon 12au7’s. And the BBs, I am beginning to wonder if they perhaps not BB. They are Amperex but don’t say BB. ... posted over 1 year ago | View comment | |

markmuse's SystemYes, you can and should (in my opinion). The sound is more spacious, detailed, and dynamic at the micro level. The dealer I bought it from sent it with them. I have tried several 12au7 tubes in the... posted over 1 year ago | View comment | |
markmuse's SystemHi Milpai, and thank you! Tubes are 12SN7 with adapters. More detailed and dynamic than the standard tubes. These are RCA, I think gray plates. I would have to pull them to check. R... posted over 1 year ago | View comment | |
paulius's System #1Nice looking system! Question, how big is your room? I ask because I almost bought the Meta's, but bought the Ref 1's instead - partly because my room is kinda big at 25 x 25 ft. I think the Meta's... posted about 4 years ago | View comment |
