    ..there is a lot lot lot to read about Hana.... all over the world. A P6 is a fantastic TT .....in relation to its price maybe one of the best regas ever made. TT and arm can easily handle almost any High End Cart. Hana SL or ML..... no doubt that the ML is as written in many magazine in the...

    Floor-standing speakers with a R140k budget?

    Dear Hendrik...... your visit now becomes overdue hahahahaha..... but on SF I absolutely agree on Hendriks choice. They do NOT match really well with most Valves - regardless what some magazines may write. A Gryphon combo does very well (Antileon Evo).... but we are off topic...because its...

    No its very easy..... all cartons are there and the Uno Finos are super easy to ship..... The Primos are more challenging because of the weight - but wooden crates are all there.....so its work yes. Trios the same.....huuuuge wooden crates for the massive basshorns but the satellites are easy...

    Thirteen Combination Speical

    .........The Avantgarde Uno Fino and Triode 25 are located in Cape Town (Loft)....and also the big Trio System connected to a complete Brinkmann Chain (Pre, DAC and Monos - which sounds really great). @maharajs ....oh... the System you ve heard at my home is in a different league....(and you...

    Thirteen Combination Speical

    I wonder why noone here is biting on "The Valves & The Horns".... this is an almost brand new, seldom played (not even break-in) Avantgarde Horn " UNO FINO" - in my view miles ahead of the old Duos....and in perfect synergy to the little Unison Research Triode 25 - a legend by itself. The Bass...

    Thirteen Combination Speical

    Those Soltanus are like fine dining.....you dont get one big meal.....its more like the 8 course menu where 8 little surprises ll leave you saturated and happy. They would be my choice for a less loud system (and those who knowing me - I listen loud). If I would have an extra small or medium...

    Floor-standing speakers with a R140k budget?

    @KenMasters ..... in the early 90ies I was not only travelling through Germany to introduce a relative unknown brand Dali from your home country - I also convinced and worked with audio german dealers to improve their showrooms with acoustic elements like Diffusors and Basstraps from another...

    yes of course - they are. In fact I have just now 2 guys which are interested in the Synthesis Amp alone.... one stepped back before...2 others are just chewing on it.

    Floor-standing speakers with a R140k budget?

    @Hendrik....and yes.... if you once experienced how the magazines and reviewers listening rooms are and "sound" - you are questioning the results of their tests. I remember the many hours I spend in Audio or Stereoplays listening room - and I never could enjoy anything - not even my own...

    Thirteen Combination Speical

    Those Soltanus speakers been the first ELS without a crossover and they do almost all what ELS are famous for slightly better. In fact they have very much in common with my so far favorites the good old CLS from Martin Logan. The Soltanus do really not like Solid State Amps but this Synthesis...
