Hi Holtzhauer I have admired your system especially those contras! I tried the Plinius but I can’t remember the model and it was very good, though I prefer a slightly warmer sound. The Macs do everything that I want and I was previously using the 501’s but the 611’s are on a different level. They are much faster, greater depth and presence. I think going to the Analysis Plus Oval 8 was a huge improvement though. Glad your doing well and keep me informed of your choice.

Beautiful system.  I have the Diapason 2's as well.  I'm using the Plinius SA-103 power amplifier.  Did you do any amplifier experimentation before arriving at McIntosh?  My Plinius is getting pretty old so I'm thinking of getting something different.

Breezer: from what I understand the driver configuration is the same , but with different drivers. I have heard a 2 version and my sound very different. You would have to ask Vasken what the differences are. Mine are finished in ebony and they are pictured on pinterest.

Hello, can you please send some pictures from the new Diapasons? What are new on them in comparison to the later Diapasons with slightly bigger Double Eagle from about 10 years ago?
What is the actual MRSP?

Thanks! I have a pair of the new Shahinian Diapasions 2's coming soon. I'm looking forward to hearing them as both the Obelisk 2's and the ARC 2's sound great here.

Beautiful room!

Great looking room and classic gear!   I've never heard Shahinian, but I have a hunch that I'd like them.

Looks great and must sound great. Not familiar with the speakers but they look awesome.

Hi Very Inviting room and equipment. I've heard the shahinian and found them unusual and intriguing. If you have problems with dust on the platter of the SME check out Dust-O-Disc.

Thanks! I love your Village Baker concept. Sorry I missed it when we were there looking at OU for my daughter

Congrats on a very nice room, I can picture myself getting lost going through big boxed sets of chamber music in that serene space. I'm sure it sounds lovely.

Thanks! I agree the clutter drives me nuts! We are getting ready to build another house which will be more modern and less cluttered

Beautiful room! Nice, neat, organized and clean. Makes me WANT to sit and listen. It's amazing how many people post nasty, cluttered and unorganized rooms here. 
Well done.

It is the Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer from the 1930's

Is that a GUS chair ?
