Bliss Hifi Reference System 2024One thing about Vivid speakers, the drivers they utilize are really nothing special at all! Yet, they seem to be able to bring out speakers that are superb sounding and top flite in SQ. The new Moy... posted 7 months ago | View comment | |
alexatpos's SystemAlex, I have only heard the Accordo's in a couple of systems. The GH's and the Accordo's are certainly cut from the same cloth. Franco knew what he was doing. I think the GH's are slightly more res... posted about 1 year ago | View comment | |
alexatpos's SystemAlex, you make a great point about the size of the speaker to the room, one which i totally agree with BTW. Indeed smaller is often better.Luckily, in my room, which has smaller width and leng... posted about 1 year ago | View comment | |
alexatpos's SystemNice system. One question, you stated that the GH's were too big?? Yet you are now using the FS Accordo's. Can you elaborate a little on why the GH's were too big? I have never heard anyone say tha... posted about 1 year ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThank you alan 2. Yes, tube amps are special. I think if one can have both, tube and ss, it is a great idea. Both offer something that the other does not. No right answer though, it's all good. posted about 3 years ago | View comment | |
