eto yang hinahanap mo.  kapalit na ba ng wharfedale pacific evo30?  group test winner din naman yung speaker mo ha at mid-level pa yung mga tinumba.  :)  :)  :)




sir hans,

matitindi pala yung mga tinumba nyan.  must audition yan.  heard the chorus 706 and 707 but not yet the 714.

Hi Sir Hans.

Compared w/ your Evo-30's, the 714's would be a downgrade, don't you think?

Hi Sir Hans.

Price  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D upgrade coz Chorus 714S price at 38k discounted pero sound di ko pa na audition  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Only got to hear the 706S wala pa yun 714S when we drop by to have a peek. 706S sound is good considering still new and in break in stage. expect good soundstage with nice separation and control, smooth highs ( pero parang di extended  ;D ;D ;D but i maybe wrong ) mids are like the Wharfedale ( mataba ) a little forward but not hard, bass tight and tuneful. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Evo30 sound is somewhat neutral and authorative or baka sa amp lang hehehehe.

ako nga po! ;D

ika nga ni katotong jetok, yung pang-next year na plano kong speaker upgrade naging Next Week!

thanks again hans for tagging along.   i'm still wondering up to now why that AMX EL84 amp is collecting dust in the rack when it sounded so great with the Evo 3.  geez...

and to segway, i love the way your Evo 30 sounded with the Adcom GFA-535 II power amp and the souped up AMX tube pre-amp.  i guess you better re-think. :)

jetok,

chief, yan nga... listened also to the Tannoys, which i used to have the Mercury 2 before pero naiba ng signature timbre nya ngayon... no offense to Tannoy owners here.  saw the MA RS, failed to listened pero ang pogi ng porma, pang-palasyo!

New age,  before dun sa amp dati pinaka match talaga yun el84 dun sa AE evo1. Smooth highs and extended tapos yun mids ang ganda talaga di mataba at bloated tamang tama lang. Magaling din mag bigay ng bass yan, Fast and  dynamic din siya considering 14 watter na tube yun nag drive sa kanya. 

Ika nga ni chief "soulmate" silang dalawa. Sayang nabenta ko na yun amp kaya balik HT uli ako.  :)

i totally agree with you rony on your sound review... match ang EL84 amp with the Aegis.  give a listen to the Evo 30 of hans driven by the adcom ss power amp and amx tube pre-amp, ganda din.

new_age,

ikaw ang may kasalanan niyan......baka hindi na mag-audition ng CHORUS 714S si hans kasi pinahiram mo ng SS adcom 60watter amp.........baka amp naman ang mapagdiskitahan at hindi na yung speaker.  ;D  ;D  ;D

hans,

peace tayo. ;)

sorry Hans, pero talagang maganda naging outcome ng adcom/amx combi with your Evo 30, no doubt. can't imagine pa kung iba-bi-amp mo yan with the other 100-watter adcom amp. 

jetok,

kasalanan ko nga lahat ito...lalong naguluhan ang isip ng katoto nating si Hans na sa buong akala ko'y makakatulong ako sa kanyang paninimdim.  Nawa'y matagpuan niya ang katiwasayan sa magulong mundo ng odyo.

Guys,

I auditioned the Chorus 706S at Toys for the Audio boys paired with Cayin EL34 amp and the sound was very good and musical compare to my initial audition at AVi..  :)

Alam nyo ba kung magkano dyan sa pinas ang Chorus 806v? Nag bid kasi ako sa ebay. Currently nasa $500 sya. Im thinking to bid until $600. Sulit kaya sya? Iuuwi ko sya sa Pinas pag uwi ko. Tingin nyo ba mas ok dyan na lang ako sa pinas bumili?
