Sir, ganda ng mga gears mo, which of your speakers do you like to listen the most?

accastil · « **Reply #65 on:** Aug 28, 2007 at 06:43 AM »

thanks pao...how are you?
hi doc, i would like to give the vienna acoustics haydn signature as the answer to your question. however, there are a lot of times that i want to hear the monitor audio gold signature10 type of character and at times, also the sonus faber concertino's flawless midrange...it is the reason y im keeping all 3 of them. by the way, i am letting go of my sonus faber concertino for a very good price...its replacement ive already hooked up just last night...a white thing that looks more like an abflector than a loudspeaker

....the most recent pic ill post maybe on sunday.

Hi Sir Allan, musta na dami mo talaga nice speakers.

I'd already auditioned the Vienna Acoustics Grand Haydn here in Seoul kaya lang di ako nag enjoy kasi dinala agad ako nung sales rep sa room ng MBL (Speaker ni Bill Gates daw). Lintek yung MBL parang nuclear reactor pero pag tumunog grabe.

Pero ang galing ng Vienna saka yung tweets nya naka mount sa bass port! Selling price is 975US$.

accastil · « **Reply #68 on:** Sep 02, 2007 at 07:49 PM »

here it is, their new sibling...the magnepan MG12 QR
giving me a new experience in audio....something for keeps...i hope

thanks bassman...mine is the VA haynd signature model btw, local msrp is about 2x youve mentioned...had its tweeters different from the standard haydn models.
oh yes, the MBL is @#$$#^ good....it should be kc kung hindi walang bibili niyan at that price..hehehe.

btw bro, u or someone u know maybe interested with my MA gold signature 10 speakers. had it posted at WS B/S section na.

bassman · « **Reply #70 on:** Sep 02, 2007 at 08:16 PM »

Sir ano nanaman yan parang ghost speakers! I cant imagine how it will amaze its audience. pero Sir bilib na talaga ako sa mga recommend nyo na speakers.

By the way what is the difference between the two viennas?

Sir yung sonus nandyan pa pala sayo? Ok I'll ask my friend if interested sya kasi he's building pure audio setup.

Thanks alot Sir!

quasi-ribbon bro..sounds very different from any other boxed speakers...
i believe the viennas differ in tweeters lang...kaya lang the color itself(rosewood) is a mark up of around 200usd yata.
sorry bro, the sonus already sold the other day. try mo yung Monitor audio, for me it sounds better than the sonus...again, its just for me.

bassman · « **Reply #72 on:** Sep 02, 2007 at 08:30 PM »

Aha different tech pala yan.

sayang yung sonus na miss ko, I havent heard the MA, auditioned ko nga sa weekends.

The viennas really impress me.

yes, hear the MA gold signature bro....u might forget about the VAs after doing so

the VAs are for keeps bro.

Hi Accastil,

may local dealer ba nyan dito? ...... magkano kuha mo?

Devo

accastil · « **Reply #81 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 06:31 PM »

ty Dong..mas maganda kung bebenta mo sa akin ang plaka na dadalhin mo...hehe

sir Devo, i believe there is no local dealer for the AT440MLa. it was bought from the US...very cheap lang (around 90usd) but its a step above the stock ortofon of my debut 3 TT. the ortofon sounds more tonally neutal with better bass slam. the AT440MLa has more detail, air and openess. give it a few hours of break in period and it will get better tonal balance....initially it may sound a tad bright kc.

its busog3x bro..hehe. mids and highs are fantastic. the lows are enough kaya lang mjo mabagal kaya di siya for fast dance and/or rock music....excellent for slow disco music naman (pang showtime!)

yup, the Tinos are gone....namimiss ko na nga actually though im happy to realize that its making somebody else very very proud and happy at the moment.

the MAs... . to me they are a bit better than the Tinos in the highs and lows department...its just really hard to beat the mids of the Tinos....the haydn sigs can

, with flying colors.

another big brother to come very soon
