1. Infinity IRS. dito ko lang nadinig ang true bass definition. hindi mo lang maramdaman, easily distinguisable definition ng low frequencies.
2. Vivid Giya. tunog mayaman! in one word- spectral balance!
3. Devore/Naim. my type of sound. nothing stands out but nothings missing. conveys the sound with the right emotions.

Mid 90's, Acoustic Energy AE1 in Quad carpark, forgot the name of the store. My jaw dropped, i could not believe the output these little speakers were putting out. I became an instant fan of AE. Several years later I was able to buy an Aegis 1. Had the same jaw dropping experience :)

Yikes ang mahal naman sa speakers niyo. Harbies are good, I mean excellent but they are in another different level especially the price. The Orangutan are Superb! heard it once in a shop in NYC but a whopping price of $7k something, it must also have to do w/ the high end sources used.

one owner said he had other more expensive speakers on his system but this is the only speaker he was able to trick his dog to follow a "sit" command through his stereo.
If ever I reach a point in life where I could afford to put together a $1m stereo system, this will be #1 on my audition list.
Post by: jay john on Jan 22, 2016 at 09:08 PM
1. Wharfedale dentons - just need a lot of open space and a powerful amplifier.
2. Celestion sl6 - hard to find a matching amp, nearly gave up but I found the "one" after almost a year of . experimenting.
3. Dynaco A 25 - an all around performer. Easy to match and sound astonishing with marantz 2252 receiver.

1. GoldenEar Triton 7 - good
2. Martin Logan EM-ESL - better (much bigger soundstage than the Triton 7)
3. B&W 805D - best! (the Triton 7 and ML don't hold a candle vs the diamond's clarity!)
all powered by the Marantz PM-11S3 reference int amp.
PS
my personal setup is a GoldenEar Aon 3 powered by Emotiva XPA-100 power amps. I'm content with its SQ. :)

I bet the 40.2 would cost around more or less at the 500 level :o

me of all that I tried, it may seem un-believable but its the WHARFDALE Dentons. I would really consider this as a "Super Bang For The Buck Little Box"! Sound is really a good pairing on whatever kind of amp you throw at it. Whether its a Vintage gear, Tube or SS it really produces a very neutral tones, Deep Lows are even capable w/c my Vienna Acoustics cant handle on SAM SMITH's Stay W/ Me at a little high on the knob. On the HIGHs sibilance is really absent w/c sometimes can be fatiguing to our ears. Even TT Guru NOLY (TAS) came to the house & saw the little devils said These Are Great Performers. Indeed they are. Just sharing an experience for a bookshelf that cost no more than P14k ;)
yes, Denton it is!
good to know, am in good company :)

Old school pa rin. :)
Well, that was some 30 years ago.
Have been out of the audio loop na so I can only talk about “old stuff”.
Am a soundstage guy so my partiality to planars … but you need lotsa room to let these breathe. I once hauled a pair of Tympani’s in my smallish bedroom (which was my listening room then) much to my wife’s annoyance. :)
Didn’t work.
Replaced them with the old Quads. Fantastic midrange reproducer but had to let these go since I was wary of it’s reliability.
Downsized to SMGa’s. Loved the Maggie sound so I got the MG 111’s when I had a bigger dedicated listening room. For me, this broke the myth of planars lacking the lows.
Given the adequate power (yes, these babies are hungry), the 7.5 sq foot area can push air enough to get those lows.
I still have the 111s but been hibernating for some time now.
Right now, my daily driver is a pair of Onkyo Liverpool 2 bookselves.
I’m happy with these. Reminds me of my old SL6s.
These rotate with the Sony La Voces.
https://bb3blog.wordpress.com/2015/09/08/the-sony-ss-a5-la-voce-speakers/
I’m sure most modern speakers have that holy-grailed neutrality unlike the colorations introduced by those dinosaurs mentioned above.

I only use vintage and from what I've had, the AR-9, Yamaha NS-1000, JBL 4312, and JBL L-112 were the best sounding.

Magico Q5 - Hegel
Von Schweikert VR9 - KR Audio Kronzilla
Vivid G3 - Simaudio
Raidho D5 - Aavik
Focal Utopia - VTL Siegfried
Different flavors but the above combos for me are all engaging, effortless and have the "in the room" effect that is so addicting.
