Put some more vids up with various music like Metal/Rock/Jazz/Vocals/etc. Very few Pio EX speakers on Youtube and we love to hear them as they are one of the best in the world. (owner of the S-1EX's).

From all my listening on Youjunk (youtube poor recordings), I'd definitely say the sound I am hearing is quite a big one from the R1, but more of a big one for say, huge ass rooms.  CR1 would be exceptional even in a larger room.  S1 or E1 definitely a slight difference, but still insane good.  I use about 20-40ish tube watts, but I have had 200 watt exceptional amps from Plinius/Modwright/Pass Labs/etc. and put absolute/brute power aside, my tube amps kill these other powerhouse amps.  My only wish is I had 100 same tube watts or even 100 same solid state watts...the quality of those watts truly makes all the difference...one can get a very very brilliant sound from the more powerful amps, but one can never get the sheer immediacy-clarity-in your face type of sound from very small powered amps say even like the SIT-1 from Pass Labs which sure, only 5 watts or something, but 5 amazing watts...like my tube amps...maybe only 20-40 max watts, but those 10-20 "dynamic" watts are just pure bliss.  Accuphase is damn good stuff so I'm positive you are hearing lovely tunes!!!  Peace!!!

i heard R1 and CR1 aboult 3 years ago, E1 aboult 1 year ago at the moscow hi-end show... it was before my Accuphases so i cant compare it wright... R1 is absolutely EPIC - GODS of audio with no doubt... offcaurse R1 is much more powerfull etc, but S1 sounds not bad at least next to themm as any other AC's... all of them need large rooms and complete silence and a few days of listening - its impossible to compare in real life imho... i worship at my S1 and Accuphases, and Oyaide and TAOC :))

Class A Accuphase:):):)...very nice:)!!! I run my 1EX's with 30 watts of very clean tube power, and a person almost a mile away from my place complained about the music being too loud;):)) I'm very curious how TAD All BE coaxial sounds compared to the Magnesium+same BE tweeter in our EX series speakers. Have you had a chance to hear TAD CR1 or TAD Ref 1 to compare?

What is the rest of the system? amp ? preamp? dac?

[asurin]

yes, aboult wattage, its better to have more of them for less distortion... i'd love to have 2 or even 4 - A200 but its too expensive :)) but 2 A60 it dual mono biamping mode sounds much more sharp and beautifull than 1 A60... even with small input volume from my C2810... i want to buy 1 more amp to biamp fronts in multychannel and ofcaurse to have even more purity in stereo... its not like music anymore - its like drugs for soul, compeletely blow you away...

[asurin]

while this video its multichanneled from stereo with Onkyo5509 and Anthem A2, MCA 50 amps... offcourse now, with A class Accuphases, it sounds MUCH better :)) shame the room is TOO small - autoequalizers DG48 and Onkio5509 fixes it, but offcourse its not the best way the system can do...

This music shows nothing, better play drums or orchestra
