God I love your channel… absolutely wonderful! 😊

[elderinmoi]

I find it strange that they come out with a new speaker that costs a hell lot of money and just after that they introduced the signature that costs even more as if to say look: this is how we could have made this speaker in the first place but we did not. And if you want the finished product we charge you extra.

These B&W speakers and SF Stradivari G2 speakers are about the same price. Both sound demos are available on this channel, recorded by the same mic and driven by both McIntosh gears. Which one do you think sounds more to your liking? Not better or worse, but your personal preferences.

While simultaneously, you’re sat inside the guitar body .

Sharkng it for the sheer fun of finally getting to my personal system and choices being tired of always McIntosh with B&W not that McIntosh doesn't compliment them in every way but for an alternative money no object B&W system setup - 🎶 BREATHE IT IN. FEEL IT. THIS IS THE SOUND OF ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. 🎶

Hello! What type is the transparent plastic tower in the background and has there been a video of it? I'd love to hear how it sounds! (Google translator)

[Provision]

What are the white horn speakers in the back ground? Please

[medmax]

What kind of acoustic cable do you use?

[rushgush]

[connorduke]

Ethereal soundstage and full frequency range; but mids are slightly recessed and dry.
