Raven One
Thomas, how does the Raven compare to your Basis? 
Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones?
I own the active version of the Gradient Revolution and I highly recommend them, because they (a) sound great; and (b) work as designed in that they have very little interaction with the room. They significantly outperform the much more expensive ...

Brinkman Balance Comparisons
Rick,Call Jeff at Highwater Sound in NYC to demo the TW Acustic Raven 1, baby brother to the Raven AC. It uses the same P/S, motor and the same, but smaller bearing as the Raven AC. It's competitively priced too.Evan

I've had my L300/P300 for nearly a year and it's a wonderful product. I owned a $23,000 Naim 552 prior to the Dynie and do not miss a thing about it. 
Pure Note Paragon vs. Kimber Select
Okay, how about some thoughts on the Pure Note Paragon? 
Does anyone own a Dynavector HX-1.2 power amp?
I own two to bi-amp a pair of Neat Ultimatum MF9's. You haven't received many responses to your query, because there are only 5 or so HX1.2s in the US. It is a wonderful amplifier: powerful, delicate and musical. Dynavector's replacement for the H...
