Ridge Street Audio Sason Owners

I've had my Sason's for about two years. They were the first pair built with outside xover etc. I'm totally enjoying them. In my opinion they outperform my original wood Avalon Monitors and SF Guarneri Homage. Image superbly.

fwiw, they sound phenomenal with the relatively unknown Marantz Reference stack, the MA9S1 mono amps and SC1 preamp. (If you're curious you can read about the updated "2" Marantz stack, which is used now as reference electronics at 10audio http://www.10audio.com/marantz_ma-9s2.htm )

Dracule 1, two MA9S1's drive my Sason's. The bass and pinpoint 3D staging is excellent, much better than with my Edge NL10.

For me though, I'm mostly moved by a truthful midrange- accurate timbres & subtle overtones. I'm content with the musicality/synergy of the Sason's and my aging Marantzes. Exploring music & musicians rather than hardware is my journey now. There's a point when we gotta say "good nuf" with 'da schtuff'

(As I write this, Thomas Stanko's new CD Dark Eyes is playing. Highly recommended!)

Greetings to you Pat! How are you doing taming the anomalies of your sound room?

As for teaching, ugh! Here in the states, sadly, we’re pressured to focus on teaching rather than learning. On quantity of measurements (tests) rather than expanding the quality of thinking. Fill-in-the blank tests is the game of No Child Left Behind, which does not develop sorely needed creative problem solvers & communicators. Edumacrats could learn a thing or two from the audiophile community about how misleading it is to only look at numbers. But don't get me going... And don’t let me hijack this thread, as the Sason’s deserve greater recognition & exposure.

Dracule 1- I use two RPG Skyline diffusers behind my Sason's. As you know, you'll have to experiment with the acoustics within your own room. Enjoy the Sason's when you get them!
