Soulution vs Boulder vs TAD electronics vs MBL whi


Owning now the Soulutions 700 monos/pre, speakers are the MBL 101 MKII I goes to the Munich 2013 show, and I was hearing many systems, and in my humble opinion, Soulution was a little lean, TAD a little dark and Boulder a little too sweet but at the end better, I recognize that the best system for me was the living voice with Audio note Kondo, but kondo canĀ“t work with my speakers, the second best one was the TAD system and the MBL, I was very disappointed with Constellation with TAD reference one speakers, surprised by how good sounds CH precision electronics with VIVID speakers and with Stenheim speakers(Alumine 2 way) in two different rooms, also Absolare with Altair speakers had very good sound, and in one of my 3 vists to the Magico S5 with Spectral room they also was good, not so in the others 2 visits.

I will be very pleased to know your opinions and advice, based on what did you heard about these electronics(MBL, TAD Boulder perhaps the new series 2100, CH precision, Balabo, never heard.., and sorry and yes the soulutions are for sale and accept yours offers, are 220 located in Europe.

If you are in Europe you should really check out the Audionet stuff from Germany.

The gear is incredibly advanced, and is reasonably priced for true reference gear. The press on it from anyone who reviews it is usually a rave.

Their ideas are quite different they use very few output devices and the amplifiers were developed with technology derived from a project to increase accuracy in medical measuring equipment.

Their MAX amplifiers are rated for 400 watts 8 ohm load and can deliver 1,100 watts into a 2 ohm load.

These amps are neutral yet musical.

I will be evaluating them in my reference system shortly, everything I have read about them shows these guys really know how to build equipment.

I have heard the Solutions and I have never thought they were musical, it is a hard balancing act to achieve some degree of sonic neutrality without killing the timbre and timing which makes an amplifier sound musical.

I would point out that many of these products are over designed and this complication leads to impressively built components which have robbed the soul of the music, sometimes simplicity and elegance of the circuit serves the purpose better.
Who mentioned AVM? Audionet is Audionet, AVM is AVM two totally different companies.

I would try to find a pair of the Audionet MAX they should be able to drive the MBL's perfectly, they have amazing specs, with massive power delivery into 1 ohm loads, with a tremendous damping factor, these two attributes should lead to a successful marriage with the MBL.

When you factor in their reasonable price and superb build quality I don't see why you wouldn't want to check them out
