Soulution or CH Precision

Christian Punter at Hifi Advice uses CH Precision as his reference and has reviewed Solution and compared the two. I find his reviews very thorough and helpful.

Thanks for your answers. Indeed Dartzeel is not a brand I put on my radar yet as it is not easy to demo where I live and as I like dynamics and fast transient was not too sure it was meeting the requirement ( I mean their stereo amp not their mono)

regarding darTZeel and dynamics and fast transients, i would say that you have it completely in the service of the music. and that the amplifiers you are considering are 3x or 4x the price of the 108 stereo dart. granted the mono darts are even more costly than the ones you are targeting.

but back to dynamics and fast transients; i would say that first of all, that sometimes perceived speed has to do with something missing or diminished, in a relative sense, that musical completeness is important. and then that micro-dynamic nuance and musical refinement expand the times when you have the musical connection. amplifier-speaker synergy is so important. the speakers you have targeted are not forgiving.

the investment you are considering is considerable. not that i presume to know what gear level you are coming from. but you may also find that a step into this ’uber’ gear level realm expands your musical horizons and even adjusts what might now be so important. i know my musical tastes have evolved with my system and a broader range of music now connects with me that never before impressed me.

i have many visitors to my system who are astonished by how my darTZeel’s can do large scale music with maximum power and slam, but retain their soul and composure. never hard or fatiguing, they flow along with whatever warp 9 music i choose, be it Beethoven or Led Zeppelin.

OTOH so much of the music is in the first watt; and the big darts have an amazing magical first watt that delivers soul and drive in those more subdued musical moments.

at these very high levels of gear it’s overall balance that really delivers.

darTZeel does take a path less traveled. many fewer pieces in the signal path and no global feedback. a more direct musical connection. not as processed. and distribution of darTZeel is more spotty. not sure where you live, but if you can fly to the Seattle area you would be welcome to visit me to hear them.

Thanks for the invitation Mike. You have very probably one of the best system in the world ! 
But i am living in Hong Kong so a but far. I think Dartzeel is represented as they have always a big room at the HK show but not too sure they have a local showroom. Will investigate!

And will give a second chance to Dag momentum. The first demo was very disappointing but it was more due the speakers room interaction.
