Who is the KING of MONOS?
Gryphon Colosseum's Solos or the Antileon Signature mono's, Boulder 2050's, Soulutions, Vitus, Goldmunds, Wavac 833's, Pass XA200.5's (only those), TAD M600's, Krell EVO 2's.I think this is the direction you should look if you are really looking f... 
Who is the KING of MONOS?
Hate to say it but I don't think your list even makes the top 10. 
Rockport Aquila vs Altair
I own the Aquila's as well. Cmalak's comments on 8/21 also sums up my impression very well. The treble is smooth, the audiotechnology midrange is textured and just so real, and the bass is punchy and articulate. And the beauty of its sleek curves!... 
RevelStudio2 really special or I need to hear more
Rockport Ankaa's and above are truely special, but not with ML gear. 
Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound
Not sure if this is true but my AD said the change to this circuit board (you swap out the entire circuit board where the power supply comes in - I saw it) is mostly to reduce the heat produced. Maybe some people were complaining the player got to... 
Rockport Altair version 2 ?
Yeah I'll give Andy a call. I've been very curious about Andy's berylium tweeter when he came out with the 2 way floorstander at CES last year. I'm a fan of the soft dome Scanspeak revelator since I probably sit a bit closer to the speakers than o... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Sounds awesome. I need to do an in-home audition. I've heard nothing but praise for them from several well regarded people I know. 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Under what circumstances did you listen to the Tad R1's? I had auditioned the R1's before but the audition was quite bad because of the very bad room (sloped ceilings, lack of sidewalls). They were also mated with Viola electronics which I don't c... 
Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series
I would love to see comparisons of the XA.5 series versus the Gryphon Antileon Signature or the Colosseum. Maybe it'll have to be up to me to do that since I don't see many Gryphon owners here. 
Best U.S.A. speakers?
Rockports. 
Tidal Speakers owners
Maxx - which speakers did you compare them to when you were doing auditions? I'm sure you had to have compared a lot before spending so much money. I would love to hear your comments.Thanks! 
B&W 803D vs GamuT L5
I used to own the Gamut L5. I think it's a better speaker than even the 802D with a better midrange/tweeter although slightly less bass. 
Tidal contriva se vs Hansen The Prince V2
I'm starting to get suspicious here regarding why everyday someone just has to refresh a Tidal thread and pump this brand up. And it's the same people who keep replying saying they are the best in the world and in a higher class than brand X. It a... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I do not believe the Sunray is better than the Arrakis. I listened to Sunrays in Hong Kong. However the room wasn't as good as the room the Arrakis was in. Also IMO there is no question that the cabinet construction and overall build quality is be... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Rockport Arrakis in a purposely built and tuned room mated with all Gryphon electronics (Mirage and Colosseum) is the best setup I've ever heard. I just can't imagine anything better, only different. The Clearaudio Statement turntable might have h...
