Only Three People in the World...
Hi Doug,You're not forgetting me (in Hong Kong) I hope????Actually your experiences were the main reason for going this route! In about a week or so, I'll be hooking up some Zu Tones to the dual Pathi very soon. Quite a different character speaker...

What is your most beautiful component?
Hey Maxxc,Agree with you re: the Focus Audio 688's - mine are Burr Piano walnut. I also have a pair of Focus Audio 888's in the Burr Piano Oak and they are visually stunning . . . so it's a toss up for the "1A" spot. The looks and comments from fr...

Which $7000 speakers to ask Santa?
Hi Beheme,You might consider a pair of Focus Audio FS-888.Slightly warmish and a very detailed sound especially. Female/Male voice accuracy is definately a strong suit. Finish to die for with WAF off the scale. Frequency range 30-25K with the 30 n... 
Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ?
Hi Luvmusic8,Haven't heard the Omega, but I own the Zu Tone and have heard the Druid. Both have the warm midrange you're looking for in spades. Between the two, it comes down to the amount of bass you're comfortable with (with the Druid obviously ...

Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Hi Dan,To hear the model 6's do drums or Rock is truly a treat. There is a sense of speed in the low end that defies the size of the driver. Yet, at the same time, the high end is sweet and mid's are very dense and with great detail. In short - th... 
Pathos classic one mk2
HI Dreadhead,In my post above, I touched on the connections issue as this was one of my primary concerns too. No need to join the amps as there is no master nor slave preamp in bridged mode. In essence, each block has its own pre with you needing ... 
pathos endorphine??
Andreas,In a word, yes, it is as good as it looks. Build quality, is as you allude to, superb. A bit larger in the flesh than you'd think looking at the pictures.As to the sound, smooth and very very nice in the midrange. I have bridged Pathos Cla...
