I’m going to get an in-house demo of the DCS Rossini and the external clock this weekend.  It’ll be an interesting comparison to my Analog DAC.  Will post my impressions early next week.

I have been told that the Chord is very good; hopefully I will be able hear it at Axpona this year.

They don’t offer any trade-up program, but I’m confident that I can sell the Analog DAC.  As you mentioned it is a really good DAC.  Question is, are today’s DACs that much better?

Good news to report; using three SVS SB4000 sealed subs in a “swarm” configuration works exceptionally well in my large room !  Very please with the results!Using the basic guidelines of the Geddes approach, Sub one was placed in the front center ...

I am working on a multi-sub solution.  I’m going to try three SVS Series 4000 subs arranged in a “swarm” configuration.  The SVS subs are extremely adjustable allowing for simultaneous correction of both peaks and dips.

There is one particular box speaker that I’ve heard at the Shows for the last several years that has caught my attention; the Paradigm Persona.   I’ve only heard the smaller floor standing 3F’s but was favorably impressed.I wonder if they are simi...

I’m using Carver 305 tube mono blocks; about 400 watts into the 4 ohm 20.7’s.  I also have a pair of REL G-2 subs.  As minkwelder indicated, even with the addition of the REL’s the sound reaches a certain maximum that just doesn’t “fill” the room....

Thank you Professors for the lesson in proper English and the correct use of the apostrophe.    Still, 30.7’s just looks so much better and is easier to read... Well, it appears that we have no new 30.7s owners that follow Audiogon.Now my curiosit...

The Bryston is great with Maggie’s for sure.  Better dynamics and bass overall than tubes, but the tube Carvers would give you a bit more midrange ‘magic’.  It’s a personal choice.  You can’t go wrong with the Bryston though, it’s an excellent match.

Elizabeth, congratulations on getting the 20.7’s!  Aren’t they awesome!  As you said, they are definitely a major step up from the 3.6’s.  I’m curious what amps you’re using? I tried many, many amps on my 20.7’s before I found the tubed Carver 305...

Agreed; what we want is to hear from someone, anyone, that has actually purchased a set of 30.7’s and that has set them up in their listening room.Is there Anybody Out there???
