I actually felt in love with the Verdier 845 Triode Spirit monoblocks. Beautifully made and sounding magical. I was about to buy them when I realized than all singers looked like 10 or 20 years younger with voices a tone higher than usual and I can say than their true tone because I listened to them in concerts. Music alone was wonderful. But I could not accept this limitation for voices and you, Cyril and others pointed out the fact that it was probably a mismatch of impedance.

(1) With all due respect to the promoters of this and other shows it is a large investment for little return, in my eyes. (2) Since I have a showroom in the city, lugging all my stuff to a local hotel, and guaranteeing only mediocre sound (relatively speaking) is not my idea of a good time. (3) True about meeting folks, though, but this brings me to #4... (4) If anyone wants to visit me anytime, and they are in CA/SF/East Bay Area, by all means give me a call and swing by. You don't need a show to do it, as I'm always happy to shoot the breeze and spin some music. Sibelius, if you wanted to swing by and hear a few more things, c'mon down.. It's only a matter of locking in a day/time when I am @ the shop.. I will be having a get together soon, btw, so stay tuned... Best, -M |

The Corton Charlemagne EL34 amps are outstanding on the 604's. It's one of my very favorite combo's, besides the Cortese F2a. They are a beautiful blend of power and clarity into the performance - especially those that want to experience the awesome tone of the EL34 tube through efficient speakers, like the 604. In Shindo's circuit, he really maximizes the EL34 abilities. They are not a warm and fuzzy experience like a vintage marantz 8b, just for an example. They are extened and open, yet retain the EL34's beautiful textural qualities. As well, they have a drive and momentum to the sound that is really addictive. -M Last edited by pitch perfect; 08-11-2011 at 12:38 PM. Reason: typo |

Matt, when you have some time, perhaps you could share with us some of your experience with the various Shindo gear and speakers, (Shindo and others) as well as your preferences and favorites. Your idea on what constitutes a well balanced system, the different topologies and tube variations, etc, some of your favorites from the past experience of setting up Shindo systems for your clients, etc.. It doesn't have to be all in one post. Perhaps "Matt's weekly blog" here on AA.

I like your style Jeff... This thread isn't boring because you tell it the way it is.
