Some say Aja is their masterpiece, but for me it's always Gaucho. Flawless.

[@ELM804]

In my humble opinion, Aja is great while Gaucho is a grandeur. Gaucho is a masterpiece both musically and sonically, the latter of which cannot be even matched by the recently released UHQR version that I have made a comparison with.

nice speakers

[@ELM804]

Thanks.

[@kenforton5295]

I see some C-J, Marantz, Accuphase . . . What else!?

[@ELM804]

Thanks. Eagle eye 👍. Some other components in my modest system are TW Acustic, Phasemation (formerly known as Phasetech), Marten speakers, and Stein Music and Miyajima Lab cartridges.

Time to upgrade to some Martin-Logans.

[@ELM804]

Hmm.. Voice coil speakers remain fascinating to me even after listening to those for a good number of years. Thanks for your tips though.

@@ELM804 Ever listen to a Klipach corner horn set of speakers? Another nice choice if you prefer the voice coil route.

[@ELM804]

@@badGamr I am afraid not. No harm to give them a listen if opportunity arises. In the meantime I am happy with the mainstream speakers which require a placement position some distance from the walls. This way pressumably works better at creating a 3D sound stage. Corner speakers are generally good in such a way that a sound field is reproduced to make the listeners immerse in the music but are probably not a strong candidate for holographic imaging

[@badGamr]

@@ELM804 Fair enough :)
