When u said 10 thousand I went for a cuppa and watched a movie instead haha

I'll need to reconsider these due to your review. Thanks!

I've always liked the Proac brand, but I would prefer an 8" driver for the money!

On the off-chance someone from Proac is reading this: "magnetic grills". Please. Those holes are so so ugly.

I was taken by the look of this cabinet. At an estimated cost of 11500.00 US ? HDF cabinet. Highest quality internals, One transducer, one tweeter in its configuration, Veneer. As a person who understands the build complexities of a perfect cabinet, With the knowledge of speaker prices plus crossovers. The cost of high end veneer? You are trying to tap a market of people above my pay grade.

Ribbons can't play low enough to cross over to a 6" inch driver properly, it's a bad design, directivity is probably terrible

Thank you for the review..How is the midrange ? Are they good for low volume listening?

Great to have you back, Rohit! I actually called Rob (twice) to make sure you were okay. You've been missed.

Nice review. These are my dream speakers. I just love the Proac sound. How do these compare to the D20R's that you reviewed awhile ago?

I have Rega Brio with Apollo CD-player. What do you think: will I notice an improvement in sound quality by replacing Brio with Elex Mk4, or is the difference only when playing at high volume? My speakers are KEF R500.

Good to see you’re back.

How goes it.

Great review, wonderful presentation. I need to subscribe to your channel for sure!

Details of the sound should be explained in the context of which amp was being used. It is odd to hear the descriptions when you said you used 3 amps. I'm sure they all cant sound the same. More useful would be how they sounded with each amp. I have an amp and am considering these so that would be the info I would need for myself. Great review and good info. Thx!

Great review. What are your thoughts in comparing the sound quality with the Rega Aethos. Thank you

I have a 2018 serial number of this new. Matched with a Nagaoka MP-200 and it sounds outstanding. Bettter than my 1200 MK7!!! People who hate this table haven’t heard it with a good cart. The ones 2016 or older had the tone arm bearing issues. Also put a thick mat from a SL-1200GR2 mat and the PLX performs!

Have you heard the Borresen X2's or X3? I wonder if they are similar.

Very nice review! Thanks for sharing.

How well would these pair with an amplifier like Emotiva BasX A2?

Do the new styli fit my old cartridge AT 11E?

I am just watching this now, Nov 2024. I've just bought the Audiolab 8300A&8300CDQ along with the B&W 707s3. Not broken in speakers fully yet, but very impressed with my new set up so far.

I like your reviews but comparing Elex R to the Elex MK4 is meaningless unless you use the same Dac.. It just doesn't make any sense.

This Aphelion2 will be my next carton my P10 after my Apheta3 worns out.

HI,I can't decide between these 3 speakers, can you help me which is the best option: ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE309 or REVEL Concerta2 F35 or KEF Q750! Thanx

Why do all the reviews say the mk4 "doesn't have enough power?" What is that supposed to mean? And that it heats up a lot.

I have the Cambridge axr85 and the Yamaha as501, and I'm certain these 2 have a similar comparison and are really too different for any sort of comparison and more about personal preference. To me, it's like comparing a performance auto and a luxury auto in the same price range, both are good at what they are intended to do with that being 2 different things.

JBL Stage A130 or klipsch for denon 600 ?

I'm thinking of upgrading my P2 with a P6. I use an AT-VM540ML and a Fono MM Mk5.

I find digital has more clarity. My music is fed through the qed reference optical into the as301 and sounds sublime.

Hey man, you're awesome! This is the only Chord Prima video review! Thanks for this!

II too have the Shelter 901 iii. I started out with the 501 ii about 18 years ago when I began my transition to MC cartridges. Previous I had a Grado Platinum with my VPI Mk iv with an SME IV arm. At the same time I got an Eastern Electric Minimax which I have upgraded and am I very satisfied with. I was floored by the dramatic difference in natural sound and vastly improved articulation of the Shelter and Minimax versus my Grado and mm phono stage. Later I got the 501 iii, and then upgraded to the 901 ii. The Shelter cartridges were quite difficult to source in USA since only Axis and one unpleasant and fancy pants dealer in Chicago sold them. I found a fantastic grey market dealer in HK. who sells sewing machines and from whom I have purchased about a half dozen carts and also my SME arm. Finally I bought a Shelter 901 iii since I lucked into an identical VPI Mk IV table with the TNT platter, SME arm, and standalone motor for an exceptional price. The living room table has the 901 ii with a JLTI and my main set has the 901 iii. In the mean time I got an Airy 3 which was a horrible match for my arm. I am thrilled with the Shelter cartridge with my SME arm and I highly recommend it. I also advise or caution cartridge buyers to carefully research tonearm/cartridge compatibility since I found some cartridges simply don't perform well with some arms and some do. FYI: I do use a sort of spacer since the Airy had a silver spacer they sell for $100. I took a 1964 dime and sanded it smooth, drilled a couple of tiny holes for mounting, and am all set. This adds a small mass to the head of the tonearm. I also played with Frank Van Alstine's old Grado stabilizer bar, and found some improvement but chose to not use it for its lack of convenience.

They look very cool and up-to-date.

I love Audio Technica products (AT cartridges + studio microphones). The build quality and design is so beautiful. AT is not only a brand for me - it's a part of my life for sure.

How would you compare these with the 109 mkii?

The PLX1000 tonearm is 2mm SHORTER than the Technics. Therefor some shorter headshell that fit Technics won't fit PLX1000. This also means that Ortofon Concorde cartridges won't be long enough for certain alignment.

Main drawback is push button type controls, which i so not like.

Have you thought of using external step-up transformers with LOMC cartridges? I'm using Lundahl LL1941's with an Ortofon MC-20 LOMC with excellent results.

I will drive 4olm all day. Trust me lol.

I own both of those amps along with about a dozen more. The Yamaha will blow the Cambridge away hands down. I also have dozens of speakers and never did the Cambridge come close to the yamaha. The Cambridge axa35 is just plain dull and lifeless compared to the Yamaha. That Yamaha is the best bang for the buck amp you can buy for the price. It doesn't compare to my Hegel or Mcintosh amps but for the price... no brainer.

Hi Rohit, got my Rega Brio a year ago based on your review, planning to get a a used pair of PSB Imagine B speaker with a 4ohm impedance and 87db sensitivity. Can the Brio drive these speakers?

Been a big fan of the MP110 for about ten years now. Wonderful cartridge, and increased my listening experience enormously after years of entry level old Audio Technicas. Recently acquired a used MP 500 with stylus in good condition for $25 ann I’m completely blown away!

Thanks for the review. 6000A does not support Roon, on top of everything else you mentioned.

Hi, I saw your review and also the DT8 review. I can't test both at home so i would like you to help deciding which to buy, for a solid state amp. I like the clarity of D20 but there's still something on the dt8. Maybe it's because my ears don't process low frequencies as a normal ear, and it has more bass. Please give me some words...thank you

Rega all the way ... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 MADE IN ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You must learn to not to cmack when you talk

I have these speakers, I used them with amplifiers like pass labs int-60, naim supernait 3, sugden A21SE Signature, denon pma-sa1, luxman L-550AX, leben cs-600, unison research tiriode 25, audio analogue maestro and they sound great.

Would you choose this over the audiolab 9000a

Your linn needs setting up properly

What dB of gain do you think is necessary for the Aphelion 2. I’ve been using the Sutherland Insight and I’m wondering if the 60dB top setting will be enough for that cartridge.

Many reviewers have stated that the Rega Kyte’s are bass light.
