NEW streamer and music server review: Aurender A200
i am considering those speakers with the nad 399, any experience with this combo?
Borreson makes trash speakers
Please review burmester 032 :)) IS it better then Gryphon Diablo 120?
🤣🤣love the opening rant..! True that..!
Excellent analysis. I have a question: Some of the Aurender models have a headphone jack
Borat
Are you voiceover the guy from the video?
and also the author )
@ i noticed mouth speech was incorrect,thanks for reply And which amp is best for opticons mk2?
I'll tell you with the little be but of dislike of klipsch product speakers they make pretty darn good speakers with solid craftsmanship from years of quality made materials they are still beloved regardless of the latest trend of speaker line out there that coming from other places that maybe good and all but klipsch is still going on strong and will for years to come or else they wouldn't be in business still.
Please make a video about burmester 032 :) This is the Diablo biggest competitor.
I think making a fine mesh grill which was mostly transparent would be a good idea, though personally because I'm a klutz I do keep the grills on except for when I'm planning to have someone over then I care more about the look.
An excellent design, but expensive to manufacture. For example, the power supply is at the rear and the pre amplifier is at the front, which a large, heavy, metal shield in the middle of the cabinet to separate the two. Exactly the same result can be achieved by simply having an external power supply, feeding pure DC into the preamplifier itself. Then, for someone who only ever intends to use a MM cartridge, they will be buying a lot of unnecessary additional technology. I have tried a great many phono preamplifiers and I consider that the basic Project Phono MM pre amplifier is as good as any. It uses two stages, just as this one does, an FET stage to connect to the cartridge, with all of its advantages and then a regular op amp for the main gain. It has one of the best RIAA equalisation curves of any phono pre amplifier. If you can find one of the early models, with AC input, then it is preferable, since the DC version uses an internal DC to DC converter to produce the -ve supply, which can introduce some hash and noise. It costs about £35. I have compared it with an EAR 834 valve stage and consider it superior.
Thanks for a nice comparison. What can you say about Pylon Jade 20 vs Klipsch Heresy IV?
Nice review. I have the RP-600m II, and mostly agree. The best thing with this Klipsch Reference Premiere line is that the clarity and detail is there, so if you are treble sensitive the high frequencies will simply be being reduced to your comfort level via EQ, and not boosted (and thus not pushed to distortion attempting to reveal details other speakers cannot do). The mids and staging are otherwise quite good on these, but there is also 2 things about the sound that are very special like this reviewer mentioned. 1. They are FUN without throwing out their hi-fi credentials. 2. They have low enough distortion to truly sound alive and [mostly] transparent in presenting a particular recording's timbre with acoustic music like jazz, classical or ambient, yet their dynamics will totally kick your ass with rock and EDM. I really like them. They have character, and it's a high quality and fun one.
i have Dali Mentor in a Souround Setup with a Denon, AVC-A11XV and it kicks ass
which amps u used w them pls
Thank you very much, you convince me! And thank you for the music suggested, great choices!
Not to mention the Aphex Twin shirt :)
Lost me as hdmi is not 2.1
Тоже купил 8000ые, пол года послушал, но потом все таки вернул BW 604 обратно.
7:25 they don't have a characteristic tube amps sound.. this the problem with commercially produced tube amps. They apply global negative feedback to keep the THD % as low as possible, because this looks good on the sales brocher and very appealing to naive commercial tube amp buyers. However, it kills the classic tube sound of warmth, organics, and weight in the music. Also, they use the cheapest and crappiest new production tubes possible.
This review is hilarious, thanks a lot! 😂
All made in China. They don’t tell you that. The remote is awful. In this price range you would think that they could produce a remote that is functional.
I correct myself on this : designed in Norway and made in China under the close supervision of a local Norwegian bureau with Hegel engineering team. This said many supposed made somewhere else are partially or fully assembled or finished in the empire of the middle. But give it a fair listen and also note that certainly this fact shaves a few thousand Euros/Dollars of the price.
Great remote. China….so what??
Because of your review, I bought a pair of Opticon 6s. WOW! WOW! WOW!! I had the superb Oberon 5s. I did not expect it, but the difference is massive. Superb speakers!!!
Eugen, have you had a chance of hearing the new version of Mira Ceti's compared to the versions you reviewed in this video?
You can never replace Aurender (any model) with your Apple products as audio streaming transport! Comparing Apple products to an audiophile brand like Aurender is irrelevant. Apple is NOT an audiophile audio specialty company but just an electronic company. In my Hi-Fi setup, 3 iPads are the only Apple products used as display remotes.
Can I use either H600 or H400 for prog rock, rock , fusion jazz and jazz music? Thanks in advance.
It will sublime every music played. A fabulous power house capable of making any kind of music live again in a close to real live concert with an utmost neutrality. Give it a 100 hours to finish running in and a pair of very capable loudspeakers to play with.Even the streamer dac part is something to write home for. Worth every penny after many comparisons of high end integrated amp dac streamer in the same price range and up to 25000€.
Just forgot to state I m speaking of the H600
Most "audiophiles" buy speakers ...then buy music they don't like to get the most out of the speakers. Makes no sense. Im all about broadening your horizens but not just to hear the spit coming out the singers mouth or them turning the pages of the lyrics while their singing. I would rather save some cash and get the model that gives you real world, everyday performance for things your do everyday...like watch TV, Play video games, and listen to low quality streaming music since physical media isn't as hot as it once was even though it's making a huge comeback. I know Im not running out and buying a record player and a bunch of albums from artist I don't really care for the music just to hear the shining parts of my speakers.
hows the imaging and sound stage?
I heard the Jades. Cracking speaker. I’m getting a pair.
Is the sound stage higher than the speakers themselves?
dont you have a stand for the yamaha ? or is tucked away for the review ?
No i dont have any, i just used some thick magazines and books to tilt them
A very interesting comparison & I agree with your final thoughts. It also confirms, that there is in fact, perfect justification for more than one set of speakers or more in the home.
The remote control sucks...
That may be the case if this is the most important thing for you.
Yes. They are great. I have been enjoying them for several months paired with a T+A Pulsar R2000AC.
I love these speakers! I cut em at 60hz. Great two channel paired with a couple subs... Great primarys for home theatre. Forward sounding Klipsch is crisp with a fair amount of low end extension while the mids are spot on...Also fantastic at lower volumes... Zero complaints! Would highly recommend. 😊
Thank you.
These speakers are so inert sometimes it can be to much, it takes away a lot of musicality from some recordings,precision can be a distraction when you get this inert,it sounds to clinical,a problem you get when you have these meca built speakers you have to be very selective what you pare them with
How and why to use preamp input ? Thanks .
I owned a Aurender W20SE and a Mac Studio. The Mac Studio blew away the much more expensive W20SE for. sound quality . Save your money and buy a Mac Studio .
Wow! I’m shocked to hear that. May I ask what equipment you are combining with the W20SE / MAC Studio?
@@TheLeicam81 Playback Designs MPD-8 DAC, Jeff Rowland 555 amp, Focal Kanta 2
Mom, I want to watch 'I am hear'. But dear why, we already have 'ia am hear' at home!
Yeah! :))
Now I’ve got an itch to hear Massive Attack on F200’s! I enjoyed the video too thanks. So listening to Massive, did you prefer the sound from the F200’s or the electrostats?
Speakers with no sound test is a no no
Which dac amp is best for the lcd mm500?
Good review! Thanks for doing it in English mate. Borzenkov will be next I hope.
ugh........ i run grills........ so someone took them out of the box
I just want to use one earphone and don't want to be tired of switching devices all the time depending on the type of music. I listen to 80% classical and 20% jazz and pop. I have also seen the mm500 so far, and I think the instrument part is quite good, and the vocals are in the front, so the female voice sounds good. Do you recommend other headphones at this level? I think the sound field of the mm500 is okay. For classical music, the instrument tone is not too modified. , the low-frequency dive is enough for jazz. I don’t know if I understand this right?
Hegel… the Chinese Viking!
Not h600
Loved your review.. I was very happy to see the Cambridge audio amps there.. how will these pair with evo 75/ 150?
i thought its the equipment that should be optimized for the music ones hears, not the other way around...
По-англицки шпарит ,как по-русски))
I hope my retirement money will allow me to buy these used (they go for around 20k EUR a pair) and pair them with Mola Mola amps. :)
Hopelessly overprized. For this money you get much more sophisticated solutions such as from Bang&Olufsen.
No comment...but, on second thought : the Hopeless One has spoken ...listen and tremble ! For he alone holds all Wisdom !
