Thank you for a comprehensive review of this amazing equipment! My P5 and S5 will be driving my Magnepan 2.7 x speakers. Just wanted to make sure it was okay to stack my P5 on top of my S5 amplifier

One thing I don't like is the rear input cup for speaker cables. Looks cheap compared to the rest of the speaker look.

What material is the tweeter compression driver made out of?

Speaking of the Krell HTS with it's outstanding pre-amp, iam also drooling for the Krell KRC-HR or the KBL, so I have a hard time. So please help me out

Fantastic review. What do you think if I use the S5 with a Marantz Cinema 50 or 30 as a preamp? Will that be inferior, sound quality wise, compared to the P5?

Great video. I have the HTS 7.1 and S1200- both awesome units. I hope to acquire a 707 one day.

Thanks for the video! I recently picked up a DVD standard and a non functioning Krell showcase processor. I'll definitely get the showcase repairwd and make use it in my system

Very good to see review. How well do these speakers present jazz, rock, and classical?

Hey Nimrod and Theresa, excellent review! One question: do you hear hiss noise from the P5/S5 combo? Have you paired the P5 with another amplifier and noticed any siginificant hiss? I have read comments from acouple of other P5/S5 owners who complained about the loud hiss noise from P5.

Could you share your thoughts about the Modwright LS100 which was in your video but you aint talked about

Hello how would the parasound jc1+ compare to the michi s5

Thanks for the great reviews and for sharing your experience!

Thanks for the very interesting review!

Where can i get the stands in UK?

As usual... Wonderful.. You haven't uploaded new videos..

wonderful.. Thank you.

Fantastiše

Hello , i would like to buy Zingali quantum array 2.8. Can you tell something about theirs sound ?

The sixes? Don't you mean the Sevens?

Thanks for showing your Krell processors! Have you ever tried a Goldpoint passive preamp for 2 channel listening?

Dear Sir, does this amplifier have a built-in DAC or in case I buy it I have to use a separate DAC?

Hello, why you do not let us listen your cnice combination system ? you talk to much man !! Regards

How did this combo compare to you with the new Classe Delta Pre/Amp combo?

Uf. They used low budget capacitors😳 For a speaker that cost 5000 eur I expected more.

Unfortunately made in China.

I hope this little review of mine helps someone... As I just installed the latest XPA-DR2 into my system. I have a first generation XPA-2 that I have owned since 2008. I have had a few amps through my system and always wind up "breaking the glass" and grabbing my old XPA-2. Well, I finally found an amplifier that I can now say the old XPA-2 can go into retirement. My other choices were the ATI and Parasound brands, both at twice the cost. I have a pretty simple system, Pi2 Mercury V2 streamer, Denafrips Venus II 12th DAC, Denafrips Athena preamp, XPA-DR2, a pair of SVS SB-3000 subs and a pair of KLH Model 5 speakers. I listen to mainly Blues and classic rock. At first, the DR2 was a bit warm, very boomy on the bass and not so great in the midrange. Then after about an hour, the veil was lifted and everything really started to smooth out. I am not an "Audiophile", I drive a truck for a living, this audio stuff is a hobby of mine, I am not a pro reviewer but am trying my best here. First off... What I noticed was how well the DR2 is able to separate the instruments. I was hearing instruments in recordings that I knew were there when I listened. With the DR2 those instruments are now there, there is no question like, "Did I just hear...?". It really cleans up in that regards, very detailed in its delivery, with no harshness or glare. It is a crisp sound, not Class D crisp, but A/B crisp like you will find in much more expensive amplifiers. Then the bass, very good delivery, it was boomy at first, the bass was very pronounced and muddy, I had to dial back my two SB3000 subs as the Model 5's were now night and day in that department, and not in a good way. After around a half hour or so the bass settled down, now we are talking, very clean in the delivery, faster, it hit harder and faster. I like this, and I did not need to dial the subs back up, but actually down a DB or two. The DR2 really delivers in the bass department. You can hear the roll off where I believe the producer wanted it, and in other tracks, where they did not. A very neutral and honest amplifier in regards to the bass as she burns in. Midrange, the human voice, fingers on the guitar strings, etc. Everything is vastly cleaner and clearer. Right along with the bass, once it settles in the sound is very true to what I believe the producer/artist was trying to convey. The added details the DR2 brings out of the recordings is just the icing on the cake. Same with the highs, no harshness, it is definitely not dry, it is simply a nice smooth delivery. The sound is very pleasant to listen to, like it should be. Now, the 800 pound gorilla in the room, Amir over at Audio Science Review. He reviewed the DR2 when it first came out, and basically killed it out of the gate with his distortion nonsense, that is not audible in the least when the power supply is doing its thing. That review held me back from purchasing this amp for a few years. I did some searching around and finally found some reviews from folks that actually own and use this amp, and they were all positive. I took a gamble and purchased mine with the 30 day no question return for my money back. Amir did Emotiva a huge disservice with that review. I cannot see paying twice the money for another amplifier, to my ears and my gear, I am at the point of diminishing returns. If you are looking at this amp, and have decent gear and speakers, I would seriously consider giving the XPA-DR2 a serious look. You have 30 days to audition. Mine is staying.

Would be nice to have little pauses in speech. I guess that is where you cut the video. But at it is it can get annoying. Also I would like to hear not only your thought about sound but your wife’s thoughts as well. Give her some room. Or do it by yourself and give it another name.

What I love about the M2s is that they combine the raw power and impact of a good PA system along with a very refined frequency response. Their controlled directivity makes in-room performance more predictable than most other speakers. Room placement and acoustic treatment will, of course improve the experience even more.

Updated: The Freya+ can ship stock with Tung sol 6sn7GTB, which are a big improvement over the original China made tubes. People have gotten even better results with Electro harmonix, sylvania, GE and PS vane tubes.

Thanks for the review i just received a pair of the sixes and am wondering can i plug a Tascam cassete deck into the line in and run it without further amplification

Good evening from Brittany, France. Thanks a lot for your review and your informations. Very interesting. I have contact with French distributor for these bookshelf speakers (Zingali Zero 6M). I use to listen a lot of inspirating music ! Contemporary Jazz, Classical, opera and pop. What kind of amplifier have you used for your test and what kind of amplifier - not too expensive - could be interesting to ear with ? Thank you. My best regards.

See some reviewer from the US (...) has slaughtered these for some reason !?

Excellent

Nice amplifier and nice wife. Very supportive. Wow.

Thanks for the review! appreciate it. I have the M2's (For LCR) since 2019 and love them! everything I tested doesn't come close.

This review never tapped into the sound quality of this superb preamp. If you were using 0 gain. The key for the sound of the 326S is what gain setting did you use, 0-18db, I own this preamp, and the Mark Levinson 532H the matching amp, on 0db gain lifeless, 6db, very clean and a bit more dynamics, 12db I used for years now dynamics and more weight, kills the other settings. The last one I tried just a few days ago for the fun of it was the 12db settingl. I could not believe this was the same system on the 12db setting, so depending on where you had the 326S gain setting set or the 380S yes, one could sound much leaner than the other. I could live with the 6db gain setting but the 12db gain is the one where this preamp shines and brings music to life. )db gain is lifeless with detail only much like a passive preamp.

Hello, Sir please help. I want to increase vocals(mid) level. can we use the equaliser and can we change bass, mid, and treble with The Klipsch Control App from my one plus android mob? is there any app for Klipsch sixes? please help. can use this app for control. like this video th-cam.com/video/WhAanMd0SsQ/w-d-xo.html

I've watched your review a number of times now. Really well put together. I am currently in the market for a set of powere speakers for my living room (TV and music listening) I'm so confused between the 6s,7s and 9s. If you've had a chance to listen to the other 2, I would appreciate your recommendation. Best wishes. Shaz

The elephant remains in the room. You paid all that money so you are compelled to like them.

18 sound Chassis. 1" Titanium driver.12nlw 9300. 700€+crossover. Nice solid enclosure.

Thank Nimod for a great review. And a big thanks to Roy for making all our life better with making these products. I am in a very fortunate position to have just about a pair of each in the range and find them just incredible, with the 10.2 elevating to another dimension or dare I say galaxy! These speaker are both fabulous and forgiving at the same time. And then the man behind it all is a gentleman and to a lot of us a superhero. I have experienced new sounds in old and very much listened to music. New dimensions to the sound that has never been heard before. Thanks for making everyone's life better in one way or antoher.

When you took out the horn and woofer were they using wood screws or nuts and threaded bolts so you can take on and off without stripping the screw holes?

This is the best review for Formation Duo, really informative and helpful! Thanks man

Thank you Audio Couple for this relistic review, I concur 101% with your ear's findings. The Sonor Audio Claro 10.2s is one of the most captivating speakers I have ever experienced. They are just absolutely Wow, and honest to the utmost. I can try to explain the performance, like with a 911 or a Tesla, but you must experience this for yourself, as you did Audio Couple. Finish is typical Sonor, superb. Sound is unbelievably awesome, goose bumps. Thank you Sonor Audio for this creation, definitely your best to date. And thanks to you Audio Couple, for re affirmation of the Sonor Claro 10.2s.

Hi Fantastic Couple please tell me what should I get here in Australia the Michi P5 for $6k or the Krell 707 EVO processor/preamp( NO 3D ) for $10K and the intention is to use it as 2 channel only please help me as I need make an offer soon?..... honestly I think that the Krell is a little bit over price as most of those inputs aren't comparable anymore with todays formats!is becoming useless but please tell me which one sounds better when using the pre amp 2 Chanel thanks I like to make the purchase soon.Thanks

Thank you Nimrod and Teresa for a genuine and honest review. You have managed to accurately describe my own experience of living with the Claro 10.2’s. As my daily speaker, they have allowed me to experience music that I thought I knew very well, at a whole new musical level - music just makes sense! ‘Stuff’ that was previously musically inaccessible, is a joy to experience. Thank you to Roy from Sonor Audio for a masterclass creation.

Thanks to Nimrod and Teresa for the review!

No speaker that I have heard in my 30 odd years in the business turns me on quite like the Claro 10.2's! They literally tick all the 'music lover' and 'audiophile' boxes. Looking at their sheer size, one expects to be overwhelmed, but no, play something delicate and the presentation is exquisite, or play a 64' organ note and the air around you vibrates with the force of the energy. Sonor Audio have always designed speakers that involve the listener in the performance, but the 10.2's take this to the next level entirely. Anyone considering speakers in the +- USD18k range MUST audition these, there will be tears if you don"t!

Fantastic detailed review thank you so very much, what a speaker hey!

This women is real loving you👍🏻😉
