You have a top of the range system and I am sure it sounds sublime.

My current line up of speakers plus a pair of Neat Ekstra’s in American Walnut that are out of shot to one side and a pair of Hornslet Cherry SBL’s (veneered on all four sides) that are boxed up.

I must have a fetish for transducers, I suppose there are worse addictions to have.

Amazing. And all the Naim hard up against the wall as they should. Some fetish…

Superb! What’s your favourite / pick of the collection? Heard the new Neats and they are lovely.

Do you work for Illumination Entertainment by any chance?

Is the lack of grills a deliberate choice? Or have they just disintegrated?

My favourites are the Living Voice OBX RW’s in Santos Rosewood with External Crossovers (front row outside in the pic). They sound excellent with my Audionote P3 Silver 300B amp.

Edit. After swapping my Lavender source din cable between my Naim Dac and my Nac 52 for a Sean Jacobs Silver cable I’d say that it’s brought both systems and all my speakers in that picture upto a similar level.

Interesting. They are on my ‘to hear’ list with Naim amps at some point, but wonder if that’d be a mismatch. I knew Kevin at college years ago when he was just starting out with Definitive Audio, and I remember his system of Voyd deck, Audio Innovations tube amps & Impulse H2 speakers playing Yello - it was a force of nature. All that experience I’m sure will have paid dividends in the design of those LV speakers,

I really do like the look of those speakers, I know some people don’t but if I had the money I would put them on my list. In piano gloss British racing green though. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, Naim and Living Voice would be a mismatch I think as they only need around 12 watts. Maybe an old Nait 2 might be OK.

Also I think Kevin mentioned you could do it but you might have to add a something, something to do with the Zobel Network but can’t remember what he said now.

Probably remember next week when I’ve had time to search the old memory bank.

We have to talk about the bel canto transport please.

@Rafael Okay, how can I help?

Should I buy one? Please let me have a brief review: what you like and why. This is a piece of kit that I have been following for a long time, but unable to make a decision.

And if it can be placed centrally in a Fraim without clash of the rear cables.

White lines, vision dreams of passion.
