What was the last bit of gear you bought in 2022?

Nope.

I suppose speakers are powered by electricity.

Clue number two.

Two 3m stereo pairs of Lilac Kondo KSL SPc - Copper speaker cable.

I am lucky. I thought of that because Koncio is often associated with Living Voice.
So you will associate the Allnic tubes amps with the Living Voice Avatar ?
Congrats! Well done too ! It will sound lovely.
I remember a review on Audio Beat where the reviewer found the Living Voice top speakers with Kondo electronics as the best and most incredible system he has never heard.
It costs however a billion and more.

Well Kevin at LV demo’d them with his Kondo amps (as shown in pic above) and when I got home I plugged in my Audio Note P3 silver and to my ears my amp held up very well against the superlative and rare Kondo so I’m very pleased.

I’m Lucky it’s only about an hour and a half away from me and Kevin is the most intelligent, kindest and friendliest dealer I’ve ever come across. He’s a true gentleman and he has impeccable taste in music, audio, design etc etc…

I have no doubts on that. Audionote and Kondo is quite the same quality. Shindo or Alnic would certainly work too.

Sound is mesmerizing. Puts out 20 watts with 300Bs. Can’t wait until it breaks in.

Could definitely heat up a cup of coffee. It does look a bit like a commercial espresso machine.

It looks fabulous! I have read a recent review on it on Stereophile.

Was very tempted by the ibx but feel as though I would need to change my amps and probably source. Great speakers though, I really like them
