25 % tariff from the EU to US?
Probably somewhere around there but these are already shipped last week thankfully.

Sigh , my side a few dealers already exploit this tariffs and up the $$ .
Drove a few hours today to pick them up. They replace ATC 19s.
Setup was straightforward and I was fortunate to dial their positioning in beautifully on first attempt. Must say the walnut veneers are quite beautiful.
Initial impressions is a beautifully balanced sound. Refined but also right there with Naim on the leading edge of the beat almighty. Very fun. Loads and loads and loads of PRaT.
Best part was listening for 3.5 hrs straight with no listening fatigue and only having to stop because of pesky problems like hunger and sleep.

Not exactly practical or very homely mind you…
I just got this update on my hifi unit. Soon I will be able to post some new system pics.

How do they sound vs what you used previously? And what did you use previously?

I heard some of these a few weeks ago and was very impressed. In the brief time that I heard them, I felt they were back to Linn’s best (Briks, Saras and Kans). Liked them a lot, congrats on the purchase.

Tyr 2 before this. No way the tyr 2 comes near . , the tyr2 is already a very good cable with wow mid range . But this Valhalla 2 , it’s on another plane
It’s very very clean , ultra transparent, lightning fast , very airy, deep , very controlled . Huge soundstage .. very sweet , very easy to listen to, very buttery .
I am only 1 hour into it .
