I am a music lover who has a tenacious appetite for sampling many different stereo components. Like any chef, I am always changing my ingredients, adding and taking away pieces which ultimately alters a tried and true recipe. This is a journey as much as a hobby. One week I may have first year released speakers, the next week I am living with some 1970's vintage gear. I learn something from each piece I bring in my living space. There is well deserved skepticism in Hifi. My goal is to share my knowledge and experience with new and aspiring audiophiles. I don't deal in absolutes, so purists will not like my attitude!
Ask me questions, let me know if there is something I've already owned and you are curious if it would work for you.
Independent, no sponsors, no BS, just a guy and his ever changing stereo system. Feel free to pm me, I'm happy to help with gear or set up questions.
Happy listening!

Arylic H50 Network Integrated Amplifier; Setting real expectations for under $399
Review of the Arylic H50 Multi-Room network integrated amplifier. I bought it for my secondary system in a bedroom/office environment.
The best streaming results were via Ethernet using Tidal Direct.
Wifi Network with the 4Stream app was excellent compared to cheap streamers of a couple years ago and even a slight improvement over the S50 Pro+ I have on hand thanks to the updated Sabre chip. BT works well, no complaints, no drop outs operating within 30 ft of the unit.

I like your channel! Thanks for the information and I agree with your indictment of the spec fetishists.
How do these sound compared to BMR Philharmonics? I play rock mostly…
Say what you want about Eric Alexander, but the Lores really can't be beaten in the sub-$1500 category. They beat a lot of $2000-3000 speakers.
hi jason...hope all is well...of all the speakers I've watched you review and trying many brands I've settled on a pair of vintage Tannoy Berkeley's and using them with an original Dynaco ST70 EL34 tube amp to drive them...I'm happy but really my mind is set on getting a pair of Tannoy Arden mk1...in the mean time selling off my Spendor S100...thanks to you for always keeping everything real...one of the few on CZcams!😁🎶
Your opinion on subwoofer integration makes sense. Didn’t know I felt the same way till you said it.
I really enjoyed your review. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you 🙏
Do you have these for sale currently on US audio Mart?
Nope, those are my former pair however. Good acquaintance of mine is selling them. 👍
@@2ChannelListening why are you selling them? I thought they sounded great on your video 😊
Loved the video, I was thinking about an ascend setup for movies. Since emotiva is always sold out. Any thought for ascend for movies with bookshelves?
It’s always about space and budget. Ascend makes a HT line. If your tight on space but want the punch, they a great line. Aperion audio is also a worthy consideration for dual purpose listening.
thx for this video ! still around ? how about a update? i love this would be good for rear, surround for 11.1 ? HT ( but pricy ) ! but now his HTtowers still have the scan speak eh ? so are we talking non compatible ? would be pretty pricy HT towers $4.5 K these $2K X6 what do i do for the ATMOS speakers ? and why is the C chanell using tiny drivers? BOOO ! are they made w/ uigher chi-com slave labor ? can't i just get a cheap finish basic black like pickup truck bed material ! LOL SERIOUSLY ! can't we have sealed speakers w/NO damn port ? hate them !
I HAVE BMR MONITORS AND LOVE THEM. Like them better than my B & W 703s and Monitor Audio Silver 8s. Overall more versatile for more types of music than my Maggie LRSs. Beautiful to look at as well. Amqzing for the bucks. Sold the B&W 703s!
Enjoy!
Can you explain the subsonic filter set up. I have this amp and im curious as to what these are and do for the system.
The JBL Synthesis 1400 array were an amazing set of speakers.
How would they compare to the bronze 100 which are half the price?
Super❤❤❤❤
EMI DLS-1 studio monitors with tube amps on their base is the first and only one that I can remember doing that before ADS… zozosir.blogspot.com/2015/01/emi-dls1.html?m=1 I have a pair of the DLS 529 and they absolutely sound amazing…
ive had kef 104/2 since 1986 any other speakers just dont do it for me ...
What’s the damping factor on the orchard?
I want one! I hope to save enough to buy one soon, the only dig I can take at it is missing wood blocks on the side. Dolled up with some stained pretty wood blocks on each side, its appearance would DEFINITELY be more commanding of the price.
Excellent review. What our your thoughts on their cheaper offerings. I am a low SPL listener that loves sensitive speakers. Favorites are the JBL Studio 590's so far. Is there much difference in the lower wattage offerings of Orchard compared to their flagship ?
Your attention to detail in reviewing this speaker is impeccable. I greatly appreciate photographing those drivers and cross over. Giving us detailed views of it. Thanks.
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching.
12:01, 9:07
EPI 100 (my favorite speakers). Same idea as the Totems. Human Speakers can build you some.
I've been using Braun LS100's since 1986. They are still my daily drivers. I love them. I'll be extremely sad if they ever fail.
What stand mount speaker would be a step up from the BMR, up to $5K?
Hi great video. David, London UK. I've always had AR speakers. Started with AR6 in 1973. Then the AR162 (top of the Spirit range) a fantastic speaker very forward and impressive. Great for classical and jazz. Then the AR91 and AR90 good all-rounders. Got a pair of AR12s made in UK at their factory here specially for one of the managers then with matching AR stands.. Mint cabinets but needed new grills. The original foam grills just perished. The tweeters fine. Mids are ferro-fluid which can dry up and be a problem. Both units are unique to this single model and are virtually impossible to replace. The mid can be rebuilt with a new surround but it is a very tricky job though I managed to do it! The original owner had changed the woofer to a non-AR woofer which is a BIG MINUS. I am looking for a pair of 10" AR woofers suitable for the AR12s. Presumably this was done when the surrounds crumbled. He should have restored them, but who did then? These produce a big sound with an exceptionally transparent midrange ideal for instrumental music or voice. I would say more suited to classical less suited to rock or pop. A good recording sings on these speakers - as with the AR162s. I must be one of thecfew people who own these AR12s in the UK. They had only one previous owner who was a manager at the AR factory. They came with all the original brochures, delivery notes, internal factory notes and memos invoices etc plus the matching stands. The midrange restoration kits and replacement grills (which are cloth not as nice or chic as the original crumbly black foam ones) I got from AR Vintage on Ebay in USA. There are mid and high switches on the back which work fine. I didn't do any work on the cross overs which is where an enthusiast would start. They sound OK to me. A failing capacitor usually dulls the sound or introduces hum in equipment and these speakers actually sparkle so no problem there! Mission objective - the legendary AR9s! But I'd need a new house with a concert room to put them in!😅 All best David, subscribed and carry on doing the great videos!
Thanks for sharing those sound samples! Sounded terrible to my ears/taste. Maybe it's the very reflective room acoustics or the speakers themselves. My interest in the Zu speakers is suddenly no longer there...
. I'd really love to know where to find stands for my 1590 II's...like you are showing here.
These were custom built by a prior owner, they are unidentifiable unfortunately. Good luck with the hunt.
Thank you.
How are the Fyne 501's at low- to extremely low volumes? I hear a lot of great things about them but I rarely listen above 70dB and in my experience some speakers need a bigger kick in the backside to get them going.
WHERE CAN I FIND THOSE STANDS ? Please... Very nice discourse. Thank you. I used to sell ads back in the mid '80's and bought the 1590 II's at "salemans accommodation" (wish I got rosewood!) . Still have them, still love them. I never found them overly bright, unlike say Canton, for example. One of my speakers did begin to sound dull, so i sent all the domes and the crossovers out to be serviced (ferrofluid, caps...) You rightly state the importance of Amp and source. Im presently using Adcom 565 monoblocks for roughly 500w per side, sourced by Audio Research sp-9 mk3. Yeah, a real classic rig :) You can't beat the depth and control offered by high power, combined with softness and 3D offered by a few tubes in the chain. But especially the power...I'd strongly recommend a big Amp to anyone interested in these. Oh, 200s, 300s, 400s, 300s in-wall, 570s, M12s, too :)
Listening with the grills on muffles the sound.
I owned the Heco when it use to be sold at Audio Advice. I liked it quite a bit. Had it connected to a Nuprime Ida 8 integrated amplifier. Great combo. THEN......I got ahold of a basically brand new pair of the Aperions. HOLY MOLY WOW!! Night and day difference. Smokes the Heco with every aspect. Maybe the Heco can compete in the Highs. But everything else has the Aperions tanking the Hecos. I did put some $$ into the Aperions as far as some no rez and a friend did up the crossover with very expensive sonic caps etc. That upgrade set me back $300 per speaker. He knows more than me about that aspect. Now it competes with my Canton References. Probably better. And those cost me $5k. But bone stock it blows the Hecos out of the water
Greetings. Nice demo. i have a similar unit Carina 300. what gain did you experience in interchanging those filters? I'm still learning the unit but I'm trying to unleash the 300 watts of power the amp has.
hi my friend...thx for another great video...I 'm actually in the hunt for a pair of the Original Tannoy Ardens or Tannoy Super Reds...✌️...
Hmmm. I like cheese. Cheesy absorbant pads, and cheesy x-over. Yum! But wait, no ferrous speaker posts? Aw, c'mon, Aperion! Could be a deal breaker! 😂🤣 Thanks fer the review! 🍺
Danny Richie, GR Research, worst speakers he measured xD
I have the 5 XD's! And all i can say is....they are fantastic!
Buy an amp with tone controls + 2 speakers!!!
I have a 300 dollars pair of Dali Spektor 2. Absolutely the speakers to beat in that price range. and higher... I trust Dali and think they are n. 1.
Find me a midrange driver that goes as low in frequency with as low a mass and as high a magnetic gauge as that huge ADS dome mid driver. That aspect alone gives the ADS mids a resolution akin to electrostatics.
Hi! Revolution 3 are no longer available in my area, I found Celan GT302 instead, which seem to have the same specifications. Is it an older model or...? Do you have any ideea?
Not familiar with that model at all.
@@2ChannelListeningOK, thank you!
Harbeth Super HL5 Plus XD I GOT IN AUSTRALIA FOR 7800AUD, BRAND NEW!! THEY SOUND EXCELLENT!
Congratulations, enjoy!
Hi, where did you find it?
Before you got just a little in explaining..I was thinking that you know specs
I much rather take the Vandersteen Treo. It is expensive (compared with Vandersteen 1, 2 and 3) but still way more cheap than Avalon. Since 50-60% of a normal high end loudspeakers price has to do with the enclosure (and the veneer finish), which is the reason Vandersteens 1, 2 and 3 are so cheap since they don’t have any fancy box and veneer, and all Avalons have a very complicated box I must say that when you buy a pair of Avalons you pay for 70-80% the box and 20-30% the sound.
I bought these a week ago for 1000 euro, they are absolutely amazing. I tested the low end and it player around 30hz, so not sure what those specs are about. They produce more bass then my previous Spektor 6 tower speakers.
Where did you buy them..
@@roybrolsbeakI bought them used
@@roybrolsbeak Hi, I thought I replied but maybe it didn't go through. I bought these used on an online used market in Ireland. No way you can find them for this price new.
@@Cantatos no not for a 1000 but i can get them for 1200 new. would you say the bass can be overwhelming sometimes? i have this with my oberon 5s a lot and dont want to experience it again.
@@roybrolsbeak Nice that's cheap. There is nothing overwhelming on these speakers, but I have a Marantz SR6015 with a lot of features to improve the sound. But I also have these running with a DALI E-12 F Subwoofer. There are a lot of reasons it can be overwhelming. The speakers are too close to the wall, no Acoustic treatment or the amp-dac combo isn't great or bad settings like loudness etc. These speakers have a lot of Bass but its pleasant and fast bass, not boomy or overwhelming but again it all depends on a lot of factors. I wouldn't blame the speakers (or even the Oberon 5's) if they are too much.
T225 mayfair
So 4 mistakes that I know and see now to make them better thanks
Recently bought this amp. I have a pair of speakers connected to the A Zone and a pair connected to the B Zone. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to control the output and volume for Zones A & B independently. I either get sound from all 4 speakers or none. What am I missing??
I absolutely loved the history you added in the review and in such an interesting and humorous manner
Steely Dan sold over 40 million albums because nothing made them exceptional? I was an FM hi-fi listening teen in the 1970's, and Steely Dan was everywhere. I got so sick of their hits that it took until just the last few years for me to want to listen to their albums as albums, and they are enjoyable from start to finish. But thanks for looking at Naim stuff. I've had Naim in my life since 1995 and am running a Name NAIT XS2 integrated amp right now.
Is there sound test comparison???
