      Hi, @jamesmathews thank you for the feedback and your inquiry. I had several viewers also asking the same question. It is not the ideal situation to have them directly on top of one another, but in general, you will not find any performance problems by having them stacked. I had them stacked for the review making it easier to discuss the various features and specifics associated with each component. In the long run, it will be best to have them physically separated. Enjoy the music.

    • @TheAudioCouple
      @TheAudioCouple 6 місяців тому

      Hi @dragonstone, thank you for the feedback and inquiry much appreciated. Yes, the P5 is a very good companion for the S5 as stated in the review. The Marantz Cinema 30, as well as the Cinema 50 will also deliver exceptional results however they may not be as well matched as the P5 (precision and articulation). Depending on your loudspeakers and your sound signature preferences the Marantz Cinema 30 or 50 could well be just what you wanted, presumably using the processor in a surround system setup. In stereo mode the P5 will have an edge or will give you extended performance.

    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.

    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.

Surprisingly, the Emotiva produce a very musical palette. So the Emotiva comes highly recommended as the synergy is just amazing...however if you prefer a warmer presentation, the Quad 909 also gave a good overall performance. Valve based amplifier designs would also work well, but higher than 10 watts per channel is recommended.

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.

      Thank for sharing your insights and experiences. If not mistaken the gain was in the 0dB setting, basically due to my balanced DAC having a good (high) analog output level already. If I have another opportunity to have the 326S in my system, I will try the other gain settings.

    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

      Hi Michael thank you for your feedback. We all have our specific journeys related to the overall improvement or enjoyment of music reproduction. I still enjoy the M2's they offer reproduction performance that few other loudspeakers can imitate. If you have the opportunity to have a listen or a demo - I encourage you to do so.

    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.

    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

      Hi Robert thank you for your inquiry. It basically comes down to your loudspeakers. If they are a bit forward sounding...go with Michi. If your loudspeakers need some serious drive the Krell will be best.

      @@TheAudioCouple but don't you think 10k is too much money for using only 2 channel reproduction considering the size, its old, no digital formats capability can not even use balance subs when is use as 2 channel for music only (please correct me if I'm wrong).. I hear Krell has a good sound but I was very sad when the salesman was giving me a demo and suddenly realise he was running an external DAC and he refused to use it without it! then I ask what are you hiding? so please Couple tell me Is the sound alone of Krell 707 EVO worth $10K Australian,$8K US ? for only music reproduction?

      @@robertrevelo1624 If you can get the Krell at below 10k let's say 7k it will be an excellent buy. The sound from the Krell is fantastic is you have decent power amplifiers and loudspeakers. The Krell is intended for large scale implementation. Thus for larger rooms...but will be equally perform well in medium size rooms. The performance of the Krell is still reference class even in today's market.

    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.
