We went over to a freinds house with the following setup for an audition:

CD: Naim cd5
pre amp: Self made passive preamp with step volume.
Power amp: Again self made, tube stuff, some 10W per channel.
Speakers :
http://www.avantgarde-acoustic.de/ho...o&produkt_id=3



Now, I put on my "reference" cd the Buena Vista Social Club with Ry
Cooder. Took the CD remote in hand, went over to the couch, sat down and
pressed play!

The weirdest thing happened. Out of the blue, between my listening
position and the speakers there appeared this waiter kind of a guy with
tray in hand, stiff, upright posture, penguin black tie tux, a snotty
british accent and all. As the music played the guy kept plucking
individual sounds of instruments from those big horns, putting them on
his service tray and offering them to me, bending slightly, muttering
things like "Here sir, have some contrabass" or "Would you care for some
distinct, isolated, separated saxophone sound, sir". He would sometime
even go to extreme lengths of silver-lining these sounds before
presenting them to me.

T'was the weirdest experience! Not that I would like to listen to my
music that way.

The qualities of the homebrew amps aside, it probably wasn't a good idea to
pair a very upfront-sounding CD player with very, very, very upfront-sounding
speakers.

Not a realistic image. Some obvious distortion.
An English waiter doesn't wear black tie and dinner jacket,
so he can not be mistaken for a guest.
Typical foreign speakers!

I was just trying to make the point about those speakers that you have
to hear these them to beleive them.

The owner of the speakers is very happy with what he's got. When someone
plucks a a string you can hear the echo of the snap of the clang of the
pluck, as it were, with these speakers. And he likes that, he *prefers*
that. I like it that my speakers *become* music, and there is a coherent
togethersness to the sound, though a reasonable amount of detail should
be there.

Now that combination is the preference of the friend we visited. When
someone plucks a string he likes to hear the echo of the clang of the
snap of the pluck.

Though I think a reasonable amount of neutrality and detail is necessary
I like it that speakers should become music, sort of go through a
metamorphosis, when you listen to them, not that they relay ALL detail
possible.
