I am not sure if the Allaes are staying yet. But this pairing so far is most compelling. I get a kick out of Single Ended Triode amplifiers driving the Naim speakers so well. This was a lucky accident that worked.
The Briks/300/Jota (pushing my luck ) is next.
Alco & Lefty,
I have been finding out that the Allaes are highly capable speakers.
They are somehow overlooked or not very liked in the States. But I am realising now that they are one of the few relatively easy to drive fast dynamic speakers.
The only thing is that they are fussy in terms of upstream component and placement.
I knew you were going to ask me that.P.S. Do the Allaes and SL2s hold up OK pitch-wise against the briks?
They just put an emphasis in different places, sort of. ( Great! it's an EQ thrown in for free! )
I have to say no. The voicing on the both the Allaes and SL2 are vastly different from the Briks in that not sure if it's even fair to compare.
But the reason I wanted to put the Briks back in here is because I haven't had that *magic* ( you know what it is ) since they left in spite there are many other things that both Allaes and SL2 do much better than the Briks.
Sure is. It was a light-on moment for this round earther as i was told from many that they are *horrible*.Funny isn't it... a thirty-year-old design based (I figure) on mechanics more than acoustics and they (DMS) still do things modern designs can't even hint at.
I've got a backup pair in the vault for parts;-)
It was a blessing in disguise you did not own them.
Ah.. cool. You've got an organ doner lined up already.
