*Hey guys! So I'm back but I wanted to get back on track by comparing some amplifiers with the Crescendo MKII Loudspeakers because these are unbelievably capable speakers that scales BIG TIME with different amplifiers!

Sounds like it got good synergy with my Galion TS A75, I need to get a pair in for review! Thanks for the mention, it was a pleasant surprise. The fact the TS A75 can tie with a $5k amp...

I own the Crescendo MKII's and use them with the Coda #8 amp,Coda 07x preamp and the Luxman D10x cd player.. This combo is truly a fantastic sounding setup that has to be heard to be believed. Highly musical with great slam,dynamics and a soundscape to die for...This is a highly deserving loudspeaker that always garners top notch review's!!! Thanks Jay!

Hey Jay, thanks for giving love to the Crescendo II. I've owned a pair for almost three years, love them. I would suggest using the Isoacoustics Gaia 1 and the AZ Hologram ll speaker cables, same wire used inside speakers. I mainly use a Line Magnetic LM-845 Premium and Pass 250.5, both are great. Also have a Vinnie Rossi DHT Lio that sounds very good. A pair of REL S5 SHO, Doshi v3.0 pre, LampizatOr Big 7 and Sonore Opticalrendu round out the system.

Dominique Fils-Aime is an awesome recommendation, thanks for highlighting artists!

I have a friend who is a speaker specialist. He designs, builds, and repairs speakers. He told me once about being hired to integrate a speaker system into a house that was being built. By request, he designed and built concrete forms to turn the guy's entire basement into a line transmission device for the system. Yup. Think about that.

Sheeesh what a great review !!

Great topics and great video..thanks so much. It is really useful to hear your take on various amp for this type speakers.. However, this speaker is rather rare and transmission line.. it would great if you continue this format for other more popular or more price friendly speaker and do your take on various amp performance.. One thing would also very helpful is to add your comments on the price/value ratio.. or mentioning the current/2nd hand price of these amp... so that ppl with different wallets size can all relate.. Furthermore, a reverse format is also very helpful.. Like various speakers for a popular amp... etc.. Again great video and thanks Jay.

They're AWESOME, but my room is very small. Great review 👏

Hey Jay, when are you going to review the Aurender N20 bud? Nice review btw!

They pair well with line Magnetic, I can say that with certainty.

You should do a series where you investigate / recommend systems for different genres of music & the effect on those systems geared towards say classic when dealing with speed metal & vice versa & so on.

Hey Jay, great review as always. Couple of questions. What is your reference system now? I don’t see you using the Terminator DAC or the Innuos streamer now. Are you on a search for a new reference set up? You mention the Laiv DAC in this video, is a review coming? Perhaps a DAC shoot out? Just curious as you seemed to enjoy the PS Audio stellar DAC from couple videos ago. Let us know!

Great quality vid in every respect, well done, but how about coming down the price level a little for your next review, and testing out an SMSL A300 in BTL mode, used as dual monos putting out 400 watts RMS (tested by Amirm at ASR. Now that would be interesting !

Im interested in a 2'x4'x3' box- with 2-10" and a 6"9". Connected to shelf stereo, or bluetooth receiver. Basically 2-10s and 6x9.

I am new to tubes. Really stunned by the Brunoco 6L6PP. The Bruno Music Bar recordings are amazing. I own a pair of original Teckton Design 8ohm Pendragons. Will the Brunoco bring out the best in my speakers. I am a big into Jazz, vocals and classical music and Doobie Brothers rock. I am torn between the Brunoco and the Willsenton R800i. Thanks in advance for your input.

Where is h390?

Jay, do you plan to do a review of the Aurender N20? I just bought one and have it paired with an MSB Discrete DAC with the word clock synced. It was a serious improvement. I replaced my Cardas Clear cable loom with Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper interconnects, Absolute speaker cables and Absolute 110 AES cable:

Jay which would you recommend? Klipsch rp-280fa or the Definitive technology D17s

never be afraid of large speakers in a small room!

It would be interesting if you got Alta Audio back in with some of these amplifiers.

Solid review.. also please hit up Sean and tell him his viewers are still waiting for the reviews he promised up back in Feb on the live stream. March, April, and now May have come and 0 ZF reviews. Insert the gif meme from happy Gilmore - we’re waiting

Making want to buy the NAT Magma M's and NAT Magnetic Pre amp

Will you review Usher speakers?

To all: Which Dominique album has the best sound quality? Thx

These kind of speakers should be Bi amped

Dude, why don't you have a Pass Labs Class A amplifier, at least a XA-160.8 mono blocks. How about reviewing a good preamp such as an Audio Research Ref 10? Just sayin that's all... 🙂 Keep up the good work.

Envious ( on a good way :) ,…of the Technics R2R that i see behind !

Your opinion on the Michi x5 ?

I wouldn't call those tweeters "ribbon". They look more like planar coil designs.

Want bottom end integrate subs 😮 JLA cr-1 active crossover w Rel CS 😊

Montreal, now lets not forget the smoked meat. Especially Smoked Meat Petes on a Tuesday night.

3rd order Linkwitz/Riley? Can you point me at how that works, please?

What's the pricing on these?

Nice & informative. =) #Bass
