Really like this format of video. Getting opinions from your audiophile community in their room is a brilliant move, both to get feedback and to get your amp more widely exposed. It is entertaining and informative while being a great PR piece. Keep it up. I enjoy it even though I'm not a customer. (only because I am happy with existing rig. If I was shopping I'd definitely try you amp)

Wow I couldn’t believe Thomas had short period of time listen to valves amp and now can tell which valves to select to matching a system. Respect listening experience .

This is a stellar endorsement, that can trade blows with McIntosh mono-blocks. But Thomas!! I've been watching all these videos and I realized that the TS120 is missing something. You must have the faceplates printed with numbered volume steps and most importantly, it must go to 11!

I can only comment on the looks. It looks at home with Mr. Wilson's system. Mr. Wilson you have a very well designed system. Could you talk more about standby mode as I turn my system on when I get up and off when I go to bed. Would standby be good for me when I go out for a few hours?

@galionaudio9146 2 жыл бұрын

Well, standby mode basically turns off the amp. Once you take it out of standby mode, it would take some time to sound it's best.

How did he have less bass with the 601’s vs the 8000? Everything I hear about monoblocks and bass control is much better than Intergrated

@Galion Audio have u tested it with Kef 105 yet?

@galionaudio9146 2 жыл бұрын

No, from what I remember, the 105 does not have punchy bass despite having a big woofer. The Galion strong bass will be good with it on the low end. The 105, depending on the Gen, can be quite lively on the top end, with the Special edition, it should be fine but with the standard edition, I have to listen to be sure, of course once I use tone control, it is a non issue.

At £24000 pounds for the Wilson's, you can do far better for your money, for example the most expensive version of the special edition active crossover 65 kilogram ATC SCM50ASL SE, which will wipe the floor with the overpriced Wilsons 🤣. Also your amplifier power is going to go absolutely no where, but overload distortion sound when you want loud clear clear sound, which you ain't going to get with a three passive with your amp IMHO 🤣. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but it is the truth all the same.

Interesting you said that cause he is actually looking for an ATC active speaker now.
