I Like Takatsuki 300b

Gracias por tu análisis tan objetivo y profesional. Yo tengo los Stax S3 y estan geniales. Saludos cordiales desde Chile.

Thank You for this test, super helpful. Stax S3 is somewhat lean, but it has great breathing room for a closed back and is easily the best Bang for the Buck, If I had to go wireless though? Bathys all the way. Personally Going to probably buy the new Focal Azurys.

I think it's impossible to compare audio like this, you need a much longer sample to be able to compare the transitions of each product

不知为何，怎么感觉西电声音在听交响乐时有一点拖沓呢

Watch from 3:50 - The difference is massive between Hd800 and Utopia

B&W is Winner !!!

You are doing a great comparison. Your way to compare speaker is unique on your tube, your definitely can do more and attract more viewers. This Monitor Audio Studio speaker is lacking in midrange, critical for human voice. All Monitor Audio speaker are overpriced themselves against competition in recent years.

Tad me 1 is the winner

All time favourite hd800s after all kind of hi end headphones

After going most hi end brand headphone from 1000-5000 usd I end up sennheiser hd800s my favourite with tube amp drive

Technics

第一次看到有人这么真实的评价劲浪bathys 网上快把他吹上天了

looks like I need NAN in my collection

我有聽WE300 2021, superTNT, 還有EML

Technics 👍🔊🔊 fantastica

Accuphase is my preference. I have a certain hearing impairment which predisposes me to favour the lower-mids and the base notes. I don't hear the full spectrum of the mids so that when I hear mids and highs that are minimally "unpleasant" or "off", that's easily amplified into harshness, lack of balance, and/or overbearing sibilance, etc. Because the Luxman seems to predominate (over the Accuphase) in the mids, it more often "runs roughshod" of my listening comfort zone so that by default, Accuphase comes across as the more pleasant experience for my ears. Like hearing aids, it's great that amp manufacturers adopt unique/different sound signatures so that there's always an amp or two that's right for someone with compromised hearing profile.

The Takatsuki has widest bandwidth, great low and extended high... Linlai is second, followed by Full Music...

I do not understand why you would even put the LS3/5A in this test, to me its clearly much outclassed by the other speakers, the other speakers are high end and transparent to varying degrees, the LS3/5A almost sounds coloured. for if is no contest, i think the TAD was the most natural, KEF most neutral and B&W played nice too, they all played much better than the LS3/5A

what amp was used? thanks

販売終了は勿体ない。ユニット単品の販売もすれば良かったのに。天井埋め込み型とかでさ

TAD sounds better but you put those technics too close to the back walls, i think they need more back space , judging from your recording on my monitors...i think i will go for technics its cheap here in EU 🤓TAD is for millionaires here...

Thanks a lot for this comparison, amazing performance vs. price of the Chinese tube, a little harsh and less precise in bass. Takatsuki and new WE are very close, over all I prefer the WE a little more balanced for my taste. Unfortunately Takatsuki 300b is hard to get here in Europe. Airtight 300b mono very impressive, even when playing hard rock...

Tj 300b/n is relaxed sound., Takatsuki is have a good bass. I prefer Tj 300b/n mesh plate. My other favorite tubes are Psvane T mark II , it’s a very smooth presentation.

the high of 805 sounds weird.

您好，請問這台30w的擴大機是technics sa-c600嗎?最近在考慮這台擴大機，不知道您的評價如何?網上中文資料非常少，想詢問您實際使用後是否推薦?感謝您

Thank you for the very helpful comparison video. LS3/5A sounds the most natural to me. TAD and B&W seem to be good at expressing details, but B&W doesn't have good transitions in the mid-high range, giving it a mechanical feel. TAD is also clear, but I feel a resonance-like sound in the midrange. The sound of the LS3/5A has a smoother transition from the midrange to the high range, and perhaps because of the compact, closed design, there is less resonance from the box, allowing me to immerse myself in the music. I think it's amazing considering the price difference.

my two favs are ref 1 and ls3/5a

jesus the bowers sounds bad.

Cheapest🎉🎉🎉

They all sounded exactly the same to me.

Technics wins

TAD is my cup of tea 😊

amazingly great sound

I did a test in my shop in the 90 ies of small monitors and Rogers LS3/5a came out winner by large....no other speaker was so studied by listening tests....

Good Idea. But the Sound is full of Distortions, is it the fault of KZfaq?

Thumbs down for the music without bass or dynamics. Its like showing sportscars at 10 mph and slow accelleration.

Tad r the best one

Some of the most natural, musical speakers in the world without a doubt.

Tad but.. mucho dineros❤😂

Great comparison recording! They are all good, very hard to tell if anything is different. Based on the look alone, I like Focal the best. I also think it's sound is well rounded. And, I think it will be great to include HD800S in the comparison.

wonderful..!!! Thank you.

excellent best sound by far with own TAD electronics bravo

I'm never buying an Utopia thats for sure.

Atc easy

Currently use the HD6XX and NAN-6 EQ'ed to harman. As much as I enjoy the dynamics on Focals, combine that with their peaky tuning and I find them harsh at times. Moreover, the drivers on my Elex would die once every 3-12 months so I don't think Focal is a brand I'd want to own again. If I ever get a HD800, it'll be for comfort lol.

Amazing to me that a speaker that was designed several decades ago can sound so good! Wow...bravo to the designer of the Kef LS3/5A.

I have the HD800 and it sounds superb

5:47 The NAN-6 sound so much wider and clearer than the focal with this transition. (I'm listening to this on a Sundara)

I love both sound representations. I feel like there's a bit more tonal richness and density in the mids along with extended highs in the Luxman. The sound stage is also a bit taller, but more narrow. The Accuphase is more airy and holographic with a wider sound stage. The Luxman is more dynamic while remaining neutral while the Accuphase is warmer with a more ethereal touch. Can't go wrong with either one. I have the Luxman 595ASE unit 109 of 300. I absolutely love it. Chances are that I would love the Accuphase if I owned this unit as well.
