Wow, beautiful system, beautiful room.
But please take care of your ears! You only have two and they are pretty hard to replace

I go crazy with my volume to sometimes ... but 105dbs?!?!

Anyway, some music begs for more volumes.

I LOVE the DarTZeel.

Yeah, I know it is pretty crazy. But I just wanted to see how loud they would go without any apparent distortions. The new midrange unit in the Sasha is pretty special. Sure, my room is small at 14x19, so fairly easy to pressurize, but still.

As you know I have been using Ref-3 for quite a while, but after I got the Puccini, I noticed that I actually prefer Puccini direct to amp, so sold the Ref-3.

I plan to do more comparisons in the near future, just to see how transparent the Kondo is - right now I have changed to many components at the same time (cables, added Scarlatti DAC and Kondo pre) to be able to isolate the Kondo effect.

But after I get acustomed to the new sound, I will try to run Scarlatti direct to amp.

Wow!... that is loud. I do feel that Wilson's sound their best at moderate to high volume levels. Why buy a sports car if you are going to drive 55 mph! I will say that adding transparent power conditioning has allowed me to comfortably increase my listening volumes without increasing listening fatigue. Less distortion and more dynamics. I am very interested in Sasha's or Sophia III. My room is the same size as yours Elberoth. It is good to know that Sasha is not too big for that size of a room...
