Nice pictures. How was the sound? Couple weeks ago, I heard a V3 driven drive a DartZeel integrated (8850) and was much impressed. Very good overall balance. The bass was full with good definition in the moderate sized room. I guess the S3 would push the performance even further.

Hi Clee,

I was not too impressed to be honest, but I just got out of a 13 hour flight and did not have the best listening position during the show. (so it might have been me)

Dartzeel 8850 and the V3's are a very good match, the V3's are old news but at the moment I would not change them for any of the new S-series. (maybe I woud change my mind if I would try them at a home)

Do you mean the DartZeel 8550 integrated amp?

It could be the room. Unusual front wall configuration.

What are the new Soulution gears? At CES 2014, Soulution demo'ed the 711 with the S3 with (reported) excellent result. I would be more interested in listening to the S3 driven by a less expensive amp, such as Vitus SS101, or even RI100.

Hi Clee,

Looked like 501 mono blocks and the new 560 DAC(and pre).
The demo room is normally very good, already listened to many shows there.
(best one, for me anyway, was a full Soulution 7 series set up (mono blocks) driving the M5 from Magico, second, a full Spectral set up (360 mono blocks) driving Magico Q5, and also enjoyed a Wilson Alexandria with Pass labs amplifiers, all demo's were in the same room)

I am still very happy with an Accuphase Class A integrated driving my V3's.
No doubt that the Accuphase will also drive the S3 and I am sure the Vitus amplifiers you are mentioning will be driving the S3's easily.

Olaf
