Thank you gentlemen!
Sorry, I don't know the name of the racks in the Harbeth room.




Let's continue our tour.

Next room was the Russell K - MSB room.



Russell K is a speaker company with nicely looking and very decent sounding transducers that cost 2-5K.
This is the creator:










Ivan, you should write a book about how to do decent cabling!




Source: the MSB Analog DAC; amp also MSB.

Next room: Paul Quadens




Paul Quadens is an artist.
He designs modern furniture.
For these speakers, the 'Ovo' (egg), he cooperated with sound engineers.




Source and amp: Jadis




Rack also from his hand (7K)






Meta did a fine job with the photographs. It was pitch dark in that room. She hates using flash.

Sensitivity: 96 dB



You can see Paul Quadens behind your servant:




How did this room sound?
Very decent... but the speakers are not worth 38K, I'm sorry.
They're big, weigh 90kg, but were not better than the Harbeths that cost 7-8 times less.

And High Voltage it was!
You can start with 1 power amp without power supply.
This delivers already 300W into 8 Ohms.
Then you can add the power supply to have even more power on tap.
Then you configure 2 amps in mono: up to 800W!












Very well built devices!
The pre detects automatically whether the signal is PCM or DSD.
