In Reply to: Well - their $73,000 AN E won product of the year this year posted by RGA on January 4, 2016 at 15:06:18:
And? Product of the year from AV showrooms? Yee haw!! Go look what the Japanese are putting in their homes with their expensive SETs; Altec, JBL, Tannoy and other types of horns from the past. Odeons have been actively demoed at Munich in the last few years...I should know I have been going to the show since about 2003 when it was still in Frankfurt.
"You tout the exact same things over and over and over again - Odeon this Odeopn that, Nothing beats my Monarchy - JJ amps are the best - Kronzilla Kronzilla Kronzilla (and NAT)- Panels are the best blah blah blah. fanboy of like 7 brands that you continuously recommend over and over and over.
"
LOL! Try as you might you don't even get what Fanboy means! The fact that I have found a diversity of good products is proof I am not a fanboy of any one product. You on the other hand are the poster child for fanboy on this forum and you have been for years.
FWIW, I have never said nothing beats my Monarchy...just not for the money. I have heard other DACs (Lampizator, for example) that handily beats it but for a steep price. Same with the JJ, but it is very good and likely better than the Line Magnetic 300B amp, for example, which is priced similarly. I know very well that I can get a better amp from the likes of NAT, KR Audio, Wavac, Kondo and several others but at what price? The JJ is better made and better sounding than other "affordable" SETs I have heard but that definitely doesn't mean it is unbeatable.
Kronzilla IS one of the best. You want to see longetivity as a top rated amp. The KR Kronzilla monos held the title at Stereoplay magazine as their top rated amp from 2002 until 2012...10 years! It is still among their best but it is now like 2 generations out of date. Their VA680 was the top rated amp at Audio. One of the absolute best amps I ever heard was the Wavac HE 805 at a show in London many years ago. It is prohibitively expensive to me (so are the top KR amps).
For some kinds of music, Panels are the best but not just any panels. I would chose many box and horn speakers over any Magnepan, for example but they are far from the best of the breed...they are the cheapest of the breed. I am not sure what your preferred music is but if it is classical then you are missing something by not using a great panel speaker.
