I had a chance to hear this as I was in Gurgaon for a day and since Manav's home is very near my office ,had some time to meet Manav and his system
The Man and his system are both fantastic..the Man being warm, transparent and a pleasure to be with and the system being transparent, neutral , fast and again a pleasure to be with
The system we heard was both the TTs with the monk audio Phono, accuphase amp and the speakers.What stands out is that these are really well setup and you can feel that there has been a lot of thought behind it.
The speakers look very different and what hits you about the sound is the Speed. Music flows out very well and all that with a huge image it projects in both width and depth. the treble seems to extend high but is very sweet and the bass tight, articulate and fast. We played Jagajit singh and his music had all the midrange richness it should have
BTW They look good too !
We played both the Garrard and the Clearaudio and the difference were significant in terms of in the presentation style..difficult to say which was better since if one was fantastic in the way it was able to dig out nuances the other was great in the organic presentation and warmth, hence horses for courses seemed the best approach
Manav, thanks for the offer, it was short but well worth the time. My main regret was not being able to hear Virens creations as the distance was too much and time too little
