Thomas congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 on the TS A75: reviews ate confirming its Giant Killer Status. I personally never doubted it would be fantastic. And I was over joyrd to hear from many reviewers expressing that regardless of Pre Amp it was Holographic across the board. Though Iceas surprised it doesn't cone with VU Meters... Maybe you can make an upgraded version with neters and call it the TS A75m Ahahahahahaha "there is no secret to the secret ingredian soup!"

Hello, The video shows how the speakers are connected via the bi-wiring connection with a normal (2-wire) speaker cable (7:43). Have you inserted the first plug into the treble terminal and the second plug into the bass terminal? Am I correct? Why don't you connect both speakers to the woofer connection, as is usually recommended? What are the advantages of this connection method? Greetings, Michael.🤔

@ThomasAndStereo

It depends on the room, speaker and the amount of people in the room. The problem with my room is once you pass a certain volume, it gets aggressive and the bass drowns the details. That is why when I was in the room, I tried really hard to keep fine tunign the sound, even during a song. The problem when the volume is too low, and there is a lot of background noise, people cannot 'hear' the speakers. I personally like 80 to 85db at a show. Not 90 to 100db.

@ThomasAndStereo Nice, thanks for the response.

lol this vid appeared on my feed so i watched it again and have a new comment. were you at Toronto Audiofest? the Monitor Hyphn was significantly better at the Toronto show. they were far less aggressive at Montreal and, as i understand it, that's because some people complained they were too loud the last time. someone sitting next to me said "i am not sure these are worth $120,000" and my reply was "you would have no doubts if you heard them in Toronto" The bass produced by the isobaric "force cancelling" design is astonishing.

I actually asked them to lower the volume so I could listen carefully. The problem is the bass was a bit too much like our room so I could not hear the full potential. It sounded like it had a v curve, very detail with strong bass. Mids, from memory is not on the romantic side but it was not as recessed as the svs ultra.
