Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1500.00 from Kellsie Audio

Summary:
Purchased this from Kellsie Audio. Was wondering between The Leisure 3SE and B&W 805, and after comparing in my own setup, I decided to keep the Leisure 3 SE. My room is about 15'x20' with hardwood floor and rugs. The B&W 805 sounded harsh compared to the Leisure's. In contrary, the Leisure's sound very smooth and balanced. I especially love the high's of the G3 ribbon tweeter, which is even better than the highly rated G2 that I heard in Salk Audio's monitor. The bass is about the same as 805 but seems to be cleaner and tighter. The leisure's also present a much wider sound imaging and deeper stage. When playing classical tracks, I can clearly tell the position of almost every instruments. The build quality and finishing is better too. My wife likes the Leisure's much better than any other speakers we ever owned :) I would definitely recommend it, and don't think one can find something better for the price.

Strengths:
Did I say I love the highs ? clear midrange and bass. best quality and finishing.

Weaknesses:
none

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
