Hi Jerome - good memory! I had Verity Sarastro II and moved up to the Devore O/96 about 2 years ago :audiophile: Before the Verity I had Super 8s which are now in our second place with a Nait 5. The Sarastro are incredible speakers for classical music, but compared to the O/96 the Verity are missing too much of the flow and realism of the music for Jazz and most other music I listen to.
Cheers,
Rene

But the Super 8 did sound a lot better with the Haut Brion. The Nait is a lot of fun though

Ah ! My mistake then !
I personally never found a tube amplifier able to make them sound with realism at moderate volume, especially in the bass. But that is just my taste.

I ran my super 8's with both tube and solid state. Tubes were way better for me and my ears in my home.

I have no doubt for this one that a 10W SET will be more than enough !

Beautiful setup!
Does your room give you any issues you have to deal with?

Yeah its the house of Shindo. Not sure if the room has any problems that need dealing with, I was too excited by all the amazing toys and beautiful sounds to listen out for them. But my wife was really happy to see Ken didn't have any room treatments, she rubbed it in my face all day long. Having said that the corners of the room do get cut off with wood panels.

That's Ken Shindo's room? Holy cow. Did he have a bigger room too? The speakers look like they are two feet apart. How did it sound?

The room is larger than it looks, I'm just a giant of a man. Well I felt like I was in Japan ha ha ha. It sounded great to me, but like I said, I was to excited that day to judge. I had also played a few pre war Martins and had my first 1959 Les Paul Standard experience. Things I have dreamt of for most of my life. So it was sensory overload. I wish I had time to compare the EMT turntable they had with the Shindo tables. I wish I did a lot of things after I left, like shindo wire for my tonearm or a shindo volume knob for my Dac so it matched the rest of my gear. But like a kid in a candy store my head was mush at the time, to excited.
