Congratulation for your new speakers Pierre!

I have recently listened the Ascendo M-S S.E speakers (without TAS though) driven by some big Vitus mono block. The sound was very good.

Hi Pierre,

Thank you very much for your response and for the pm.

I must admit that I was not really aware of the PurePower products. I remember I've stumbled once on their web page and looked on their comparison chart (the one where they compare various PS products; you also sent it to me in the pm) but I've forgotten quickly about them as they are not available in Europe (at least to was my understanding).

According to the comparison on the PurePower site the only feature that the PS Audio PPP lacks in comparison to the PurePower products is the battery. But given the fact that I have a class A integrated (that sucks a lot of juice) I do not think that is a significant for me. Unfortunately, I was unable to find PurePower products in the Netherlands. Also, I do not really trust the PS Audio products (too many stories of noisy fan) ...

Currently, I am in contact with a local company, which is well know here, i.e. Kemp Elektroniks. They are specialists in "power-porducts". I have asked them to install a dedicated line in my room and if everything goes fine I might buy also their power source unit.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Lapierre,

I am having similar problems. When installing some lamps I have discovered that the wires for the lights and for the wall outlets are connected via a cheep splitter to the same main wires...

I've asked an electrician to bring a new line in my room. He brought one form the main conduit in the building. Although he assured me that this line will provide very clean power, I am skeptical. I am thinking to get a PS Audio PPP. Any thoughts on this unit? Other recommendations are of course welcome.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Lapierre,

I am glad to hear things are falling into place. We have also just moved into a new home and I too am working to finish my hobby/audio room. See my schematics of my future rooms on my system page. Its dimensions are 4.7 by 3.5 by 2.4 meters, i.e. 15.4 x 11.5 x 7.9 in feet.

Of the two rooms you mention I would definitely choose the large one. Firstly, because it is larger so you have more freedom to move the speakers around, and secondly, because it is not an exact square like the small one (though still close to a square).

Hi Lapierre,

In one of yours replies (which I can not fine right now) you have mentioned that you compared the dali helicon 300 and the focal micro utopia Be. Could you give me more details about the comparison?. Why did you choose the Dalis over the utopias?

Currently I own a pair of 300s with original stands and I am extremely happy with them. I really enjoy their hugh sound stage, tight bass and clean clear highs. However, I was a bit surprised to read that you have chosen the dalis over the utopias. Even more so after checking out your system and realizing that your decision was probably not based on the price difference between the two speakers. At almost half the price I would have expected the Dalis to be no match for the Focals.

Tanks in advance.
