Here is an update of my experience with the Thomas Mayer 801A SE stereo amplifier. Definitely a rare species of amp when musicallity is an important criteria for you. I also added two photos of Thomas Mayer's latest amplifier design with 30 Watts of affordable SE magic, at the end of this page. |

My friend Alexander and I had a blast at the Lenco Heaven Meet in Brussels, another wonderful event for music and audio lovers. We met great people, had fun listening to wonderful Lenco-based systems, enjoyed good beer and the famous Belgian cuisine. Visit the Lenco Heaven Forum, it's in my opinion one of the best internet-forums around, focusing on vintage Lencos but also on a variaty of other audio topics including music. Highly recommended! |

I
recently had two opportunities to listen to David Haigner's new
3-way monitors in more detail. These monitors were also demonstrated
at the Klangbilder 2009
audio show in Vienna last November (see a photo here).
What shall I say. These speakers are a music fan's dream come true.
100% time aligned they are the best 3-way monitors I've ever heard.
Period! They work with transistor amps stunningly and are a superb
match for tube amps from 7 watts on. If you come to Vienna, it's a
must to hear these speakers... |

David Haigner's Rho, his "budget" 2 way horn speaker design was excellently reviewed in the German High End magazine "Image Hifi" (No. 82, 4/2008) by Roland Kraft. Although 90 dB efficiency only, Mr. Kraft found this easy to drive speaker the right partner especially for tube amps between 6 and 15 watts.
Another
Rho test in the highly regarded internet audio magazine 6moons.com
is forthcoming. I will keep you updated... |

Because
music rules: I have decided to stay with my old car, a 1990 BMW 318,
and instead order David Haigner's forthcoming horn loudspeaker
system, the Gamma. I can't wait to get the speakers this winter and
will definitely report on my experience... (Meanwhile, feel free to
check out Mr.Haigner's
new website) |

A
review of David Haigner's Beta Horn LS system can be found in the
German audio magazine LP (issue 1/2008) and the review does these
awesome speakers justice. If you live in Germany, Switzerland or
Austria and you like horn systems, go for this issue of the LP magazine. |
