One of my favorite brands could not be missing here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Krakow manufactory has accompanied me so often and so often and so often I tried to defend it that I was accused of financial benefits on this account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing could be more wrong, although I admit that I had the idea to try to help them out into the world – in Poland, few people care about selling this brand. It is more profitable to sell imported products with better marketing facilities behind it.I like good and Polish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a society, we are taught that good is Western … Meanwhile, it is often exactly the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was in possession longer or shorter: Sol I, Sol II, Sol III, Bright MK4, IOVITA MK2 Signature A Class, Sensei 300B, Origami 6550, Selene 6B4G, Selene 6550 (also with KT150), Williamson, and Sensei 211 I had at home 3 times in various systems. So Sound Haiku is well known to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haiku amplifiers have 2 ailments that make it difficult for them to defend themselves on the market, and at the same time make them highly valued in the niche they hit.

But more on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haiku Sensei 211<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is probably the most successful model of this manufacturer at the moment. DesignSingle Ended Triode \/ Set<\/a>, so the most puristic and a bit more difficult to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this mean that everyone will like it the best? Of course not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a device for the listener and who knows what he wants from life … TFU a music lover – one who knows how to put his system together.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This amplifier plays very neutral – textures, colors, space and plasticity are its very strong points. Of course, when confronted with a transistor on the cold side, or with D class, it will be much 'warmer’, which does not change the fact that it is not a device for a person who prefers tube sugaring and rounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It cannot be used for 'lamp’ heating of the system and inserted anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will show nice columns, source. It will lead the bass very well. It will provide an amazing live experience. Three-dimensional, naturalness, good proportions, plasticity. It will faithfully recreate the material. according to art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haiku Sensei 211 – what columns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It will not be easy, because 211 needs good loudspeakers, and not those that will have to be led out on the bass or pampered in some band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can try something Spendora, something from JM Lab on Polykevlar, he sat down very nicely withAudiophase Flow<\/a>, great with Audiophase Opium. An interesting choice will be something from Italy that does not eat a lot of electricity, or from the UK. However, look for a bass \/ woofer from 8 inches up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet a very good result almost in the darkAudio Revival Atalante 5<\/a>but then you need to take care of a dynamic source. Nevertheless, the character and class of AR playing seem to fit perfectly with Sensei 211.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert plays with him onvon Schweickert<\/a>and before that, a pretty cool duo made withATC SCM40<\/strong><\/a>(In this set, however, I would not expect rock sounding, but rather an attitude towards extremely cool splashing and realization of atmospheric albums) – Albert is rather listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to play warm – give him loudspeakers with such a signature or a source.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I would not combine it with analytical columns, unless you are on the second spectrum of this hobby and you like surgery (but plastic!) – this can be easily reached with this lamp – especially in an unadapted room with poor attenuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give it to Saber, or even R2R, if you like cool, precise, plastic, dignified as in the Philharmonic, but without a hint of fun or emotions. I prefer something on older bones – then sensei provides sophistication and the source a hint of romanticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
