    AXPONA 2017: MartinLogan Impression Speakers, Bel Canto, Cardas Audio, Stillpoints

    I had Quests and ReQuests as well as CLS 1A and Odysseys , They all were different.. I also used Krell and still do. At the time I had a FPB300c and KPS25sc.. Power is needed for the CLS.. ReQuests I rebuilt to look like Odyssey and the Odyssey were damn good as I just sold them for Wilson's I...

    AXPONA 2017: MartinLogan Impression Speakers, Bel Canto, Cardas Audio, Stillpoints

    Having owned several pairs of ML they MOST definitely need 72 inches from rear wall to do their thing,. Its a timing rear wave thing.

    Mikey Fremer has a new sweet heart!

    $25 K .. The speaker it replaced was the Sophia that started at 12k in version 1 then went up to 15 k in 2 then 20k in 3 .. 1 and 2 are no diff.. but x over changes.. 3 was deeper bass. it hit 20 hz at $20 k plus.. That being said the 1 was special as it was easiest to drive and has a mid range...

    Mikey Fremer has a new sweet heart!

    Wilson can be a acquired taste.. That being said I was not always a Wilson guy.. Many ESL and other dynamic speakers.. However; When you hear them done right its instant addiction.. The smaller Yvette does well .. You do need a big room for the larger brethren but they don't always step up in...

    AXPONA 2017: Odyssey, Magnan Cables, VPI Turntable, Symphonic Line

    A great guy with great products that perform above their price point.. The room was spooky with Santana playing and that wide speaker set up.. I actually turned my head around to look for a rear speaker.. It was surreal and I'm sure the wide speakers near walls threw that first reflection out...

    AXPONA 2017: Scaena Speakers

    Ok I have to confess.. I don't always fallow the norm.. I was a bit of a rouge and lest just say My self and a partner in my shenanigans magically got into this room at midnight and had our own listening session for a good 40 min alone and we were able to play what ever they had on their server...

    AXPONA 2017: Mytek DACs, Bob Carver

    I never heard them and have had two pairs of BOB's iterations and these were by far better.. They would be great for a large parlor when having a party.. Nothing in great detail but nothing real bad !

    AXPONA 2017: McIntosh Labs, MartinLogan, AudioQuest, Sonus Faber, Solid Tech, Aurender

    I was less than impressed with concert level demos.. I have owned 5 pair of ML and these definitely throw a huge stage but were blurred and bass was to boomey and over powering in my ears !

    AXPONA 2017: Doshi Audio, dCS Rossini DAC & Clock, Wilson Yvette Speakers, Brinkmann, Transparent

    Owning the Sophia I really do like the Yvette . Its a warm does everything well .. Unlike some of the bigger brothers who throw a wall of sound ten feet tall.. I really enjoyed this room. Daryl Wilson hit a Home run as lead designer on these !
