dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF?


apparently several from the media were thrilled at the look and sound in the dc10audio / tektron / VPI room featuring the dc10audio Berlin studio monitor the newest biggest VPI turntable and the little Tektron S.E.T tube amp and played high volume music with only 2 watts S.E.T power man what would 20 watts sounded like?? The highly efficient Berlin is the only stand/bookshelf speaker in the world that has an internal tone-wood resonator called the instrument / bass reflex horn ported tweeter and an active tone-wood baffle! Serious new technology!

Supposedly amongst the reviewers was the head of Kondo who was at RMAF from Japan...yes, Kondo!! Anyone out there that can verify this? and post a link. The gentleman from Japan was quoted to have said Q: That this was the only room in the entire show that could actually play the piano with the right tone and energy he also asked how was a ported tweeter possible but sounded like a very good idea and he apparently took lots and lots of notes!

I've owned my dc10audio 8 PS speakers Sapele / white gloss combo for over 3 years they are drop dead gorgeous! I would only trade them for another pair of dc10audio loudspeakers of greater value! haha

Quad-man, thanks for your honesty. I know it is extremely difficult to set up a system in an unfamiliar compromised hotel room with limited amounted of time. I try not to draw firm conclusions based on show sound. Kudos to everyone who show up every year to show their wares.
I did speak to Hiroshi from Kondo at RMAF What he said to me is that he was impressed with the volume of music achieved with the small tube amplifier and was amazed at the Tektrons ability to play 5 different kinds of tubes!

After a bit of listening He asked about the loudspeakers and was perplexed by the Berlin's horn and asked if it was a compression unit we told him no but that it was both the tweeter and the bass reflex port for the speaker at the same time he said WOW! very, very, interesting.. it's like unique point source we also explained that inside the bent ply cabinet was a wooden resonator made of a special tone-wood it was here we seemed to lose him so he sat back down and took some more notes..What this means? I don't know but it was a fun interchange as I got to use my very limited Japanese language repertoire.

He spoke to some other people in our room about the sound quality while playing Diana Krall and it seemed to have gotten his attention. ?? If you were their what did he say to you??

Mountain-high,

I see you now have two pairs of dc10audio speakers for sale here on audiogon... Methinks some disclosure is in order...
He also has feedback from the sale of a pair of Berlins. Yet on 10-19-12 he stated he was not a dealer. HMMMM.
