Why few discussion on Audio Machina CRM, CRG, CRS?

They spend little to no money on advertising.
They never had very many dealers and now sell direct.

This means few have heard OF them and even fewer have heard their products. It should be no surprise that they fly way under the radar.

It probably doesn't help that they have funny name that sounds like an Italian manufacturer of exotic turntable stands.

PS I actually have heard their "Pure System" (IIRC) at a local dealer (one of the few in their old network) and agree that it sounded great.

One year at THE Show (CES) Karl showed next door to us. If I recall right, the manufacturer he was to show with was unable to make it at the last minute, but as luck would have it we had a spare set of M-60s on hand so we lent them to him.

The speaker was very impressive and the M-60 drove them quite well. Karl does very well with his designs overseas but they are not so well known here, which is a pity since the speaker is really quite good!

Glad to hear from Atmasphere about his impression on Karl's speakers. Most of Karl's designs are quite easy to drive as he uses truly simple (does not mean it's not sophisticated) first order crossovers.

The CRM are amazing for their size. I just tried them out the other day and was extremely impressed. Huge soundstage, excellent tonal balance. They honestly sounded better than the Magico Mini II I had in the same room. I have not tried the Q1, but the CRM are really very special.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but are these the same people who sell magic pebbles, teleportation tweeks and other complete BS?

No - that is Geoff Kait's Machina Dynamica.

Karl is the real deal. I've not heard his latest speakers but I was most impressed with his old Ultimate Monitor with the BOMB bass extension module many CESs ago.

I'd love to hear some of his latest creations.
