Mrtennis:Sanders and Magnepan. I was very very impressed with the Sanders. Really have intergrated the sub well and the bass came thru extremely well. I didn't hear the Maggies but one thing I noticed is how many speakers are using the planar or Air Motion transformers. And sounding quite well. As far as your other questions, I can't say as I have not been bit by the digital bug beyond SACD yet.
RMAF 2012 Postmortem
Doesn't seem to be an RMAF 2012 thread yet.
Wondering what people thought, so I'll make a start.
Best in Show:
The big Ventures. Hard to describe how good these speakers sounded without being sappy. IMHO, embarrassing to other "statement" speakers at the show, like the big TAD and Lansche.
I was mostly interested in high efficiency speakers. Especially good were:
Zu Defintion IV
Devore Gibbon 93 and 96
Sonist C4
The Sonists, playing in the Snake River system, sounded especially good considering their (comparatively) reasonable price.
A few other noteworthy speakers were
Vapor's new 3 way
Vivid's space alien rendition of a mini-tower in the Tweak geek room
The Evolution mini-monitor was the best (reasonably) accessible speaker I heard, at 2500. Very good.
Opinions based on information overload, over a day and a half of listening.
Any other impressions?
John
