Audio Archon now has received their demo pair of Model 100 speakers and they are breaking/settling in as we speak. Mike Kay is experiencing the same superlative and special sound production that I have in my system. So, if you are in the Chicago land area you could contact Mike and setup an audition to hear for yourself what makes this speaker so special.
I have had another three guests that did not want to go home after listening to these playing the music they brought with them to audition them with. Everyone founds them totally engaging on an emotional level that makes the music a beautiful experience. I still think of them as Harbeth 40.2 with "balls". If you know what Harbeth's offer regarding color/tonality and imaging, the Model 100 has these qualities with even better dynamics and deep low end extension. From opera to pounding rock these speakers can play it all.
