Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?

In at least some ways, the AMR stuff was some of the best I heard at CES. That was on Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning they had swapped out the Virtual Dynamics cabling and installed the AMR cabling and the system took a serious step downward. Nevertheless, we heard what it was capable of.

In fact, my colleague was using a Natalie Merchant recorded live cd to evaluate speakers/systems throughout CES and The Show. This particular test track contains an extremely difficult passage to reproduce without some type of dynamic flattening or breakup in the tweeter.

The AMR speaker was the only one of the 50 or so rooms we auditioned that passed with flying colors. Not only did it pass, but that complex passage soared to new heights cleanly and dynamically via the AMR system.

The Ascendo speakers came in 2nd. All other systems we heard failed to one good degree or another.

I'm keeping my eye out for the release of their prototype speakers they exhibited.

Overall, I thought their gear was intriguing and first rate sonically.

-IMO

did not comment on its sound....i just think when product comes from china or anywhere, the manufacturer should be forthcoming to the consumer. as for a 6moons review....get a grip...

The product is completely designed in the UK - just made in china. Why should the place of its assembly be relevent? It sounds great BTW.

Jaybo why do you say the AMR products come from China? what proof do you have?

when a company hides its origins...they are not being honest, plain and simple....'designed in england and manufactured overseas' is comical. desiged by whom? and made where?.......heck, even a 'set of cups and saucers' contains more revealing info than many new so called hi end companies. make no mistake, they they be wonderful sounding amps and cd players, its just that at the end of the day, most start up companies are nothing more than marketeers with an office, a bankroll, and a chinese connection who offer a variety of products and services to 'anyone' who wants to jump in to what is 'at the moment', a tecnological gold rush. go to any website from 'hoover' to 'tonka' and you'll learn what real companies tell their consumers. they don't hide behind vague bs. a generic guitar may sound beautiful, but its still a generic guitar.
