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

It looks like some of the pictures are of prototypes like the Berlin SM which they've changed a couple of times. They are quite nice looking in person.

Best?

What is the Best?? Very hard to quantify. If we approach loudspeakers like art it will be the ability for the loudspeaker to surpass it's construction and the sum of its parts in its ability to correctly reproduce music.

To compare the construction a new pair of Magico speakers to the Berlin is foolish as they are totally different one is mostly wood one is mostly aluminum or posting that one loudspeaker kills another is foolish considering all the variables: lets remember that there are 7 Billion pairs of ears (true some can deceiver music better than others) millions of recordings and a hundred million different component combinations possible so again it is subjective.

If you want a wooden horn and with high efficiency the Berlin might just be the best choice. If want truly heroic construction with heroic sound Magico might be the way to go two choices out of a thousand.

Lastly, someone (carl) keeps emailing us asking to do a face-off with other brands.... We'll participate if asked to but after the review what do you do?

Art is not fixed and should have no ending but keep transcending.

No; the big Ventures were the best sounding rig overall.

Yea, the Venture room was in my top five. But there was a f**k wad that took the sweet spot for hours without considerations for others who wanted to listen. Some of you may remember him because all he did was crank up electronic house music to ear bleeding levels.
