RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss

Heaading from Tulsa, OK to my first RMAF this week. I was hoping to listen to some Rockport loudspeakers, but from the RMAF website, it looks like Rockport may be a no show this year unfortunately.

Who all is going and what loudspeakers should one make sure not to miss for an audition?

I have heard the MBL 101 Extreme speakers on maybe $100k in MBL front end electronics... sounded horrible. I much prefered the Sonus Faber speakers at a FRACTION of the price with McIntosh front end. You could buy a decent car and take a vaction with the difference in cost.

What does this senseless post have to do with the 2014 RMAF show? Try to keep on topic.

Thanks for the clarification on the Nimbus, Doug. Now they're $12,895, alas. If Vapor has the orders, I can't blame them for letting the market influence the pricing. Nothing wrong with trying to stay in business.

Mapman, yes, AudioKinesis was there, demonstrating the Zephrin 46s driven by an Atma-Sphere S-30, and as one of their dealers I spent some time in the room. I drive my pair with M-60s.
