Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?

truth be told, i thought, the first time i stumbled upon it, that "buggtussel" was one of the coolest names i'd ever heard for any audio product. right up there with "buttkicker." now that i know how the name was derived, i like it even more. than you, dr. kevin.

Quote from Kevin Blair.

"when I awakened, I was informed that we had all received nick-names during the night. Mine was to be "Buggtussel"

Thread subtitle is "sleeper" high end speaker. Appears to be accurate, at least in obtaining it's name.
;~)

Albert, if you listen as intently as you are visually observant, i have no doubt that your system sounds phenomenal : ) Sean

Has anybody read the review of the Buggtussel Amygdala in the new Audiophile Voice Volume 8, Issue 1. Chuck Bruce called them every audiophiles delight. Sounds like some exciting stuff!

At CES 2001 and 2002 the Buggtussels were among the speakers that impressed me most, particularly on voice and solo piano. They are very fast and articulate, and give a lively presentation more reminiscent of say a jazz club than a symphony concert hall. The lower registers of the piano were especially well rendered, and the dynamic impact and contrast was excellent - leaving no doubt in one's mind that the piano is a percussion instrument. I thought the price would be about twice what it actually was. For example, the seven grand ballpark Lemniscus sounded better to me than some very well respected speakers at over twice the price, which I had been considering carrying.
