Heard an MBL xtreme w full mbl amps at a dealer in Houston. Didn’t like it.
Heard a 101e and was ready to write them off, it was a proper room with good acoustics. I must say, I haven’t heard front to back imaging like that day. I was so distracted by the stage depth, I couldn’t evaluate much else.Magico, JL, Emm, ARC Ref 10 line, ARC Ref 10 phono, VPI, Lyra, Boulder, AQ Wel, SRA Scuttle Rack, Bluesound -

Living Voice Vox Olympian horn speaker and Elysian sub combo. Pricey at about a half million dollars but apparently they sound as good as they look. They would be perfect for a powder room rig.
