SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here


Seeing a few random responses in other threads, but thought it would be nice if we could have a single thread to try to consolidate at least a "best of" compilation of speaker impressions. All cost ranges. All of us "stay at home" agoners would appreciate it. Thanks much.

Wow. Thanks for the great notes so far. Surprised about the Magico, if only by reputation, but really surprised about the maggie 1.7, as that has already been hailed as a breakthrough by TAS (granted, they love panels over there). The Aerial 10t sounds amazing. Can't wait to hear more impressions. Also, anyone hear NOLA or VSA?
Great stuff. Keep it coming.

Marakanetz: 605hifi asked if it was the 10t or 20t? Can you confirm which (r u sure it was 10t)?

Surferjoe, which Vienna model(s)?

To all: please identify which model speaker you are commenting on, if you can remember. Thanks.
Surferjoe, it was the Music and not the new smaller klimt? I've heard the Music at Stereo Exchange in NY, and although a flawed room that robbed them of bass, they seem to have something special going on. I like the single driver over 7-8 octave approach I think. As a maggie fan that can't fit them, I think this single driver plus woofer concept and the open baffle like NOLA and Legacy capture some of the maggie magic. Was Legacy there?
fplanner, did you hear the Legacys, and if so which ones and what did you think? I've skimmed the last two TAS CES reports and no mention of the Legacy brand, at least as a best-in-show candidate. BTW, the Von Schweikert Unifield 3 is getting great reviews and has a similar "top 7 octaves" single driver approach like the Vienna Klimt series.

Getting back to Legacy, I'm starting to get very interested in their new Whisper XD. Anyone hear them?
