Heard this system at the last NYC show. I was very impressed and was wondering the same thing. So I asked to hear some other material. I remember hearing a drum solo recording and some popular rock. I asked the gentlemen to turn it up, and wow-plenty loud. People started crowding in from the hallway and were equally impressed. Sound was lively, punchy, and just a lot of fun. And he said come back tomotrorrow and hear it with our more powerful amp separates (I did not). Audition was with the Legend integrated and a mid priced CD player-sony I think.
I researched the equipment when I got back from the show and saw little info on the web and some not so rave reviews in the mags. Unfortunatly I let the reviewers influence me. I realize now I have better hearing and/or taste than them. In addition the speakers at $4k are high for me and nothing ever found used on Audiogon. But I must say that was the most enjoyable room for me. My question is how good is each component on its own merit-eg, how would the speakers sound with other equipment.
