I think the Sanders sounded good, especially in the bass; but overall they cannot match the Magnepans in the mids and highs...overall I still think the Maggies sound better, especially the 3.7 and 20.7's...
RMAF 2012 Postmortem
Doesn't seem to be an RMAF 2012 thread yet.
Wondering what people thought, so I'll make a start.
Best in Show:
The big Ventures. Hard to describe how good these speakers sounded without being sappy. IMHO, embarrassing to other "statement" speakers at the show, like the big TAD and Lansche.
I was mostly interested in high efficiency speakers. Especially good were:
Zu Defintion IV
Devore Gibbon 93 and 96
Sonist C4
The Sonists, playing in the Snake River system, sounded especially good considering their (comparatively) reasonable price.
A few other noteworthy speakers were
Vapor's new 3 way
Vivid's space alien rendition of a mini-tower in the Tweak geek room
The Evolution mini-monitor was the best (reasonably) accessible speaker I heard, at 2500. Very good.
Opinions based on information overload, over a day and a half of listening.
Any other impressions?
John
