Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...?


What speakers impressed you at RMAF 2011 and why?
Anything underwhelming, despite the hype?

I found the following to be very intriguing and impressive.
- In no particular order:

1) Magico Q1
2) Totem Element (Fire)
3) Avalon Idea
4) Totem Hawk? (Hegel Room)
5) Evolution Acoustics MM Micro One
6) Joseph Speakers, Perspective

These speakers seemed to have a very good mix of macro and micro dynamics, bass response, articulation, musicality, sound stage and a seemingly limitless high frequency range.

At $2k, the Evolution Acoustics may be a bargain of the bunch.

Appreciate your thoughts...!

1. Western Electric 757 speakers in the Silbatone room
2. Daedalus speakers in the Galibier room with Serious Stereo amps
3. Volti Audio Vittora
In no particular order, below were my favorites:

- TAD - both models
- Vandersteens - 7 with ARC Ref gear
- Wilson Sashas with the the Doshi electronics
- Nola Baby Grands with ARC electronics
- Revel Studio 2s w/ Levinson electronics (sounded terrific on Sunday)
- Sonus Faber Futuras with ARC and Wadia
- MBLs
- PMCs with Bryston front end and amps
- Martin Logan with McInstosh
- Evolution Acoustics stand MMC1 driven by DartZeel - a steal at $2,500 with stands
- New Avalons

The Salk sounscapes and the vandersteen 7's

Would have loved to have heard the Salk's with the arc gear
Joseph sounded wonderful MAGICO Q1 sounded Dry and are VERY overpriced at $25k there were much better speakers for much less.
