Acapella Triolon Excalibur speakers at RMAF 2007


Does anyone else care to comment on the sound of the Acapella Triolon Excalibur $170,500.00 per pair speakers? This is Brian Ackerman's, of Aaudio Imports full $600K, personal reference system. I have heard the Acapella Triolon Excalibur's driven by Audionet AMP's in Shanghai and felt that they were underachievers and a complete disappointment for their asking price. It sounds like Gawdbless was equally disappointed with them, especially considering their asking price but I would like to hear from others who have had a chance to hear them at the Rocky Mountain AudioFest show to get their impression and to see if they would drop $600K for the Aaudio Imports/Brian Ackerman "reference" system yet alone $170.5K for the Acapella Triolon Excalibur speakers. I await the opinion of those of you at the show who have heard this "Mega" DOLLAR system to see if it does indeed deliver the $600K goods or if it's more about "Pride of Ownership" than substance. Let us know your thoughts show goers. At least one show reporter has substantiated my original listening impressions. What did the rest of you guys hear from the Acapella Triolon Excalibur speakers and the sound of the complete Brian Ackerman/Aaudio Imports reference system at RMAF 2007????

The Apogees at the show had one of the (If not the) sweetest mid-range to my ears, but seemed a little bass shy. I would've liked to have spend lots more time In the Triolons room and to have played some of my own cd's. I think I may cleared the room If I asked him If he would play the 'Stolen babies' cd.
lol. I mentioned Violins sounded really nice, but I forgot to mention that the female voice being played sounded nice to my ears also, although I do not know the cd or singer. I regret not asking him to play the Cecilia Bartoli cd I took, but he seemed like he was really busy and the room was rather full (understandably) with fellow hi-fi lovers.
I am glad that we have sorted out the price from a hefty $600,000 down to a mere $373,000. Now I can sleep easy at night.lol

Hey Brian I would dearly love to hear the Trilons In a more natural setting. I thought female vocals and solo violin sounded really good.
