I signed on to Audiogon just to post this, as this is really amusing. I too heard this system both in Axpona and again at Newport. Let's assume that Robert Harley was smoking something. Then another gentleman from Absolute Sound who appeared to be totally sober just posted this:
"FM Acoustics, Polymer, Weiss
The best sound of all the point sourcesand possibly the best sound of the showdeservingly goes to the $130k FM Acoustics 115 monoblock amplifiers paired with the new Polymer MKS-X loudspeakers ($60k/pr.). These monoblocks fed the 4-ohm MKS-Xs with 500W of power, and will continue driving down to 1 ohm (and below, according to FM). The Polymers require some serious damping to control their woofers, and the FM 115s handled their hunger with aplomb and gusto, ready to deliver more when necessary. A Weiss Man 301 Music Server ($9500) and Weiss Jason Transport ($24k) were fed into a Thrax Maximinus DAC ($33k) and controlled by the FM Acoustics 245 preamp ($25.5k), all of which sat atop the amazing Krolo Design rack ($6400) and were connected by Enklein David and T-Rex cables. The very large room definitely allowed the Polymers to stretch out, as the soundstage was the deepest, most accurate presentation of the show. It was so deep, in fact, that I wished the Polymers could have been even farther apart to allow the soundstage width to match its depth. The deep, rectangular listening-position setup was the cause of this deeper-than-wider sensation. The FM 115s drove the MKS-Xs with such ease, though, that the normally difficult reproduction of my favorite reference music, Ludovico Einaudis In a Time Lapse, was a breeze for these incredible monoblocks."
I can't say I disagree since I already ordered a pair of the MKS-X and waiting for delivery.
