The Audio Physic Medea speakers were at the heart of the single most awesome moment I've ever had in the high-end hobby.
I was privileged to hear them at Immedia in Berkeley some seven years ago. They were utterly compelling, "hors classe" in a way that I've never heard a cone-driver speaker (or horn, or planar, etc.) even approximate.
The system backing the speakers, ohhh let me think - monoblock amps by SiriuS, the company that is now GamuT. The preamp was a Connoisseur Definitions v2, and LPs were spun on an Immedia "Revolution" turntable, of which too few were made. I was on the list for one such before I experienced a cash-flow discontinuity....
Wonderful speakers. Beyond my means then and now. But they are ranked among the very few products, audio or otherwise, that I wish I'd made the extra effort to know better.
Much like that girl who I really should have kissed when I was seventeen.
More wine, waiter!
cheers apo
