So, Guttenberg has a nice Pass amp/pre, Mola Mola DAC, a Jays Audio transport, and a — wait for it —- Node 2i streamer?  Seriously???  Which one doesn’t belong?  Sheesh. 

Given all the original thought/development that went into these along with customized and unique parts/drivers I think $3700 sounds like a pretty fair price, as long as they sound good of course.  Looking forward to impressions from anyone who gets to hear them at CAF this weekend. 

I don’t put much credence in Guttenberg’s reviews. I get much more out of his music references that he uses to review the speakers. Frankly, I trust @mapman impressions at CAF more than Guttenberg’s. When a guy like AJ puts that much time, thought, resources, and innovation into a design and is very proud of the result I’m inclined to think it sounds pretty damn good within its limitations. You can’t do a whole review of a speaker extolling it’s virtues and just throw in at the end that “oh, by the way, it sounds bright and revealing.”  To me, that wrecks the whole credibility of the review. Not that I trust his ears/judgement in the first place, so there’s that. Whatever. I’d be very interested in anyone else’s opinions who’ve heard these speakers.

Why not just get these stands from Monoprice for $80 and fill them with sand, lead shot, etc. and use a little Bluetack to keep them anchored and further minimize vibration?  Or spend $700 on Skylan Stands.  To each his own I guess.
