SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here


Seeing a few random responses in other threads, but thought it would be nice if we could have a single thread to try to consolidate at least a "best of" compilation of speaker impressions. All cost ranges. All of us "stay at home" agoners would appreciate it. Thanks much.

Here were my favorites:
1) Vandersteen 7 - very clean and brought the music to life
2) Audio Note AN-E/SPe HE - very musical and addictive
3) Studio Electic T3 - very dynamic and fun, blew many, more expensive speakers away
4) YG Acoustics Kipod - breathtaking dynamics and soundstage, wish I could afford them.
5) All of the Gershman models being used. The Sonograms have to be the best bargain out there

The Duds (IMHO)
1) Magico Q5 - Big sound but I got bored after 2 minutes
2) Magnapan 1.7 - Huh?, don't get the hype...
3) Laufer Teknik - too polite and kind of muddy
4) Teresonic - went to show thinking I would buy these.. too laid back and one-dimensional
5) Reference 3A Grand Veena - very disappointing.. sound dominated room and was slow and boring

I don't pretend to be a reviewer or have a practiced ear, I just know what I like and dislike. Take it for what it's worth
