@soix At Axpona 2018 the JA Pearl 3s were paired with the Rowland Daemon Integrated Amp, Cardas Clear Beyond XL PCs and Cardas Clear cabling, with the source being a Mara Reel to Reel running through a Doshi preamp. There were many systems that sounded excellent at AXPONA. I too am interested in what $10K speakers sounded better than the $31.5K Pearl 3s because I missed those rooms. I'm not saying they weren't present. I didn't listen to every room and, of course, tastes vary. But, if there are $10K speakers that others think better the Pearl 3s, I want to hear them the first chance I can get.
