What's your greatest purchase...
Sound Lab Ultimate-1s. Had been through quite a few speakers until purchasing these, and later became a dealer for them. 
Dali MegaLine overviews from owners ?
One of my customers has Megalines. The driver quality appears to be good, but the jumpers and connectors between the three sections appear to be poor, not befitting a $50k speaker, and I must assume the internal wiring and connections are similar.... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
55dok, I may be mistaken but only some of the Dayton Wright XG-10 Mk IIs have leaf tweeters. That's what mine are. They have the XIM-11 interface module which I think is what you are referring to as well - it puts out 15 kV bias voltage instead of...

The updates are to these pre-production units ('beta' versions) which were built late last year, to bring them up to date with the production units. The updates are related to the OptiMains unit and a couple of other small items. The production un...

The CD-77 and AM-77 have been here since last Wednesday. They will be updated this weekend by Thorsten Loesch and will be back here next week in time for an open house May 12th. As for the sound, it speaks for itself.

Acapella vs. Avantgarde
Amfibius, which tube amplifiers did your dealer try? At CES Hermann Winters of Acapella mentioned biamping while we were listening to the High Violon Mk IIIs. Einstein The Final Cut Mk 60 monoblocks were used. Einstein amplifiers are used to voice...
