Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report
For prototype speakers, the IMC Audio model, to be introduced in January, took the cake and then ran away with it.  Remarkable.  I really hope they catch on.  Photo here.https://audio-head.com/imc-audio-pass-labs-and-audience-caf-2018/  
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@donquichotte  Hmmm, this is always difficult, but to me the Classic 100 gave a more full-bodied sound, right across the spectrum from treble to bass.  There was more there there.  The illusion of being in the same hall with a large group of instr...
