I would say that three stood out. The Eficions at THE Show, the Tidal Contrivas, and the YGs in the Synergistic Research suite. I think the Tidal pushed ahead of the others once the Ypsilon amps broken in on Sunday. The Sunrays got promising by Sunday although I think the Bridge Audio electronics were not really not suited for these speakers. They would have been my fourth best. I was also impressed by the Perfect8s, but they are just unconscionably expensive. I neglected to hear the Vandersteens. The Vienana Audio speakers were also acceptable. Nothing else tooted my horn.
Ptmconsulting, I heard them and thought they were okay but certainly nothing I would ever have in my house.
Changster, I would have listened to the Rockports but they were too far away.
My listening to the Magicos was immediately after the bass overloaded Sumiko suite with six Rail subwoofers. They think shaking the building is fidelity. By comparison the Magico suite was tipped upward. As usual the YGs were in an awful room, but Synergistic Research showed what they could do.
What I really would have love to hear would have been broken in Tidal Sunrays with Tidal electronics. I would not have been able to afford them, but I think they would have told me what was possible in audio today.
