Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...?

Agree on Vapor. Need more than one two people with one two posts behind them touting. Interesting if true.

Hey guys, I'm the owner of Vapor Audio. How about this for a testimonial by Steve Nugent of Emperical Audio:

I attended the demo....Cirrus was fantastic, and Ryan must have known by the smile on my face that he's going to have to build one more speaker this year.

Your experience with the Nolas mirrored mine exactly - sounded pretty fine from outside the room and with walking in - I even noted that it sounded nice - but then i sat down and the played some more tunes - an absolute bloody mess, almost unlistenable.

Also agree on the Totems - sounded spectacular with that Rogers (think that's what it was) tube amp. Interestingly, here in Toronto (their home country) they were demonstrating the exact same speakers with Bryston electronics and the sound was horrible.

As for the Sashas, I was surpised by them since other Wilson speakers don't usually move me. Thought they sounded best in that Doshi room - that certainly turned my head (never had heard of Doshi before and wasn't expecting much from the Wilsons).

Yep, someone who's opinion I respect immensely said Wilson finally got the Watt/Puppy right with the Sashas. I always thought the WP could be great if not for it's fatal flaws with rough sandpaper vocals and almost buzzy strings and over-jazzy brass. (I guess those are pretty big faults, though.)
So did the RMAF Sashas ameliorate those things?
