RMAF Loudspeakers?

Grant- Did you get a chance to hear that new GR speaker w the small Dodd battery amp and battery passive tube pre/buffer?

No. There were many rooms that offered interesting experiences, but if I can't afford the stuff, or there's a barrier to entry (e.g. kit), then I'd rather not spend the time.

I really want to like the Zu speakers. I like the passion of the company. I like the fact they're made in the USA. I like the attention to detail. However, I can't warm up to the speakers for some reason. I think I'm growing tired of uber resolution and fatiguing top ends.

Those GR speakers were amazing. They were also $5500. as they sat, assembled into those black cabinets. The gray cabinets were about $500. more. I believe the power rating of the servo-woofers was 370 wpc. Also, Danny has no problem doing the assembly himself into whatever color cabinets you want, for a small fee, and sending them pretty much anywhere.
I believe he called them the "super-Vee" and said they would be on his website in a few weeks. He called them his "fun" speakers.

The GR room is my pick for the best "value" at the entire show, and 1 of the 5 top rooms I heard. The all-Esoteric room was also a top-5 for me - I had never heard the MG-20 with its magnesium drivers. Now I understand why it has garnered so many awards - a very good deceptively small speaker. It should have an excellent WAF as well.

Tvad,
As I understand, you don't want to reveal your speakers choice yet?

Maril555, I have not made a choice yet, so there's nothing to reveal.

Were the Classic Audio speakers at the show the ones using the field coil driver technology?

That is something truly unique and different that I would love to hear.
