the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF


Hey, first off, full disclosure. I'm a friend of Sjofn Hifi, but have no financial interest in their business. OK, that said, was anyone at RMAF and went into room 427 to listen to (the clue)? I was there helping out for the weekend and the first time I heard it I was stunned. I'm interested in hearing anyones comments about what they thought...

Anyone hear anything else they loved?
128x128sumadoggie
86.5dB; 28-32hz (room dependent) up to 32khz (or higher I believe); 103dB SPL; not dropping below 4.2 Ohm

I can't remember the cabinet dimensions off the top of my head, but they were about 14" high x 12" deep x 10" wide. The speakers were simply placed atop normal, no-frills speakers stands with fairly inexpensive damping feet under the cabinets. Spikes also would have been fine. Funny enough, because the carpet was so smooshy in the hotel room, we had to run out to Lowes to get some thin fiberboard to stabilize the stands. So, no effort was made to especially damp them from the floor. The cabinets are extremely inert.

All those numbers are from memory from the weekend and I believe they are accurate. For a more complete discussion of "the clue", you can contact Lars Erickson at Lars@sjofnhifi.com
I popped by to room to 'get a clue' and was pleasantly surprised. Very even sound. I listened to one of my audition tracks there and left with a smile. Nice job for the price ($999, I believe).
Hey Texas. It's great that you enjoyed the design and the sound. The $999 was a "show special" and it has returned to normal retail of $1500. For an official statement on the current price, anyone whom is interested should contact Lars Erickson through his address at the sjofnhifi.com website.

Cheers!
Arfan.......I too loved the pulsar, but at $7000 they were in a different classification. The Lsa1 statement were exceptional too. There were certain things that were missing(to my ears) but They were overall very musical and had plenty of bass. I wanted to pick up a pair at the 40% discount they were offering, But I've got speakers stacked up like cord wood at the moment.
My friend and I thought they were a joke. We were out of that room in less than a minute. We just didn't get why anyone would want to listen to these.
