dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF?

The Berlin room was really bright at RMAF. At my age when say bright, it is really bright.

First of all I am not a dealer and purchased my speakers when dc10 was manufactured in Carrboro North Carolina before their current location I know the guys and they sell me some demo items and B stock when available.

Is Steroephile trying to pump this brand up several writers really liked the room. Is the owner of Vapor trying to bash dc10audioit? who knows who actually cares?. Second, being that at RMAF one is exposed to different music genres all the time it's quite difficult: for example if old music is played with a clipped signal it sounds bright and bad it's not the speakers fault as speakers are fairly innocent and do as they are told sometimes from what i heard the room was trying to demo that you can have pretty big music with only 2 watts..I would have chosen a 60+ watt push pull or 20 watts of SET power for demos and not played certain poor recordings at RMAF. Lastly; I've been defensive because someone from Vapor? alias? decided to Bash dc10 my favorite speakers ever! Were they were on the same floor as dc10 and had a boner for each other?? My friend attended said that they played Leonard Cohen and it was transcendental experience best vocals he had ever heard..period. he also said they played the pink Panther in mono too loud and it sucked.....grow up boys!

Do the dc10s look better in person then pictures? Those traditional/horn hybrid enclosures look terrible in pics.

What do you do with the B-stock and demo items you purchase from dc-10?

There are many factors why a speaker sounds the way it does at that particular moment, especially at these shows. Finding a tonal balance that does it, is a personal preference. Best sound at RMAF? No such thing! I'm glad the Kondo guy liked the speakers, so he should buy them.

I went to RMAF to listen to the Rethm Maarga, as my price point is up to ($12K). My favorite speaker before walking in was the Horning Aristoteles. After listening to the Horning's at the show I still enjoyed them, so my basis. The Maarga's were ultra relaxed to my ears with an incredible depth of soundstage. The speakers were far away from the back wall, so that made sense. However, as I thought they sounded beautiful, not my cup of tea (tonal balance).

The Berlins did it for me tonally (Sunday), so they struck the balance that pleases my brain. This must include the source components and the recording(s). What's really important to me, is that dc10audio has a dealer in Denver as well as other locations. This allows for confirmation of sound. I can use my amp! Most other contenders require that I hit the road, but that may not be practical or possible for me.
