I found myself in the Chicagoland area last Saturday, and Brian Walsh (of Essential Audio) did a specatcular demo of the Soundlab U-1PX's being driven by Atma-Sphere monoblocks (MA-2) for me that blew my socks off!Spinning discs on an AMR CD player and playing through a Bricasti DAC - I really understood what Soundlabs brings to the party (especially driven well by the OTL's!).
What was truly amazing is that with large scale orchaestral works, not only did the instruments sound right, but you could hear clearly them coming fomr the correct sections of the orchestra. If you closed your eyes to listen then opened them up, it was jarring since you were in the listening room and not a large concert hall.
I cought my flight back home knowing that Soundlab really delivers on the promise of Quad and others. Now, to attend to the "penny saving" required ...
