Went to a hifi show today in Switzerland...

The best sounding room by far was the room with all Ypsilon gear, including the speakers.

This system had it all, dynamics, transparency, even and scarily accurate tone and that indescribable feeling that absolutely nothing is being missed from the recording.

It was a digital system with their very expensive tube and transformer loaded NOS DAC and transport feeding their "baby" integrated amplifier the Phaeton, which is a hybird with transformer interstage coupling.

The speakers were Ypsilon design and a three-way of moderate height but very deep with a a 10 inch bass driver, a 6 inch mid and a ribbon tweeter of their own making. The mid and bass were from the former Skanning brand (now called something else) out of Denmark.

I have NEVER heard a more or less conventional speaker do dynamics like i heard from this system...only some horns I have heard do it better but they mostly don't capture what the rest of this system did...WOW!

IMO, Ypsilon is playing truly in the uppermost echelon of high end electronics and now speakers.
