RE: Has anyone heard the new JansZen's?

Obviously a subjective call. I only heard the ones at the Chicago Axpona this spring.

What I heard was way too bright and small. The sound came from knee cap level. For some reason the exhibitor put on the band Chicago. It was so shrill and piercing I made a face and started walking out. He saw me, offered to put on something else, but it too was shrill and tiny and low to the floor.

The Axpona exhibits were almost universally horrendous sounding. Five hundred thousand dollar systems with boomy bass and zero imaging and soundstaging. Anyone who doubted the sanity of the high end would have ammunition to support their intuitions after attending this show.

One of the few exceptions at the show was the Kings. Awesome midrange!! Definitely better than my Maggies.

I assume a better room, better set up and some kind of stand could have helped the JanZen sound better.
