RE: Those darn measurements !

"The only thing you know about me - is a few printed words mostly about audio preferences on an audio board."

You mean a few million printed words don't you? Plenty of evidence out there aobut what you really think...unless 10 years of posting is all one big lie...is it?

"So you who touts panels endlessly forever as best is true because you have a science degree"

As I said, I am quite speaker agnostic. Now I have horns...had them in the past (Klipsch La Scalla) and now again where they have improved dramatically in terms of coloration and "horn" characteristics.

The AN room was not bad actually...just rolled off sounding and perhaps a bit "syrupy"...not enough to obscure but a light carmel coating. The amp was the Meishu Silver, which is much improved over the standard Meishu (those upgraded parts and output transformers are key). I think that Meishu Silver is probably a great amp...would love to try one at home.

It is no surprise they like to compare with cello...fits the colorations of the system nicely...gives a big, woody sound. However, if you listen to the you tube video of the system in Munich you will hear the live playing along with the recording and the system sounds clearly darker and a bit bloated.

This demo in Munich was the closest to a really good demo...and yet it lacked...

Oh, I have had my go arounds with Magnepan people in the past. they are far from the best planars. However, they are decent sounding, and other than the 20.7, they are pretty cheap so why give them a hard time? For the money they are good. Same with Eminent Tech speakers (only $2490 new!)...if I had space I would take them over a similarly priced KEF anyday.
