I thought I would share this new table with the crew here. Acoustic Signature Ascona with a NOS SME 3012R (thanks Dr. Steve). Don't mind all the Lamm gear on the floor, stands coming soon. AS1.JPG AS2.JPG AS3.JPG

Don't hijack my thread.....

Just kidding. Honestly I thought the Jeff Castalano's room sounded wonderful and these speakers really blew me away:

Unexpected because I'd never seen them before. There is something about field coil speakers, I always seem to dig them.

Ha- only to my friends :)

I enjoyed the AG, Cessaro, and Acapella rooms - all on quite diff amplification and all quite different. The new XD tech in the AGs seems quite an improvement. I couldn't believe Acapella was using a 100k integrated- yeesh .

The Acapella room was excellent. I love the Einstein amps of our mutual friend with his Wilsons, but I've never like the pairing with the Acapella. The Acapella system at the Show was the best I've ever heard.
