Thanks for pointing it - these are really great news. I was very pleased to read Something similar occurred in listening to Murray Perahia’s recording on CBS Masterworks of the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3. I also use this recording for evaluation - it is the first recording that a good friend always plays when he invites me to listen any recent changes in his system. And it is a great interpretation!

Wow, that's exciting! Even as a high-end "bargain" they are out of reach for me, but I have got to go hear them when my local (sort-of) dealer gets them. I am anxious to read technical details...

It will be interesting. I reviewed the 20.1s and a close friend owned them them for some time. While they were great speakers, ESP. for the price, there will some things they couldn't do. Plus they really needed a battleship for an amp to drive them and control the bass panel-and that was in a smallish room. I imagine they could do a little better in a larger room but would like to hear the transparency of mods improved, as well as the amount of air and dynamics. And even padded down the tweeter can be ruthlessly revealing.Originally Posted by Steve Williams
"Bah Humbug!" Is this Jim Wineys' attempt to go after the loose change in the pocket of the" one-per-centers?" Or is it another magnificent product within the reach of the '"average guy?"

God bless you JIM.(as of this writing final price has not been determined, but the factory seems intent on retaining or not appreciably raising the cost from the current $13,000 for a 20.1).

Nice to see another review which points out how much potential there is in audio playback, once people put away their prejudices about the "theoretical" capabilities of equipment ...
