Thanks to Steve for creating this forum. Like other established ultra high-end, _high-speed_ audio designs like Burmester and Spectral (not to belittle the Soulutions, Goldmunds, Constellations et al), FM Acoustics has had a long history in the field as well. The last two are the only ones I am aware of in the SS domain that also put _extreme_ emphasis on complete system design, down to the cables - e.g. see http://www.fmacoustics.com/c_dom_speakercables.html. FM Acoustics takes it one step beyond, and for example, their products come with no detachable power cords. It's hard to grasp the end-to-end design approach, but I often ask myself: could I possibly know more than them? And if specs mean anything to you and you believe in the partial value and meaning of some, Spectral and FMA are the widest bandwidth SS designs I am aware of, although I must admit I don't know what it means for others in the same class to be relatively narrower bandwidth. The FMA website is a very interesting read, and I would especially urge people to take a look at the Q&A section, if nothing else, to avoid fraud.
We have a couple of members here with exposure to FMA and are hoping to hear more from them and their own impressions. My own exposure has been mostly from friends' systems overseas, but suffice it to say I was mighty impressed; none of those few fortunate have looked elsewhere since.
