Well, at the end of the day it is a personal choice. I listened to that WE-Demo at High End 2012 and beside all pros /cons there was a situation which was very unique: The room was always crowded, more smiling faces than in other rooms....of course you got the usual discussions about body size, coloration etc. but the pure tone via such speakers was really totally different to all other Systems which were present at that High end Show. There were also other Horn Designs available (Avantgarde for example and some others I forgot) but none had that tone. Is it based on the drivers, the metal housing...who knows...it is definitely a kind of technology which is no longer present in western hemisphere.Maybe it can be only serviced entertainment (those were Cinema Speakers) but when yes, it makes fun compared to modern "High End".Sometimes I think, High End only has the name and the pricing, when you go to the chassis manufacturers and ask for those chassis, they are very far away from their top products. Their top chassis are mainly ordered from Professionals (for Rock groups for example) and the Shows for that kind of customers is a total different chapter, from technology, price and from technical knowledge.anyway, there is also a comment from a reviewer that there was only one room which was in a way comparable, Auditorium 23, with new, rebuilt Klangfilm Eurodyn (?), but I also listened to those and got no idea what they are good for. No idea about their pricing, maybe it is also a product for some selected customers who want simply something different (like Shindo electronics or Kondo speakers)....
1 female voice +1 guitar is not enough for me at such demos
