[quote user="Gregm"] It's better than a Marten Supreme because the mid is cut off @500Hz whereas Marten cuts it off at 1,3kHz "where the ear is at its most sensitive". Note: they must be referring to latest technology ears -- not the tradi...

Dear Romy, The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Magico and s...

[quote user="morricab"]It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. Personally, ...

1) No, the cabinet is not 10K more. It's 19.5K more... and not even Baltic Birch, but Douglas Fir. Again, with a long justification about the special laquer finish used how expensive it is, how long it takes to apply, etc....
