Best of CES 2014

Hi Hiker

The speakers we were demoing were the MIDDLE T's not the Model T's.

The Middle T's in Vinyl are $4695 and in Wood add $800

The Model T's in vinyl are $6495 and in Wood $7495

The Mini T's are $2695 in vinyl and add $800 for Wood

In order to keep things simple going forward the Model T Series will be available in WOOD only as a stock item and Vinyl will be special order.

The A Series will be available in VINYL only and Wood will be special order.

Thank you James. I believe you are making a smart marketing move by offering the T's in wood as standard finish. I am interested in the Middle T in wood and believe it is a very good value for what you get. Mike was apparently much impressed with the sound of the Middle T at CES 2014.

Hiker - definitely try to find a place to audition. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I thought they cost at least double when I spoke with James.

Nice write up Mike. About the only thing I would mention is that the Raidho micro speakers were very impressive.

How about some additional categories?

Best booth babe

Best bar

Best menu item

Mike did you listen to the AZ Crescendo's hooked up to the LA P-845 mono's? I saw they were paired up.

YES! When you get a minute, read my Best of CES 2014. The LA-845's on the AZ speakers stopped me in my tracks. The entire LA setup with the AZ was a big highlight for me. I went back 5 times, so oh yeah, I loved that room. The LA gear was one of the best I heard all week. Very reasonably priced too.

Favorite NEW Solid State Amps
... the winner for me was the Pass XA160.8’s. They are fast, dynamic, punchy with quick bass, a terrific midrange and much better separation than the XA.5 series. These amps are going to be a hit for Nelson & Co. A pair of XA60.8’s might just be the ticket. A great balance between sonics and heat!

Which speakers were they driving? What was the source?

I've seen all Leo Yeh's pictures (MY-HIEND.COM) from CES 2014, and I saw a bunch of similar speaker designs, but I'm just not sure if one of them was a DeVore speaker. It would take quite some time to revisit them all.
I bet you would like to know the source and the pre-amplification and amplification and cables used with them?
I might do it again, then I might not. :)
 
John was there with his new Gibbon-X speakers driven by VTL amps. Sounded very punchy and easy to listen to. That table combo is highly underrated esp. the EMT cartridge.

Hi Mike, Did you listen to the push-pulls or the SET. Thanks, Paul
