There are speakers and then there are MBL 101 Xtremes. On a completely different planet. Unreal. So real!

I agree with you Mike, I have heard nothing else like the Xtreme's. It was my audio epiphany where the room was energized with music. Those four large columns just disappeared.

Mike.......Tremendous effort and much appreciated. The Mark Levinson photos and gear captured my imagination. Such clean looking gear that still holds to its roots.

Great photos, thanks Mike. Back in Magico's room I see?
. Think they need to turn down the lights in their room a bit. No fault of the photographer, but it looks impossible to take a photo in there which isn't washed out :weird:.

Were you able to see and speak with Dave? He decided to come to Axpona at the last minute.

Dave Wilson? I saw him several times walking around, but never spoke with him.

Not all the photos from day 2 have uploaded. I have approximately 200 more I'm attempting to upload.

The Magicos sounded terrific, but their room was too small.

We had a private demo of the Stromtank last night. It's clear that there was a difference and improvement going from grid/battery combo to pure battery (they couldn't do pure grid vs pure battery without unplugging everything).
But my question is, if you've spent the time and money and done the proper things in your home - like dedicated 20amp circuits, dedicated panel box, proper grounding, etc., would the improvement be as dramatic. Hotel power vs battery - hell yeah. But proper home power vs battery? How much improvement? I would be curious to try. It certainly was noticeable to all of us in the room last night.
$30k for the Stromtank. Runs for 6-8 hours. 8 plugs on the back. Batteries last 20 years.
Impressed.

The Stromtank was one of the more interesting products I saw at last years RMAF. The man behind the product is Wolfang Meletzky the "M" in MBL. If my dealer gets on in I might try and demo it in my system.

Jim - it definitely makes an audible difference when comparing some hotel power + battery power vs straight battery power.

Always a great time to get together with other audio buddies to enjoy good food and some vino!
