Both the speakers AJ had setup with 4-way active designs. They had controllable dispersion patterns via remote control. Also had cardiod bass response patterns. The HYPEX amps sounded great directly tied to the drivers. An immediate sound from well controlled drivers that I do not hear often in speakers.
The smaller speakers were driven directly by a Topping D10 DAC. The larger design was driven by a DAC/Preamp. Line level to the speakers and plugged into the wall.
Two of the best sounding speakers at the show to me.
Thanks Rich, great seeing you as always. That mini-computer you brought was tiny(!) and uber cool. I hope you sell them like hotcakes!!
While audiophiles meandering in thought I was speaking in tongues about "variable directivity" and "cardioid bass", overall, most seemed intrigued by what their ears were hearing, so I'm going to be busy for a while.
Take care.
cheers,
AJ
