AudioMachina Stuns Reviewer
The AudioMachina Maestros are clearly and truly the best imaging speakers known to me. Revealing and neutral, they subtract nothing and add nothing. Definition is extraordinary and their level of performance is worth every penny of their five figure price. Will they yield the magical absolute sound? With today's finest amplification and sources, mostly tube I think, you will get fantastically close. With tomorrow's wonderful audiophile gear on the drawing board, the Maestros may hit the bulls-eye. They are a loudspeaker to grow with, to continuously maximize. Hey, that's what this adventure is all about. The AudioMachina Maestro: if you only want to consider the best loudspeakers in the world under $100,000, here's your very first loudspeaker to audition. Check out Robert H. Levi's entire review. GO

TAS RAVES ABOUT MAGICO V-2
The Absolute Sound, April/May 2010, Issue 202 has a rave review of the Magico V-2 speaker by Associate Editor Neil Gader. Among the review’s highlights are: “The sophisticated crossover is a masterpiece to admire, with a parts list that rivals the entire cost of many loudspeakers!...Although its coherence can give even dedicated two-ways a run for the money, the V2 truly begins to shine when you start throwing complexities its way...The totality of execution is superb. Its performance echoes the musicality of the company’s no-holds-barred efforts...The V2 may be the speaker to beat in the under-$20k bracket.”

“THE BEST” - Jonathan Valin TAS 10/09
“The words “the best” have been bandied about quite a bit in this magazine and on our website (avguide.com) and there is legitimate concern that they are being overused.

DIGITAL CABLE OF THE YEAR!
Enjoy the Music has given my favorite digital cable its best of 2010 Award. The Harmonic Tech 1.5 meter Photon Digital with the special DC Power Supply. Rick Becker writes "It brought such sonic purity to CD playback that it challenged my belief that I needed to upgrade my vintage Muse DAC. Quick on the attack as well as the decay, the space between the notes was silent except for the micro-dynamics of low level room tone when present on the recording."GO
