        I honestly wasn't too impressed with it at CES. I've heard $15,000 systems that sound better.

          CES is great for eye candy but, is notorious for mediocre sound out of great equipment. There are so many variables, number of people in the room, are they playing music you like, poor acoustics, how many other rooms you already visited, etc. Having said that, I have heard some of their less expensive speakers and felt that they should stick to what they do well, electronics.
          I don't know about the speakers but, I think their cd transport and DAC are fantastic. Have fun.

            Well I didn't get all the individual cost, but the overall cost is around $200K with cables.
            The speakers alone are 80K for the pair.

            Let me say WOW!!!! the system is Great!!!!!! until now the best setup I heard
            was a Naim system with Wilson Watt Puppies. this rig lived up to all the hype.

            I don't remember all the numbers but the say the amps (4) are the quietest amps on the
            Planet. Each side consist of two amps, amp and "anti amp". That's right "anti amp"
            Basically one amp inverts the music signal which in conjunction with the other
            cancels out noise, the system is also fully balanced.
            It will reside in the store, so I'll be able to go back and listen.

            Sorry I didn't take my camera ops:
