The Absolute Sound posted a review of the RMAF and mentioned the Salk room two thirds down the page.  He liked the Exoctica 3.

Yep, and the AVA FetValve is mentioned in the last paragraph.

Reading the comments, it seems like the guy is mostly concerned about the soundstage and its depth in particular.

I was surprised too.  I then noticed that he mentioned the Exotica's as one of four items under the title "Auspicious Debuts".  RMAF is a very large show.  He must have been impressed.

Nearly a month after RMAF, but a nice write-up nonetheless.  Those are some beautiful speakers (sigh).
