We had a great show at CES 2010.  I co-exhibited with Karl Schuemann of Audio Machina - www.audiomachina.com.  His high-performance and high-end speakers are truly some of the best I have heard, regardless of price.  They are all hand-made and of the highest caliber.  We showed with the Maestros at $49K/pr and his new small monitors, at $8K/pr.

I love the excellent Modwright 150 Power Amps every time I hear them. Dan Wright just does not miss no matter what he builds. These 84lb. beauties sound like the finest tube amps with power to spare… and there's not a tube to be seen! With 150 watts into 8ohms and 250 watts into 4 ohms, they are up to any task. I have not heard all solid-state amps, but I have heard many costing three and four times what these do and not sounding one whit better. These would be the solid-state amps I'd buy if I were in the market for a tip top amplifier with both delicate nuances with really big balls, too. Made in the USA!!

More to follow and those who attended, please also share your comments.

Thanks,

I was checking out those speakers. They are truely state-of-the-art. I wonder if anyone has made speaker enclosures out of SS, rather than aluminium? I widh I could hear the Machinas with the the Modwright pre/amp.

I have to think that this would be cost-prohibitive, as the body of the speaker enclosure LITERALLY starts out as a piece of solid AL billett.  It then has the recesses for the drivers machined out, etc.  To do this with SS would be almost impossible I should think.

They are among the best speakers that I have heard at any price.

The Maestros that we showed with retail for just over $50K/pr. I believe.

Thanks,

Dan
