Top Ten Speakers - 50% Ribbons & Electrostats

BruceSB · « **on:** 15 Jul 2016, 12:00 am »

Absolute Sound have given their 2016 Editors' Choice Awards ($5 to $10K range).
Out of the top ten there are two electrostats and three ribbons!
JansZen & Martin Logan electrostats.
Maggies, Raidho & Dali ribbons.
That makes 50%!!!
I guess that none of us here are particularly surprised.

New math? Seems like a lot more than ten here. And JansZen and Martin Logan are at the bottom of the list. What am I missing?

Pardon me while I wipe the egg off my face!!!!
Just assumed there were ten without counting!
Seventeen isn't it?
Sort of takes away the impact!
Thanks for being so gentle with me!!
What a let down!!
You know the really sad thing?
Everyone is going to be disappointed also!
Their hopes are going to be raised then dashed!
Sorry guys!
Thanks for pointing it out though.

All of the box speakers are obviously a typo inserted by the cleaning lady during her break period.

Doublej, they are listed by increasing price, not ranking. So Janszen and Martin Logan are not necessarily "at the bottom".

Also, the Janszen info is not up to date to reflect the name change and lowered pricing with the return to direct sales.
