80B,
When I said to Mike at AC that I would have to try to listen to them, he told me : " you owe it to yourself ". That's exactly what I think now : you owe to yourself to listen to these speakers !!
They were not available on demo at Paris. I called the importer and he sent a pair to a dealer so I could listen to it. Maybe you could do the same ?
Anyway, if you come to Paris you're warmly invited to stay home and sleep in my listening room. You will have the opportunity to spend some time with them to relax in the evenings after visiting Paris all day long !
It' s always amazing when you hear systems costing a fortune and you don't feel you're missing something compared to your own system.
I'm quite sure that many great speakers that were displayed at this show would have sounded better with McIntosh electronics. Usually I like Proac speakers a lot for example, but today they were driven by SIMAUDIO electronics and an other high end brand I don't remember the name, and they sounded awful.
PMC and McIntosh are a match made in heaven and I will never be enough grateful towards Dan ( jdandy ) and Mike Sastra from AC who made me discover this wonderful line of speakers.
Cheers,
Jérôme
