System view. This combination (VA, Mac, Transparent) produces incredible bass. No subwoofer required!

Chordette USB DAC with Bluetooth capability. Along with Transparent's new USB cable and AIFF music file, it sounds surprisingly good!

Great thing happen when Transparent cables are in the system.

I don't understand why one would want to rotate the midrange driver while the tweeter stays put on the bottom part of the cabinet? I'd imagine that would introduce time and phase errors between the two.

Is that paint chipped and peeling on the Nautilus or is that just the picture?

I saved the best for last.

Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand, MCD301, MEN220, & MC402.

I finally got the chance to meet Ron-C. What a guy. I wish I could stay longer. He did an awesome job demoing the MEN220. This piece is incredible. Everyone should audition it

Thanks for looking!

The rotating module is a concentric driver that goes all the way down to 100Hz. What you see in the lower cabinet along with 3 woofers is the supertweeter that operates in frequency humans cannot hear .

The Nautilus was in pretty bad shape. Chipped paint and dented drivers
