I'm. It a fan of the white leather. Maybe the mcintosh version will look nicer.

Just got back from the Munich show and we spent hours listening to the Lilium speakers. I can´t say I've ever heard a better sounding speaker. The TAD R1 is up there, but the 160 cm tall Italian creation moved me in a way that only perfectly curved things can do...

Cool. I'd love to attend that show someday. What were they being driven with? ARC?

We listened to them in two configurations. One with the new Galileo series from Audio Research (2-ch set up). And also in a 7.0 ch, all McIntosh set up.

Interesting that woofer on top of the speaker. I wonder what is the impact on the overall sound.

I think that it is the passive one. The active is in the bottom.

I need to see it in person. The Aida looks wonderful but the Venere and Olympica are not really my cup of tea.

I still believe that my Elipsa SE has the best look except for the Strad !

Now, it is the sound that matters the most and I've never been more moved by a speaker than by a SF. It's more than sound with SF, it's emotion. I hope they have kept that.

Fully Agree: I love my Elipsa SE and can't see how it can be viewed as part of new "corporate mentality" has the traditional elipsa/strad look. More outstanding is that my wife made me buy it.
