Default 2301 Review
I posted this announcement yesterday on Ak, and didn't know until today why there was only one response! It might also be that there isn't much interest in these guys... but Chuck Hinton says that Harry Pearson has written a review of the MC2301s that will appear in the June issue of Absolute Sound, and there will be some kind of award announcement forthcomming in the May issue. So if this interests you, stay tuned! Ted.

Well they are apparently winning some kind of award, so somebody liked what they heard!

I thought it was weird that I saw this post here.

I thought somehow i got s crossed connection to AK, that was freaky.

Welcome Yardbird, I look forward to reading that review.

That's nice Harry will be doing a review -- needless to say, I'm not buying based on his print.
