I got to attended AV123's SoCal get together yesterday. It was a blast and I got to meet Mark Schifter, I am suppressed how down to earth and laid back he is. He reminds me of a modern day Robin Hood. He was piratically throwing money out of his pocket at us. At the end of the night he basically did, Mark gave away so many prizes it was unbelievable.
The highlight of my night was getting to listen to the Strata Mini's. Awesome speaker for $2000.00, I was very impressed with them and just how close they sound to martin logan's. There not a replacement for electrostat's but damn close in sound quality. I like that the imaging was similar but did not have the narrowed sweet spot or the problem listing off axis's.
I also got to spend some time with the "BMF subwoofer".
And yes it is a Big Mother F***er.
The room it was in was very small but this thing could literally push all the air out of the room. It was amazing on Master and Commander how the firing of the cannons would push all the air across the room and up your body to the ceiling. I have never felt a sub do anything like this before. It was a prototype and we did clip the amp once or twice but that was because they are still tuning it. It was impressive to say the least.
