I dunno, I'm not to impressed with this commentary about Audio Notes room at the 2004 CES...keep in mind this room was designed by AN techs, and the equipment was hand picked by them:

"We felt the smallish, monitor speakers used once again limited the body and dynamics and even the warmth of the sound in this room."

Looks like AN isn't perfect after all.

That's why I prefer mulitple drivers working together instead of one small one working it's arse off trying to do everything. All dynamics are lost.

Here's the page, do a 'find on page' for the word kondo and you'll see it.
