Believe High Fidelity Munich High End Show Coverage

All of my top 5 from Munich were well setup and have great soundstage and image. While I am not a big Wilson fan, this year the combo of Wilson and Constellation was very different in a way that had more appeal to me. As a tube lover, I find SS to be very transparent, but verydry/lean and fatiguing.

Constellation is among the few SS brands that do SS better than most. The sound in this room at the show was much more musical. It kept the SS transparency with seemingly zero distortion, but had tonality, body, and bass extension I often dont get at these shows. Even more surprising is that it accomplished all of these virtues without any room treatment and killed many rooms that did.

While the digital was just a touch brittle for my taste the separation of vocals and instruments was dead on. There was great depth to the music and seamless coherency. I liked it quite a bit and if I had more time I would have given it another round
Wow!!! Well stated, and thank you again for your most coveted and well informed insights.
