With the history of the Vox Olympian at Munich and 18 best of shows from so many publications it may be best to stay with the M77 and Gakuoh. Kevin spent years designing with this piece as a "System" I know the words from Peter of Audio Note UK "Most of the time it is a letdown and time consuming. System approach is the best way to have a correct sound that the original designer intended you to have" With Kevin the M77 and Gakuoh, Kondo cables were his "System" for years . He has spent endless hours fitting the Vox to the Kondo so changing would mean you are starting from scratch and on your own in many ways. It is interesting that Kevin has had the Kagura on display for two years at Munich but he still used the Gakuoh exclusivly on the Vox. Makes you think.
Here are clips I kept of many of the quotes from Munich on the Vox. Effortless, Large-Scale, Cinemascope Image Size, 104db efficient, No Limitations on big songs, impossible to beat Dynamic Sound, Authority, Sure-Footed, Layers, Big and Airy, Beautiful with a NON-Horn Sound, Musically Engaging, Coherent, Unrestrained, No Fatiguing, Organic, Lifelike, Warm, Beautiful, Invisible, Room Disappears, Good Color, Bloom, Power, Speed, Focus, It generates thunderous phenomenal low bass, and I mean really low, high impact, Refined, Makes Music Out Of Thin Air with beautiful Kondo sound, Creates 3D Images, It is The Top Reviewed Munich Show Sound 2015, 2016, 2017. Absolutely captivating, music flowing into space effortlessly, I have never heard sheer realism like this, Light years ahead of anything else, It was a listening experience that brought home just how constrained most speakers are and how much distance they introduce between the performance and the listener. “Laughably” better than anything else at the show” No horn or speaker at the Munich show, could deliver that sound. Best male and female vocals I've heard from a horn system. I heard Seamless integration of the three upper horns and never - ever heard better. Jonathan Valin said it is on a different level than ANYTHING else. The bass floats and envelops, full of texture and layered harmonics. Instruments take on the full weight, complexity power and subtlety. WHY MESS WITH SUCCESS!
