Like all time, a speaker doesn't make sound for itself. Room, electronics, setup skills.... I am sure at Munich HE the Reference Ultra's will sound different with the typical YS Sound/Schnerzinger setup.

Gideon told me Zellaton will feature the new Reference speakers in Munich, which I am keen to hear! I plan on spending time at Audio Arts NYC in June to provide deeper insights into the Emotions of listening through our own WestminsterLab electronics and will file an update on this very promising addition to the Zellaton line.
