Wilson Audio X-1 (http://www.wilsonaudio.com/products/x1/index.html)

Here is the speaker:

These are the drivers in that enclosure:

Now look at those and go find a picture of some Focal drivers.

I swear, if the colors weren't different and those drivers from X-1 didn't have Wilson Audio plastered all over them, they could pass for a new line of Focal drivers.



Also, saw this too:
Magnepan "Deal We Hope You Can't Refuse" (http://www.magnepan.com/1-800-474-1646/index.html)

Read that website and take a look at those speakers. I promise you that you have never heard a more real-to-life speaker than a magnetic-planar speaker. At $550 for the pair of Maggie MMG's, it's robbery! If you have the means, getting a set of these would really change your perception on audio reproduction and your whole approach to audio in general. If you can't afford to get them then find a Magnepan dealer near you and go give them a listen.

Wilson does use JmLab/Focal drivers, with a quite a mark-up too I might ad.

Jstas, one of George's buddies has 2 pair of the MMG's, if you didn't get a chance to hear em, maybe see if you can your next time through.

Cheers,
Russ
