"Was at the show yesterday. Saw about everything there was and a few rooms twice."
"BUT..regardless of all the first floor heavyweight systems, one room, for me, was easily best of show at any price."
"Aretai on the 2nd floor."
"Aretai had their mid model Contra 200F running in fine form powered by tiny Benchmark [AHB2] monoblocks. Stunning system. Stunning pair of speakers. Made in Latvia."
I’m seeing prices on the web around $28K. If anyone is in the market in the $15K-$40K range(or higher) I’d be running, not walking to any place where you can audition the 200F’s.
"Stunning detail, stunning soundstage, super musical, no fatigue..just give me more."
"I see the Aretai will be in two rooms at Axpona. I wish I’d be back north in time to go, but, not to be."
"I've heard many speakers over the years in the 4-figure to 6-figure range, and been to a number of audio shows. The Aretai 200F was the best I've heard yet."
