Best new € 3000/pr speaker at Munich unquestionably goes to WLM's new LaScala. I loved their Diva Monitor and was quite critical of their flagship. But this addition at the bottom of the range kicks well above its price and out of the park. There's a tower and a monitor (€2500/pr for the latter) and both use a Visaton paper tweeter and Visaton mid/woofer.
Designer Martin Schützenauer and CEO Hannes Frick have much reason to be proud.At 93dB, the 40-watt Almarro monos did a bang-up job of energizing a large space, meaning that in a more real-sized room, this would be a true dream combo.
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Grills will be optional so those going nekkid won't suffer the usual mounting holes in the baffle. To keep the price in the desired niche, WLM will offer only one finish for the two LaScala models, i.e. European Cherry. Works for me. Here's another must-review item I've already pencilled in my growing list for 2008. It'll be quite the year too, I predict.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]So who did we forget? At least 60% of folks and gear if not more. I'm not kidding. There was far too much to see to keep track of it all without losing one's sanity in total Terminator mode. But then there are show reports elsewhere. They should fill our gaps. From a lust bump, reviewer greed, contact-high perspective, the standout products for me were the little Yarland EL-84 integrated; the WLM LaScala tower; the Audio Physic Scorpio II; Jean Hiraga's speakers; Esoteric's A100; and the Almarro 6C33C monos. The companies I hope to be working with on reviews include AcousticPlan, Allnic, Emillé and TruLife Audio. I already know I'll be 'doing' Franck's new cables. Whatever else happens as a result of having visited shall be grist for the mill and welcome surprises.[/FONT]
