2008 898V was awesome....

CGR was the most memorable cigar I have smoked to date...

Lol, the system and cables to run those will be hundreds more. 850k speakers are like a Bugatti. Status symbol and high performance. Room treatment is also needed as another member points out. There are many amazing audio options out there today that are under 50k that any person on the world could hear the difference and appreciate. Still want ant to hear those things!

I haven't heard these Wilsons. They look impressive. Heard older models and they are no slouch. May get a chance to visit Wilson if we decide to work together. A lot of my work is aesthetic. In wall, hide this, hide that...Been doing more "real life" systems from another "W" company: Wisdom. Line source In Walls have been stellar . Also think the Steinway Line Source is impressive, but the Wisdom sounds better (IMO) and is a better value if you compare Line source. Steinway has some great point source systems. Forgot to mention Focal - they have had some of the best speakers I have heard, especially for the money.

Nice review Ken....Was the best cigar I have ever smoked.

I find widescreen, 2.35, the most natural format for viewing. 4:3 the most difficult, particularly on large screens. Eye sees the widescreen easiest. Again, from the viewing perspective. Can certainly understand the choice to use different ratios as an art/production preference.

Agreed JL1 is more “delicate” while 2 is in yo face!

Original release was glorious. Pure cohiba. The following years, I agree. Decent, but not what it could be. Btw, I stoked my one and only CGR this year and it was a monster - best cohiba ever. Thanks for the review!

Agree! Poor construction never equated to a good experience...

Partagas p1 OR CPE

Anything like the P1?

Holy cow how time is flying...thanks to all the FOHers who make this community what it is. Here's to another 10 years...

Merry Christmas All!
