A few visitor comments....

●  "My video notes failed me in The Beatles Room because I was so blown away by a playback of an unreleased Beatles song, complete with studio chatter, given to the presenter here. The video was obscure because of the darkness, but l later realized the loudspeaker was a rarely seen Manger 109 AG monitor. The Manger driver is a unique nearly full-range design that extends out to 35 kHz. The monitor is $12.5k in wood or $15k in piano black as shown here. They were placed on Boston Audio Design TuneBlocks which appear light grey with the photo flash. The Manger was being driven by the Delta Sigma North Pole Series integrated amplifier which is said to be flat to 3MHz and sells for $27000. It is rated at 150 wpc, but claims 2000 watts on peaks, Class AB. The source was an equally expensive Bow Technologies ($18000) CD player (v2008). Sometimes the music just transports you and in this case it took me all the way back to the Sixties. This was one of the golden (lifelike) moments of the show for me." - Rick Becker, enjoythemusic.com

●  "At the recent show in Las Vegas I spent some time in your room and came away very impressed with the Delta Sigma integrated amplifier on display.  I've heard the Manger speakers any number of times (over ten) and have never heard them sound as good as on that day. I've heard some good integrateds in the past, but that one may be the finest yet—superbly transparent sounding.” - Editor "XXX"

●  The Manger 109-AG Silver surpassed a system using $120K Symposium (ribbon + multiple cone bass tower) loudspeakers except for the deepest bass.

●  People in hallway hearing a jazz piano trio CD playing came into our suite thinking we had an actual piano due to the extreme purity of the Delta Sigma amplifier & SINE "Kosmos" cables & AC cords.

●  A reviewer played Norah Jones “Come Away With Me” – best he has ever heard this track.

●  Overwhelming praise and awe when playing Nat King Cole’s “Stardust” – so clear, pure & lifelike. The natural richness of his voice was so accurately & vividly real thanks in part to the OTL-like purity of the Delta Sigma amplifier!

●  An ultra high-end reviewer never heard the BOW ZZ-8 sound as awesome!

●  Visitors thought BOW ZZ-8 was SACD from the extraordinary sonic quality of the entire system!

Thanks to all who visited and the wonderful comments of our ultra high-performance musical system!

Bow ZZ-8 CD player

Redesigned in 2008 for true reference quality in a sleek, contemporary Danish chassis.

Dual mono 24/192 DACs for audiophile qualities + a magical liquid transparency that is so clear, pure & musical with world class dynamics!

Surpasses the $70k digital system we used at CES2008!

Delta Sigma

"North Pole" Special Edition Integrated Amplifier

(Dual-Mono "Ocean" Linestage + Dual-Mono "North Pole" Amplifier)

State-of-the-art from Italy featuring a 3Mhz circuit & ultra stable unlike lesser designs!

Combines an OTL-like liquid midrange purity with shocking bass control/dynamics and an open/airy soundstage in a handcrafted 150w/ch dual-mono chassis. Lightning fast accuracy from its' 3Mhz design!

Simply...the absolute best! 

Manger 109-AG Piano Gloss Black

Arguably the finest 2-way stand monitor available.

The Manger MSW driver is faster than even ribbons for shocking transparency, resolution and transient accuracy!

The "AG" Silver Edition includes Mundorf Silver/Oil capacitors, silver internal wiring & WBT "AG" connectors.

Frequency Response: 35-35Khz

SINE signal and AC cables

Advanced technology from carbon powder filled tubes (to dampen micro-vibrations & eliminate RFI/EMI) to custom alloys that are more conductive than pure silver or copper created by 8-step annealing/deep cryo process.

Also 6N Silver (Aerospace grade) AC cords (w/platinum connectors & aluminum end barrels for resonance control) and signal cables. All deep cryoed.

Truly, a new reference in cables!

TAS (April,2008) - Jonathan Valin

"The Manger 109-AG ($12.5k; 35-35Khz) is a handsome stand mounted two-way equipped with the Manger bending-wave transducer (which is rather like a spherical planar) operating from 140hz-35Khz and a ScanSpeak 8: bass driver below 140Hz."

(Driven by Delta Sigma analog 3Mhz integrated amplifier - $25k)

"Marc Cohn's touching "Perfect Love" sound nearly perfect, with superb imaging size and height, very fine detail, and lovely timbre. The sound was liquid, without much power in the bass but with decent balance none the less."

Delta Sigma Integrated Amplifier (3-3Mhz) ($25k)

Manger ZeroBoz 109-AG Silver Edition Loudspeaker ($12.5k)

A few after show ruminations that featured Manger loudspeaker driven by the Delta Sigma 3Mhz Integrated amplifier...

During CES while playing a Three Blind Mice CD of a jazz piano trio, many from the hallway entered our suite thinking we had a real piano – a testament to the real, natural tonal purity of the Delta Sigma/Manger amp/speaker combination.

A flamenco CD absolutely astounded visitors with the explosive dynamics and “hearing/seeing” the dancer's boots striking the wood floor thanks to the extraordinary speed, resolution & dynamics of the Delta Sigma/Manger products.

The dynamics pressurized the chest via the Manger AG monitors!

One high end dealer commented he was not impressed with the sound at CES until he visited our room on the last day. He had never heard a successful implementation of the Manger driver but our exhibit was “astonishingly fast and clean with great leading edge yet not grainy or lean”. He was particularly taken by the Delta Sigma amp and the overall great sound we achieved.

We humbly agree.

Thanks to all who visited!
