There were three speakers at the show I really, really liked: SS8, YG ANAT III, KEF Blade. The SS8 and YG sound more neutral to me than the KEF Blade. Had I been there to buy speakers, I would have left with the SS8 and the Salk Silk without a doubt. The only speaker I listened to that impressed me as much as the SS8 was the YG ANAT III. Considering the YG is $111,000 more than the SS8, I would easily call the SS8 the best of show.
The finish on those Salk speakers is outstanding. The pictures really don't do the finish any justice.
