Can't remember speakers I saw at CES

[2upFZ1]

For the life of me I can't remember the maker of some speakers that my wife/I listened to at the Sands/Venetian. I can't even remember which floor it was but hopefully someone remembers.

They were flat panel type with these nice tri-fold japanese screens (screens were white w/black embroidering on them) attached to the front of them. They were tall (over 6') or so.

As for which room they were in, all I remember is that they were down one of the connecting halls between the main hallways.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Sounds like magnepan tympani's to me.

Are these it?

I guess it would have helped if I had remembered if they were selling the speakers or the screens. But we just came in, sat down, and listened to 1/2 a track and hit the road to keep up with our schedule. Then after walking away did we realize just how good they sounded.

I do remember that the tri-fold screens were real thin and I could see the ribbon tweeter running from top to bottom along the inside edge of each panel. That's all I can tell you about what the speakers actually looked like.

I'll go check out Maggy's site again but I don't think they were it. Thanks.

Maybe the 20.1's but I need to see them without their cover.

If it was, then I know that they were selling the screens and not the speakers.

Here is a link to the list of those at THE maybe something will trigger your memory. http://theshowlasvegas.com/main/exhibitors_full.php?Sid=

I didn't see their sign by the door. People were standing in front of it and we walked around them.

I want to say that Grand Prix Audio was next door to them. And the show floorplan and CAD layout doesn't show anyone next to Grand Prix.


Argh...

BINGO!!!!

Thanks a ton. I don't know how I would have ever figured it out.

I can't believe the wall of sound those put out. Now on to find out how much they are.

Here's a page that has actual pics from the CES. The speakers win the spousal approval factor award.

I own electrostatics so I have an interest in any manufacturer who makes them.
