Quote:More interesting to me and what made me more excited to spend time listening, was the the room with Focal Sopra 2 loudspeakers ($13,995 pair), Micromega M1 100 integrated amplifier / DAC ($3,995), IsoAcoustics Gaia 1 isolation devices ($1200 for a set of eight (Under the Sopra speakers)), and Piccolo speaker cables from Crystal Cable ($1,400 pair). This entire system was far less expensive than a single component of the Magico / Soulution system, yet it provided more enjoyment for me at the show.

The system was being fed by a laptop with Roon (local and Tidal music). Audio Plus Services' John Bevier and I were going back and forth selecting our favorite music for what must have been 45 minutes. When a system sounds this good and is so inviting, it's hard to stop listening.
