Those Arabesque Minissimos look very pretty. Didn't they also make a monster version in glass?
They were showing some small glass Arabesques at the show last year, powered by a Dev. I'm sure they're very good in the right context, but last year they were playing opera through them at high volume in a large room, and I found it painful.
Did they use the Dev with any other speakers this weekend? Last year they did, but seemingly only on request -- at least while I was there. I got them to try the SF Olympica IIs. I found this odd: a Dev is easily capable of driving much bigger speakers that would be more suited to the space, so why choose the Arabesques?
