"Well, stop the presses. This year Lars Hansen introduced a ... ten-driver, ported, three-way floorstander--THE GRAND MASTER. THE GRAND MASTER was indeed, grand. On everything from "Rainy Night in You Know Where" to "The International" it sounded simply fabulous, with wonderful balance, wonderful bass, wonderful dynamics, wonderful resolution, and (a scarcity at this show) wonderful musicality."

"... In fact, I was so shocked and smitten with its sound that I floated out of the room on a veritable cloud of delight and forgot to take a picture! Congratulations to Lars."
