"...without question the best sounding system I had the pleasure of listening to at this year's combined CES/T.H.E. Show was found in the Perfect 8/BAlabo room, in 29-222. "This system really delivered; bone crushing dynamics, superb coherence, ruthlessly musical resolution, captivating presence, and an unquestionably truthful timbre. Tonal color and texture were convincingly rich and vibrant, and musical involvement was eerily honest, bordering on downright revelatory. "This system had the ability to recreate the scale of the music in a remarkably accurate manner, yet it was able to serve up the nuances and subtleties with uncanny, unnerving realism. This system very nearly breathed life into the music it reproduced." - Greg Weaver, Senior Editor, Positive Feedback ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• CES 2012 Best Sound of Show - BAlabo and Perfect8 'The Point' Loudspeaker "The Points disappeared more completely than any other loudspeaker at this year's CES (and consequently made voices and instruments sound more "there" than anything else). There was absolutely no sense of driver or box on any cut. The Points were being driven-beautifully-by BAlabo electronics." - Jonathan Valin, Executive Editor, Absolute Sound Power amplifier, BP-1 MK-II and Control amplifier, BC-1 MK-II are also available.
