Dynaudio had
their Sapphire (12,000€) limited edition of 1000 pair to celebrate 30 years. This model includes many of the critically acclaimed new technologies and innovations Dynaudio has offered. Sadly, very few people will be able to enjoy these excellent speakers, though the good news is that they offer many great models of speakers. Check

McIntosh had their MT10 precision turntable that has 33.3,44 and 78 rpm speeds. Visually, it follows the classic McIntosh styling.

Martin-Logan's world premiere of the CLX ($25,000 for 25th Anniversary version with metal billet frame, $20,000 for normal version with metal/wood frame) features a 57-inch curvilinear unit and double diaphragm triple stator 57-inch unit all in one. The say it offers low-frequency phase stabilization and upon some listening i feel they may have a winner. ML loudspeakers usually leave me cold due to the disconnected lowermost frequencies, yet the CLX design may finally mark the company's new avenue to achieve high-end sound quality. Frankly, I was extremely impressed with what I heard, and this is a very rare event at a show. The CLX is 90dB/W/m efficient and presents a relatively easy load. This is definitely a great new design worth a listen!
