Nola Champ S3 ($12,500 pr USD)

The latest design from hi-fi legends Carl and Marilyn Marchisotto, the 3.5-way, five driver Champ S3 delivers a big spacious sound with plenty of power and dynamics and yet they can sound perfectly delicate and natural when needed. The open baffle design also creates an airy, expansive treble with superb balance and a fantastically big sweet spot. The roller-ball bases, now standard, provide more stable images and deeper, tighter low frequencies. A Reviewers Choice Award winner.
