Here's the English-made Cygnis loudspeaker from Revolver that caught my ear in Munich back in '08. Our own Carlos Sanchez reviewed the Cygnis (here) after I gave it a recent listen and concluded it as a seriously overlooked product and worthy of my Publisher's Choice! for 2009. Well, it doesn't seem as though it will be in the shadows for much longer now that May Audio Marketing is now overseeing all US sales and distribution.  Bravo

I'm always left dumbfounded and left scratching my wig after hearing the Crystal Cable Arabesque loudspeaker. They simply defy conventional wisdom in that they shouldn't sound as good as they do... time and again (because it's made of glass perhaps?). I wonder what other manufacturers would have to say about its performance much less than its built from a non-resonant type glass. One thing's certain and that is: no matter the source or place, this loudspeaker delivers the good in ways that just leaves me speechless.  

French manufacturer Waterfall Audio's Diamond Glass loudspeaker ($54k) is yet another new high-end audio product that is composed of a glass. Boasting custom built mid/bass Atohm drivers sheathed in Nappa leather, a down firing 8 1/2" woofer and a unique glass horn tweeter.
