arrive in stores soon. That includes the Artikulat speakers (shown on page 27), and the new Majik strictly two- channel component series. I’ve already asked to review the Majik CD, which will replace both the Genki and Ikemi, with a price situated about midway. Before you ask, like the older models it will still have HDCD decoding.

I’m always happy to see (and espe- cially hear) Sonus Faber speakers, and there were two new ones at the show. The Anniversario (extreme right) is gorgeous, as you’d expect, and it sounded luscious too. I saw but didn’t hear the Guarneri, next to it, bearing serial number 002. Its

projected price is C$14K, but if it’s any consolation the stand is included.
