in the early days when the 101 was introduced, they were seemingly always in some glass-walled and unusual room, perhaps due to the preference of the German reps or their low ranking on the totem pole of exhibitors. even though the sound was nearly unbearably bright and not quite refined in the bass, i heard something special.
at subsequent shows, they seemed to be a little better each year until one year, i was stunned at how good they were, and this was with the "plain Jane" 101s, not the Extremes which i never had heard. for several years, their high level of qualities, including their lows which had now progressed to exemplary and then i began to notice their lesser models had also made leaps in sound quality.
finally, either at THE Show Newport or CES, with Extremes, they had an extended Saturday evening/early Sunday morning listening session/party featuring RTR tape at 15ips and SPLs at near 110db levels that were just superb. i had garnered a seat in the sweet spot and fully enjoyed the evening until i just HAD to go to bed.
i would not hesitate to take a pair of 101s to be my wedded system had i the financial means to do them justice.
