One of Marc Mickelson's friends urged us to visit room
1614, which housed a system comprising Ascendo System M speakers ($36,000-$45,000/pair
depending on features), CAT JL-3 Signature mono amplifiers, a CAT Ultimate preamp, a
Reimyo CDP-777 CD player, Virtual Dynamic cables, and an Acoustic System rack. We were
immediately glad for the referral -- the sound was punchy, exciting and notably
transparent. Marc's friend said he "would kill to have this sound at home." Marc
reminded him that he could have this system if he cared to write the check.
