What should a flagship speaker system do that the smaller
models in the line won't? Well, if your answer is produce room-shaking bass, look no
further than the JAS Audio Plato ($22,800/pair). The system in which these speakers were
used was shocking in the way that it locked onto the room and controlled the low
frequencies with an iron grip. Oh, and the rest of the frequency spectrum sounded great,
too. Driven by the company's A-203 integrated amplifier ($4980), Music DAC ($980), Zion
cable, and played with a Shanling CD transport, the Plato should make quite a splash. JAS
Audio is now officially on the map.
