Harmonix Reimyo and Harmonix Royal Stage, by Combak Corp.
 

Mr. Kazuo Kiuchi, Managing Director
 
Mr. Kiuchi's "Bravo!" minimonitor already encompasses his goal of recreating a full-range sound.  His recent ongoing development of the matching Consequence subwoofer system is, in reality, a succumbing to the demands of the majority of audience for emphasis in bottom-end vigor, above all sonic considerations.  To Mr. Kiuchi, the concept of bottom-end rendition is one of acoustic accuracy, not of sensual stimulation.  He is of the opinion that musical bottom-octave ought to be reproduced as in a dispersive wave-front, like that from an instrument, not as the forward-firing approach intended for maximum impact.

As an owner of the 7Wpc PAT-777, I continued to find its ability to drive the 87dB/8Ω "Bravo!" remarkable
every time I listened to it.  At the CES, Mr. Kiuchi used two PAT-777's wired to operate in monoblock to drive the same speakers with the Consequence.  The characteristics of sound from a whole suite of Harmonix Reimyo electronics at this SHow was one of astounding coherency, spaciousness and delicate, precise imaging.  My wife and I returned to the Harmonix room during the Show sometimes more than once everyday.
