RMAF 2009 Coverage

Studio Electric, a small Utah company that manufactures loudspeakers and amplifiers, and Benchmark Media, well known for their line of DACs, shared a room. In the photo below, you can see Studio Electric’d Model Three speakers. The Model Three’s are the smaller ones to the inside with a stainless steel sphere sitting atop a maple base with side firing subwoofers.
