January, 2006 - Pegasus was reviewed in HiFi+ January, 2006 - the abso!ute sound reported on the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, Colorado. They wrote, "Also mated with DeHavilland gear - and sounding quite good - were the Nola Viper Reference loudspeakers ($12,000), three-way, open-baffle floorstanders that Carl Marchisotto debuted at the show. The Nolas were one of the better sounds at RMAF - not as authoritative as the ($60,000) VR-9SEs, but every bit as beautiful and transparent." December, 2005 - the abso!ute sound conveys an Editor's Choice Award on the Nola Grand Reference. They wrote, "Carl Marchisotto's ambitious "statement" design has evolved. The drivers, from the true ribbons at the speaker's top end to the dual towers of ported 12-inch woofers, have remained constant. But the crossover workings of the main towers have been refined more than once. The result is that the integration of the multiple drivers in the main towers, already a job nicely done, has become very nearly seamless. The bête noire of this system, and many another with freestanding woofers, lies in the integration of the bass with the main drivers but with matching amplifiers for towers high and low, it is more easily done. At its best in its current configurations, the Grand Reference achieves that most illusive of all qualities, "continuousness." Mate this with its dynamic quickness, seamlessness, and very wide frequency response and you have what can justly be called a "great" speaker and rarest of all, the closest you may get to the fell of music in the home. The Grand Reference joins that handful of "big" speaker systems that are able to capture semblances of certain aspects of the real thing." December, 2005 - the abso!ute sound conveys an Editor's Choice Award on the Nola TBolt II subwoofer. They wrote, "With one twelve-inch driver similar to those in the Grand Reference and a critically-tuned, all-wood, heavily braced box, what we have here in the TBolt II is a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex of the subwoofer field: fast, vicious in its attack, and thunderous in its power."
