All award winners were chosen from among those products that were reviewed in the publications of the SoundStage! Network -- SoundStage! Hi-Fi, SoundStage! Xperience, SoundStage! Xtreme (aka Ultra Audio), and SoundStage! GoodSound! -- within the year 2012.

The winners were announced on January 1, 2013, and the awards were officially presented at CES 2013 by the SoundStage! Network team. Details about each of the winners can be found in Doug Schneider's article that was published in SoundStage! Hi-Fi on January 1, 2013.

The wrap
After evaluating each speaker for its ability to reproduce music with the highest fidelity possible, of the speakers I heard at CES 2012 the Vivids and Magicos reigned supreme. There were other enjoyable products like the stunning Sonus Fabers, the sublime Veritys, the drastically outperforming-their-price Rockports, and lifelike MBLs. In my opinion, though, the highest-fidelity loudspeakers at CES 2012 were from Vivid and especially Magico. They wear the Superspeaker crowns for CES 2012.

On February 1 my review of the Vivid Audio Giya G2 loudspeaker, which sells for $50,000 per pair, will be published on SoundStage! Hi-Fi.
I don't want to give away too much from the review, but I will tell you two things: the G2 is the best loudspeaker I've ever heard, and it may well be the best loudspeaker in the world at this time.
It's a radical-looking speaker that produces ridiculously good sound -- sound that's clearer, cleaner, and more effortless than most audiophiles have ever heard.
