@atmasphere, that's "midwest nice" behavior you are describing. It's a "I don't want to be the selfish one in the room" sentiment and often results in nobody getting "the best seat". It's also why the last piece of pie will sit, unattended, for days, on the countertop.

Thanks for your response. Yes I imagine it's quite the frustrating puzzle to get some of those hotel rooms to sound good and then invariably nobody is sitting in the 6 square feet where it does sound good. Also agree on the music being played. Not sure I would ever be able to make it through one of these shows... I like what I like musically and tend to shy away from, if not loathe, a lot of commercial music. I have the Fritz Carbon 7's so I know they sound great... I hope to check out your Class D mono's at some point in the near future ...and maybe even your UV-1. JAS |
@treepmeyer I thought the Vandersteen system sounded great. I saw that there were many advertisements about one Audioquest session per day. I attended one, and I thought the presenter was enthusiastic because he designed the product. If you planned to hear the speakers, too bad you hit that moment. Every Axpona, I make a beeline to the Ultra Fidelis room because they always make the systems sound like I like them. It is a point of reference for me. |
@jamesbgood Thanks for the advice. Next year I will be sure to visit the Ultra Fidelis room. I can't account for what I heard in the AQ room, but Vandersteens remain on my short list despite that experience. I will seek them out next year as well as in the interim as the opportunity arises. |
