Audio Show....

I agreed with @roberttcan ,
My experience on Montreal Audio Fest was similar to yours in Toronto.
A big part of exhibitors or don’t care or simply don’t have any idea about how good audio should sound themselves.
But if you go to audio store there is the same story.
There are too many morons in audio industry today.
In contrast there are some exhibitors that have a good sound in their room from year to year on Montreal Audio Fest.
My experience shows, the sound depends more from good taste of exhibitor, seller or audiophile than from budget spent on the system.

Hi @roberttcan ,

I have been at Montreal Audio show during 4 years. Some of exhibitors always, year from year do a great job to get good sound in their rooms. Equipment is changing but sound is always good. (Examples are: Audio Note, Rega-Harbeth rooms).
Other exhibitors or don't care about sound or don't understand what a good sound is.  And it works, because a significant part of audiophile buy equipment for show off and grandstanding. You can see it if you look, what kind of people visit these rooms and which music was played. (Examples are: Tannoy-McIntosh, Focal rooms).

Regards,
Alex.
