@glupson, the lady handing out cookies was mrs Katz, refreshing to see a family affair at the show. She baked the cookies herself, while Mr Katz builds.
In general, the limitations of the rooms made it impossible in many cases to discern what the speakers are doing.
The JA’s were playing at such a high volume in a small room, I was overloaded although I was surprised by the low end output.
I was hoping to hear Legacy Aeris but just as I got there they switched to (I think) the Focus.
forgot the brand but there was a room with speakers in plexiglass cabinets. It seemed a little odd that the tweeter faced forward while twin mids faced to the sides. I found that room way boomy.
the Martin Logan 5 speaker surround set up was rather unexpected, as were Benchmark class D amps.
this was my first trip to CAF. Having experienced that, there is no need to go to NY’s Park Lane event. There is no comparison. If I were running the NY audio show I would hold it in NJ. Drastically lower cost to hold event, much easier for exhibitors to bring their gear and less hassle for attendees.
