Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly!

Just came back from the great Capital Audio Fest.

A lot of great rooms, a few surprises, missing brands, and some winners and losers.

The great:

Doug Whites The Voice that is system of Tidal gear, Innous Statement, and Tidal loudspeakers just was stunning sounding.

The big Genesis system in the Vpi room was quite excellent. 

The Old Forge room's Sound Kaos speakers were superb.

The Cat room with the Kef Blades proved the Kef Blades are a true contender with way more expensive loudspeakers.

Dadelius speakers sounded very good, unfortunately the system was $200k!

The Bad:

The $120k Devore's new reference speakers were good but not $120k good at this demo

More to come.

I disagree with the comments on the Luxman/Devore room I thought it was excellent. I also really liked LTA/Spatial, Border Patrol/Volti, MC Audiotech, Acapella/Audio Note and Emia.

I liked the Tidal room but thought it was better last year, also I went into the Classic Audio room twice and both times was driven out by awful music.

Did not like the big ugly Tektons, the Genesis Line arrays with VPI and Merrill, but was pleasantly surprised by the Muons with VPI and Krell.
