Here is my opinion, the good and bad.
I was disappointed with the Sanders room. Sounded anemic to me. The Carvers room was just ok but Frank the room presenter talked Wayyyy too much!
The Gryphon room demo was ok, but we were listening to about $1M worth of equipment! So for that amount money I was not impressed.
I DID NOT like the choice of music in most of the rooms. It was music to fall asleep to with mostly midrange recordings. Most of the recordings I never heard nor ever care to hear them again. Only 3 exhibits would play some of my HR music files that I brought on a usb. I wanted to hear how the speakers/system handled dynamic rock music!
Playing only preplanned canned music makes me wonder are they hiding something? How would these systems perform at my home with my choice of music?
1. What I did like was the GT Audio works GTA 3R speakers. They had some great dynamics and they even domo’ed playing them with some Led Zeppelin!
2. I also liked the Fonica Flag L Isodynamic System these are some very thin planer speakers and were quite impressive.
3. T&A Solitaire Anniversary edition electrostatic speakers sounded very good! I would like to here these more.
Honorable mention to the Laufer Teknik "The Note" speakers. Sounded pretty good , but I have to wonder where the $40,000 cost comes from?
P.S. The bathroom availability on floors 4-16 was non existent. Probably a health code violation.
And the parking situation was terrible!
