We all enjoy seeing the best stereo equipment in the world under one roof, let's vote on what was tops. I found the mbl's 116 to be the best and these at second : bosendorfer, kharma (both 3.2's and exquisites), innersound, gini, merlins, horning hybrid agathon, gershman acoustics, almarro,von schweikert vr-9 se, empress, vandys 5a, jm labs alto utopia, bravo (prototype),von schweikert vr4-jr, egglseton fontaine II, gini, apogees (just kidding).

Oops, forgot the Horning room w/some great vinyl spinning. One of the best in a very unassumming way.
With different electronics and sources, hard to say, but the sound I liked best (music + system) were in the Horning, bosendorfer, merlin, and von schweikert 4 sr rooms. Best bang for buck (full range) was Hyperion. Not sure how to evaluate very large, full range speakers like mbl and von schw 9s in such a small room. Also I am not a fan of opera, so mbl demo left me cold.
