I thought the best sounding system was the Wilson's driven by the LAMM ML3 tube amps, i would agree very sedate but smooth and lovely sounding. The Vandersteen room with the big and expensive Clearaudio linear tracking turntable ( $150k) was the second best. The Magneplanar room was impressive for such tiny speakers , but we had to wait close to an hour to get in to see them then were quickly rushed out cause some important reviewer had only a few minutes so the whole group of us were thrown out before we could ask any questions or have them play some of our music , very dissapointing since i own Maggies.
Rodger Sanders electrostats were also nice sounding even though the room was not very well setup.
I also thought the Soundsmith Strain Guage cartridge was an interesting setup even though the sound in the room was nothing great.
