It was great to get out to the show. Was a beautiful day in NYC. The show was a 2 minute walk from Penn Station in what I thought was a really nice venue. I saw some old friends, heard some great systems.
For me, the Audio Note room was the best. As someone else said, real music. Amazing. And I got to spend some time speaking with Peter Qvortrup, which was fun in and of itself.
The Bache speakers sounded great. Wish I had a bit more time to spend in this room.
I was disappointed by the Harbeth/Luxman room. Surprisingly flat. I have the same speakers at home (30.2xd’s) and at least in my setup they sound much more dynamic. Maybe this was a function of the room setup at the show.
NYC is intimidating to those not familiar and to those that don’t bother to experience it for themselves. And to those who let paranoia rule their lives.
