Gpgr,

I agree, the MBL room was very special. I wish I heard the vintage Tannoys...crap.

Devore Fidelity is not showing but does anyone know if his speakers will be in the show driven by someone else's amps?
Thanks.

The speakers that totally blew me away were the Volti Audio Horns. They probably needed a bigger room.

Charles, Brett and I were hangin. As I mentioned above, I was blown away by Volti. I just kept going back to that room. They were being driven by a great sounding push-pull 300b amp. I also enjoyed the Audio Note room -That would be expected I :). I liked the MBL room very much!

I should mention Vanatoo Powered mini speakers. I heard them and was immediately impressed with their musicality and the way these little speakers filled the room with warm music. Both of their demo units sold at the show and my violinist friend who was looking for mini's ordered a pair as well. They are doing something very right at around $500!

Charles, The Volti was being driven by a Raven Preamp and Raven 26 watt 300b push-pull. They were using Sophia Royal Princess tubes. I will not soon forget the sound, power and immediacy of that system. I have not heard orchestra music sound like that from an audio system before.

Charles, with a sound like that, how the amp measured was the last thing on my mind. So fast and dynamic, effortless. I started to visualize owning this system and the room I would build for listening. I hope to hear them some time with Border Patrol.

Charles, I asked the Volti guys why they were running 26 push-pull watts and they said they like the extra power for these speakers.

Mapman, Sounds like you liked the Cathedral Speakers better than Volti. Been a while back but can you recall the differences? Thank you

After this experience I look forward to hearing more horns in the future. Salectric it would make sense they can be driven with much less than 26 watts and amplifier choice might come down to the type of music one listens to. As you say Greg Roberts of Volti uses a 2A3. I don't know what it was, but the sound was so dynamic and effortless. Large scale orchestral music was breath taking. They may choose to use more powerful amps at shows to impress people like me :)
I would like to hear them in a larger room and after Mapman's report on the Cathedral's won't miss a chance to hear those as well.
