NY Audio Show

I was hearing several systems including Audio Note, Harbeth, and Volti audio having trouble with too much lower mids and bass. The rooms were small and there was a lot of bleed thru from each room. 

I liked the YG Carmel speakers,

KII THREE speakers,

Gamut three system,

 the Callie electronics with Acoustic Engineer SCM40A active speakers.

 Linear Tube Audio low watt amps with horns was very very present. The highs might have been a bit too much on a selection or two.

Lots of fun room and very nice vintage sounds from Oswald Mills Audio speakers with SET amps by Tektron Italia. Very fun guy spinning records there.

im going to go back tomorrow. It's a small show so it's easy to hit every room several times for a revisit. 

Visited the ohm room several times. Not impressed.

The New York marathon was going right past the hotel and you could hear the crowds cheering from some of the rooms. I'll never complain about my listening room again, LOL!

Went back for another listen today and agree with gpgr4blu the Prism and ATC was, I thought one of the best rooms. Love the sound of those ATC speakers. I still liked the kii three speakers very much. Agreed also that Bob Carver room was nice but could not get a handle on the sound. Audio note room sounded better but for me still not totally impressive. 
Not fair to judge any of these systems from this show. Not a good hotel for an audio show. 

Loved Charney's room. My top room was Prism/ATC. What kept from Charney from being top for me is I asked them to play classical and at least in that room at that moment it was not convincing me. My top pick system has to be able to handle every type of music. Was not convinced by Charney. Hope I am wrong since I am a SET guy and very much want to agree with Charney's approach.

I would definitely want to give Charney's another listen in better circumstances.
