I’ve been attending many audio shows ? The system that sounds like you are in the concert hall.Most of the people listening on this system are in disbelief because it’s like live music if you close your eyes. I heard this system at Westin Hotel Axpona show.The room does not have acoustic panel. The system Iam talking about is Austin Acoustic.$750k.
Really expensive systems that sounded great?
I often laugh at megabucks systems ($100K and above) I hear because so often they are just OK, or the presentation is so off in one dimension or another I can barely listen to them for long.
What I’d like to ask now is what megabucks systems have you heard which you felt actually were worth the asking price? I don’t mean incrementally better than your $20k system. I mean leaps and bounds. Anyone?
The best system close to that I ever heard was the top of the line Vandersteen speakers and Vandersteen monoblock amps driven by VTL preamp (I believe) at a show in Oakland. Nothing else I heard in that price range or above sounded worth it to my poor ears.
Lets try to stay wealth-positive here and stick to things we actually LIKED. 😁
