I agree about the sound in that room, very good indeed, but how do you separate the other components. One reason is the relatively small speakers. So many manufacturers keep overwhelming small romms with massive top of the line speakers. Not the best room at RMAF, but in my top 10.
RMAF and VTL
Did anyone here go to the RMAF and listen to the new VTL signature TL 5.5 preamp? I am interested in a full funtcion preamp, (I am trying to simplify my system with fewer components and cables)? If you did what did you think. I have auditioned the VTL 6.5 and it was wonderful but big, line only and a bit out of the budget. I have also auditioned the Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso at different stages and #1 on my possible list is the Janus or Janus signature, the VTL may take it's place however. I appreciate your input.
