Compared to previous years many rooms sounded good.
1) Schweikert in the large atrium room. The room, per the designer who ran the demo is the best room on the show circuit. Probably most setups would sound spectacular. The soundstage is like in an IMAX.
2) Cessaro horns sounded good
3) Vivid/Mola sounded good
4) First time I heard the big Bayz audio speaker. Great, but 160k.
5) Gershman acoustics - great price/value
6) Joseph audio - always good, never heard a bad room from this company.
Bit dissapointing:
1) Borresson - I wanted to like the rooms and the lower X models, but fatigue set in after 1 song.
2) MBL 101 - Nice, but for 100k speakers something was missing in this setup. Too soft sounding.
3) Sunday was very low traffic. Not good for the companies exhibiting
Overall, great, wish I had more than 4 hours. One really needs 2 days.
