Doug99,
I have to agree with you on almost all of the systems at the show sounding VERY POORLY. But what I'm not sure of,,,,How bad were the rooms versus "HOW RUDE" the N.Y. crowd was. This was my First Hifi show on the East coast and was sooooo pissed off by the ignorance of the general public and the exhibitors / more so the public. How can you listen to anything with good intent when 20 people are yaking in the background, walking in front of you, pushing and shoving past you to get "their look,see".....only a few exhibitors took control of their rooms and gave you a chance to look and listen to the products.....I had a great conversation with Steven Stone of Stereophile and he was feeling the same way about the show. He had to do all of his work within the first hour each day,for after that it was total Chaos......Sad To Say "SOUR GRAPES" for me.
