Your favorite 3 rooms at RMAF


I am sure by now you have had time to digest your findings at the show. What were your favorite rooms.
Mine are as follows: The Audio Research/Vandersteen room was set up extremely well and hearing the 7's again along with the ARC anniversary Edition was a great combo. Second would be the Magico Speakers, what an awesome speaker and seeing the exposed cabinet construction was bonus, and Third I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the Thor Audio room with the Duevel Speakers. Not only beautiful to look at but may be a perfect speaker for problem room.
And of course many more come to mind but these are my fav's.

Another disclaimer: I'm a friend of Sjofn HiFi. That said, there were very few rooms that for me were as engaging as Sjofn's with their new speaker "the clue". I won't go into superlatives, 'cuz it'll just sound like I'm trying to chat it up. I will say, tho, that Stereophile gave it a fantastic review Saturday night that was posted on their blog about the show.

I loved Hegel's rooms (I own a CDP4A), and Sjofn also uses their gear in the reference system.

The other rooms which I particularly liked were Coincident Speaker's (Israel Blume rocked the nuts off the fourth floor with fantastic dynamic sound and the amazing vanishing noise floor) and Emerald Physik which just had a sick holographic soundstage with their totally open baffle design. Also really enjoyed Focal's room, a lot. I think the room which was the most visually engaging was a reel to reel demonstration on the 5th floor of the Atrium, whose name escapes me right now.

Cheers!
