NY Audio Show

Very few great sounding rooms. In fact, none. I am usually the one that walks away more impressed than most, but not this time. Prism and ATC had an almost excellent room, Accuphase, Soulution and Airtight was a nice room as was Bache and Alexus Audio. The Paradigm room  with T&A electronics was strong. Definitive Technologies speakers were very impressive for the $, in fact awesome at their price point. The Bob Carver Amazing line source speakers with his 300 wpc amps sounded sublime at times. At others, it sounded like a PA system. I think it was the large room that kept me from figuring these speakers out. I expected more from the Technics and Sonus Faber rooms--but both had a very tough set up.

Went back for another listen today and agree with gpgr4blu the Prism and ATC was, I thought one of the best rooms. Love the sound of those ATC speakers. I still liked the kii three speakers very much. Agreed also that Bob Carver room was nice but could not get a handle on the sound. Audio note room sounded better but for me still not totally impressive. 
Not fair to judge any of these systems from this show. Not a good hotel for an audio show. 

The New York marathon was going right past the hotel and you could hear the crowds cheering from some of the rooms. I'll never complain about my listening room again, LOL!

Damn!  I missed it!

I met John Strobheem in the factory in Brooklyn when they upgraded my Walsh 2's a couple of years ago. A gent through and through.
