Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room

The equipment in most of the rooms will set you back enough to buy a nice Lexus and in some cases a small island. Not room 1016, one of the two rooms presented by Tenacious Sound. This room was an absolute shocker. Great sound for $5k which gets you the Q Acoustics Concept 50 loudspeakers and the Cyrus Audio One Cast streaming integrated. Big soundstage, articulate and just a really good overall sound…. and, it wasn’t super bright like a lot of the other rooms.  Definitely worth a few minutes to go check out this hidden gem.

I agree.  Those RSJ subs integrated wonderfully with the LRS speakers.  A lot of great sound for not so much cost.

I’ll tell ya why it wasn’t super bright- Straight Wire speaker cables and interconnects. No doubt the components were excellent as well but Straight Wire cables give such realistic and accurate sound. 

I was at the Straight Wire office this week talking with Jerry Wilsie and Steven Hill and Jerry told me SW was doing the cabling in the Tenacious room.

I had all SW Crescendo’s for 13 years and that’s what they bring. EASILY the best value in interconnects and speaker cables.

Any thoughts on the headphone rooms

So the components he heard had nothing to do with the great sound he heard? He was just hearing the cables? I doubt it

Best budget room for me was the Jolida room. IMO, this room sounded better than most of the other rooms from floors 3 on up except for a few like the creek/passion room and the Magico room.
