I agree with Dolphin. The GamuT/Pipedream was among the best sounding rooms. I just can't believe the size of this amp, it's looked like a small vehicle. The Merlins/Joule sounded a bit thin for some reason - could be tracks they had on. Overall the show was good. The Shanglin (chinese) CD-Player wasn't as impressive as it looks on the web.

I rushed through show in 3.5 hours. I was with a friend who kept running out every 50-minutes to feed a metered parking at broadway & 53rd. We spent a lot of time coordinating stuff and less time on the show. Next time I'm going alone.
I forgot to mention the new Meadowlark Swift. At $1095 the pair (or is it $995), these could be a hugely successful speaker.
Really liked the Singer demo of the JM Grand Utopias/Lamm setup. best sound IMHO was the Wilson System 7. Largely due to the room and the care and coordination of the material. The integration of the sub with the WATTs was very good (those things still sounded sweet w/o a sub).
Oodest thing I witnessed : typical crowded elevator situation on 2nd floor, Kalman Rubinson of Stereophile elbowing his way past an elderly woman to take her place on an overpacked elevator, separating her from her group. That kind of boorish behavior makes me want to cancel my subscription...
