Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF:
Here's how the original post regarding Rau Audio (NOT Rao Audio) SHOULD have read:2. Rau Audio launched their company on the first day of the 2007 RMAF. I thought the sound from their room was just OUTSTANDING, and went back for more. They designe... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
Well, I've finally heard a pair of loudspeakers that I believe are clearly superior to the Intuitive Design Summits. These are almost certainly the best speakers I've ever heard. I went to a friend's house and listened to his system for several ho... 
Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones
I listened to the HD650s BRIEFLY at the 2007 RMAF and compared them to the HD600s, which I just sold on consignment. I thought that the 650s were significantly better. Those and the AKG 701s may be a consideration in the future.* *Right now I'm so... 
oddyssy mono extreams
Your opinion of the Odyssey Extremes matches mine pretty well. I also own a pair and also love them. They've been in my system over two years. Thanks for a very nice review. 
Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier
Wow, what an outstandingly well written and lucid description! It sounds like the 701s merit serious consideration, to say the least. When and if the time comes to gear back up with headphones I'll keep them on the short list for sure. Thanks for ... 
Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier
Rgs92,How would you compare the sound of the 701s as currently configured in your system to that of the Stax Omega 2s with the 007t energizer? Things like detail, bass definition and depth, timbral accuracy, smoothness, and midrange richness would... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
A friend of mine plays double bass in the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra. I wanted to have a real professional musician listen to my system to assess its timbral accuracy. He came over with a CD of a double bass piece which he had practiced and pl... 
Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier
Rgs92,I had been wondering about the 701s, so that's useful, to say the least. That makes at least one person interested. Thanks.

Massive entertainment center replacement ideas?
Since my loving and wonderful wife (the original purchaser of Gladys) was kind enough to attend the RMAF with me, it seemed like a great opportunity to look at audio furniture. I thought that Audio Elegance displayed some nice looking racks, and m...

That's some excellent information, and extremely well written, in my opinion. Thank you for offering so much detailed comparative information. 
Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF:
Bflowers,I heard a particular brand of speakers sound bad at the show, and that was the first time I had heard them. People I trust very much have said that they are great speakers. They are known to require a large room and this one was small. I ...
