That takes quite a set to show up there....
Anyone heard this room:
The Modwright DAC on the top shelf looks very nice. This is their new offering.

I always figured beer would me more enticing than lava lamps....but what do I know.
I wanna lick those Alexia's.
These speakers looks a fresh design, it is screaming for a one way fullrange version...
The "Gamechanger" design is a major re-thinking of the way speakers project into a room. It is based on some astonishing analytical work by DB Keele, known as the "CBT" circular arc array. As I understand it, it attempts to equalize the pathways to most parts of the room to provide sound field uniformity throughout the space, creating the same sweet spot everywhere.Here is one of his papers, comparing this design with other types of line arrays:http://www.xlrtechs.com/dbkeele.com/PDF/Keele%20(2010-11%20AES%20Preprint)%20CBT%20Paper6%20Performance%20Ranking%20of%20Loudspeaker%20Line%20Arrays.pdfRick Craig at Selah audio is the only mfr. out there actively promoting this technology. I applaud him for it. I'd like to hear them someday.
Tyson NotesGeneral Room Notes – TAD Room. Oh yeah, now we are cooking with gas! Even listening to the general music selected by the people running the room, it’s obvious that this room does everything we loved about the TAD room 2 years ago when they were best of RMAF for us. Having all TAD electronics certainly helps!Saint-Saens Violin & Piano – Haha, microdynamics suckas! Amazing that it keeps the grit of the violin while being absolutely smooth and musical. Love the TAD room. Catches the interplay between Shaham and Feltsman superbly.Handel Aria – Coherent and beautiful, huge soundstage. Can’t believe we are in such a small shoebox room and there’s such giant sound. Great, great, great.Mahler Symphony – Horn call at the beginning is room filling, that’s something I’ve not heard in any other room yet. Holy shit the orchestral crash is INSANE! Civil Wars – One of the few systems that doesn’t make the midbass sound like mush on this track. Just puts her vocals out there with real emotion and depth. Almost naked clarity. Beautiful. Soundstage is really amazing, just very real. Tactile almost. Tom Waits – Hahaha, Tom Waits sounds like a junkyard dog with a bone and a bad attitude. Less sorrow and more “f-you” anger and resentment. Beautiful. I can clearly imagine him shaking his fists at kids and telling them “Get the hell off my lawn!”Clearly the best room I’ve been in this year so far, and not by a little.Jason’s NotesThe TAD room always sets my heart atwitter and this year is no different. I walked in and instantly loved the look. But the sound as usual is really what tad is about and this year is no exception. Tyson's tracks actually sound approachable and even beautiful. Actually got my attention! the Mahler especially had so much authority it you can't help but sit and just listen. TCW. Yes now this is what it's about! Soooooo much grace soooo much emotional nuance it's almost outside of categorization. The guitar strumming and dynamic shifts are breath taking! So refined its ridiculous. So much power wow. Waits. Just going to sit here and enjoy it. Holy shit..... Nothing more needs to be said.
