These guys look interestinghttp://www.burwellspeakers.com/#!Anyone have a link to the list of exhibitors by room number? Can't find it on the new site...
Not this year.
Wow, lots of replies already! Thanks so far I'll answer each person in turn:Raidho, meh. Heard them at least 3 shows now and always not impressed.
Interesting. I thought the Raiho X-1's at THE Newport sounded pretty good - especially for their size. When I saw the price, I understood why.
The Salk Exotica 3 IS a radical departure. It has not a single driver element common to any other previous Salk speakers.It is darn well worth a visit unless your ESP can write it off without listening to it, a fairly common ability around here.Frank Van Alstine
Surprising since there will be a new speaker released.
Hell, I think even the TAD room is probably gonna be a skip this year. And guess what? Next year, even more rooms will fall off our list. Too much to see/hear and not nearly enough time. My ESP cannot tell me if I should write off the Exotica 3. But it CAN tell me that I won't be hitting your room this year.
If it's setup by Andrew Jones and uses all TAD electronics it'll always be worth hearing as a reference, but with other people's gear and setup I can understand skipping it.
Check out Bruce Brown's display in Room 8000 which will have a Lampi DSD dac as part of a setup along with the new Cavalli Liquid Gold Headphone Amp and the Abyss Headphones.
Yes, every year Andrew's room is among the very best at the show. So, worth hearing because: awesome. But we've kind of been-there done-that. So a likely skip.
Looks like they skipped RMAF this year anyway, I don't see TAD on the exhibitor list at all and a search turned up nothing for TAD.
Well, to be frank, we won't be going to either of those rooms because we know (and like) the people running them, and so we have been every other single year we've done RMAF. And every single year it's good sound but not great sound (IMHO), and it's awkward to do a write up. As people, I want them to succeed, but as a listener, I'm not compelled. So, best to avoid the whole situation and move on to other stuff. And I don't want you to feel singled out - Von Schweikert and Bryston have also fallen off, along with any rooms using YG Acoustic speakers (another personal friend), the Nordost room, and anything from Harman or Dynaudio. Even really excellent rooms have fallen away because we've already heard them enough to know what it's gonna sound like, such as the Estelon room, the Triode Electonics room, and the Zellaton room. Hell, I think even the TAD room is probably gonna be a skip this year. And guess what? Next year, even more rooms will fall off our list. Too much to see/hear and not nearly enough time. My ESP cannot tell me if I should write off the Exotica 3. But it CAN tell me that I won't be hitting your room this year.
