Thanks for the kind words!
One must remember these are hotel rooms and with only a day or so to get setup, it is remarkable that quality of sound vendors get to begin with. There were many good sounding rigs/rooms, but these are the rooms I visited repeatedly...Vinnie Rossi Modular Integrated & Harbeth's - each year Vinnie has super soundCommandAV NEAT Speakers - Excellent sound from both small and large modelsOdessey - Klaus's room - Ingenious setup for a large room to produce outstanding soundViva-HiFi & Modwright (new Amp) - Scott is great and the new Modwright amp sounded really goodQuad Room - Kent's Rebuild/Mods - Excellent host, great musicBeckart, ML & Odessey Mono's - The ML's sounded great in this setupBorder Patrol & Living Voice - Border Patrol always sounds good, too rich for moiOB Subs & BG-Radia - Great bass in a small room - Charles and ?? are always great hostsGTA 2.5's - The new version sounds excellent and I liked the multi-wood trim on the 2.5'sTidal Room - Smaller model Tidal speakers Room (cannot remember name now)VPI Room - Amazing amount of HW in this room and every VPI Employee there too - impressive showing by a vendorWhile Triode Wire Labs wire was used in many rooms, Pete was everywhere serving up cold beverages (as usual) - Thanks again Pete!!!!Everyone one of these rooms had GREAT hosts and played a variety of great music (no audiophile crap).And if you developed some excess wax buildup in your ears, there were a couple rooms glad to BLAST that wax away. We won't mention them.
