RMAF - 2010 Thank You!
« on: 28 Oct 2010, 04:25 pm »
It has been almost two weeks that the show ended...

Just my two cents here. A couple pics below to start with...one from Irina (Ira), Klaus wife for those of you that don't know her.

We would like to thank everyone that stopped by our room and listened to music providing feedback and  giving in most instances great and positive comments!












We had a great time this year at the show.

A couple points...Klaus decided for this show to set the room (speakers) along the long wall. Room (hotel) conditions are far from adequate and always difficult to set up. After some tweaking we came to what we thought was good sound under room conditions - in fact, to my ears this year produced the best sound I have heard over the past three years under show conditions. Well focused, musical, playing deep down...I mean deep notes (some people were touching the plants vases inconspicuously looking for a sub!), providing a large sound stage (very wide) and so inviting - emotional. Not bad at all!! It was only right we had the Khartago monos this time as they were recently awarded by TAS and also a perfect choice for a complete "budget system" as it was the goal for this show.

We have a lot of people visiting the room and to my surprise many international visitors - audiophiles from many places. In true honesty I felt great when I heard comments like..."how do you guys make it at this price" or "I just came from xx room playing a megabuck system and your system sounded better" ...nice feeling that keeps you going and I really mean this.

It was also great to see many AC members visiting our room like always and meeting some new faces for the first time like John (The Chair Guy), Rim (Woodsyi) and Laura (Vinyl_Lady) with her stack of LP's!

All the best to everyone.  :thumb:

Guys,

Thanks from me as well.
Yes,  it was actually a very good show.  Much better than last year business-wise.
As for the sound,  it was off the charts,  if I may say so.
The last couple of years in the same room there were a few acoustic issues that bugged me,  so I decided to 90 degree the system onto the long wall to eliminate the standing waves that I had the years before in 3 different areas,  and to show off the systems insane depth and width.  I guarantee you,  flat out,  that there was not a better imaging system at the show,   period.  It was unbelievable.  However,  more than ever this vast 3 d effect was prevalent in the one single chair that we had,  even though next to it the depth and width did not fall apart either.  Very,  very nice,  and what I have been preaching for forever,  and what I have in my own system.  Highly,  highly addictive,  hehehehe.   

Also, we obviously had to watch the volume,  because now,  with the drivers looking at less than 10 feet to the front wall,  one can overload the room easily.  Lastly,  I think that we eliminated comments from these idiots who open the door,  put their heads into the room for 30 seconds,  and have an opinion about any given system.   Morons. 

As for the feedback,  well,  we have tons and tons of review inquiries from all sorts of magazines.  These reviewers were flabbergasted,  which is a good thing.

See below for some more links / comments.

Late,

Klaus

I was one of the morons only in there for 30 seconds, but I thought it sounded GREAT!  :P  It was great seeing you again Klaus, and I wish I'd had more time to hang out a bit.  Truly great sound, it was obvious in the first 3 seconds, hehehe.  Congrats and I'm glad business went well, you deserve it.

Isn't  $2700 + $1500 + $1800 = $6000 ?

Or is there a $500 discount by buying the complete system?

Yes, and more, as it includes the Groneberg Quattro cables.

The best way to find out is call Klaus and talk to the man. See what he'll do for you. Dicker dude, that's the American way.  :thumb:

Thanks much for the kind comments...we sorprised a lot of people with the modded SL-1210 bringing great memories to some - it sounded very good! If you are in the Indy area sometime let me know and we can do some more "spinnin"  :D
