It was a great show.  I didn't get time to visit the lower level (Totem, MBL, Proac) but imho the Nagra/Verity Audio was best sound.  Judging by the crowd in the room, must have been one the overall best.

Worst was the Naim demo.  Truly awful.  More concerned showing how cool his ipad was with electro/dance music than showing off the capabilities of the gear.

Hi,Folks
I am finally home and this is the final conclusion.(IMO)
Well the show was  great as usual and I enjoyed the best rooms as the MBL and NAGRA/VERITY.Oh my God when I walked into the MBL room I had to laugh when I saw the power amps on the floor.They probebly same size and weight as a 4door KIA.Sound was very trasparent and NAGRA/VERITY was very detailed.I had a chance to met some people and few designers and one was the BFA. www.beyondfrontiersaudio.com Founded in 2009 by the former senior designer of SONIC FRONTIERS.It is is a very nice hybrid integrated amplifier.
The EGGLESTONWORKS and FOCAL I could not see any improvement that attract me but the price tag and shiny boxes.
And,oh yes the best speakers in the world the YG ACCUSTICS as far they named as best I had to listen to them more carefully I even came back to the room to make sure make no mistake and also I would like to listen to them with deferent music.But :scratch:
If the bass extension is not the case for you, LAFLEURAUDIO the X2 with clear audio turntable had a clean sound to my ears. www.lafleuraudio.ca
Other then this nice turntable by DR. Feickert analogue. www.feickert.com and with the NAIM  speakers's harshness the music was not pleasure for me. :thumb:

Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signatures. They made their debut at the show.  Sounded great with surprising bass ext.  MSRP  $8300.  They were driven by Naim gear.
