I thought most of the big rooms at the show were good (but not all). To me none of them created value that accorded with their price. But I do have some "take-aways".
As per my earlier post, "buy more well-played and well-recorded music", from the Chasing the Dragon demo.
Another was to wonder how the Perlisten AV setup in the Karma AV room, which did a really great job on some movie soundtracks, would handle close-miked piano. Would it re-create that visceral impact I feel when sitting a few rows from the front of a concert hall listening to a piano recital? The thought tempts me to consider "moving more air" at home either via bigger loudspeakers than I have or a subwoofer (or two).
The final take-away was when I got home. Aah! Apart from the temptations above, the visit did not persuade me away from my view that the best system in the world is the one I already have.
