"
Never has so much expensive equipment, in so many rooms, sounded so bad...The exhibitors for the most part cared so little about their perspective customers that they put almost no effort into addressing the acoustics of the rooms...The Wynn Audio room was abyssmal. The Magico/CH-Precision room not much better. The Klipshorns .. nearly unlistenable in that room, sort of like the Yamaha room. There was one uber-expensive speaker in one room where you could literally hear the cabinet resonate."

Do you have any data, study, or measurements to support you're claim, pronouncements, and observations? I would think being a self-professed engineer, scientist, and expert that you would have conducted such measurements and possible held some double blind testing to compare objective results with you're own because as you say "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."    
He merely stated that some items didn't impress him. That's kinda the point right? If something sounds good to you, or vice versa, then further research is in order. You two may be engaged in some sort of back and forth, I don't know, but if I think something sounds bad/not applicable to me, I could care less how it measures.
May want to go back and read my post (and his). We both agreed we came away less than impressed from the sounds we heard at this show.


I agreed with @roberttcan ,
My experience on Montreal Audio Fest was similar to yours in Toronto.
A big part of exhibitors or don’t care or simply don’t have any idea about how good audio should sound themselves.
But if you go to audio store there is the same story.
There are too many morons in audio industry today.
In contrast there are some exhibitors that have a good sound in their room from year to year on Montreal Audio Fest.
My experience shows, the sound depends more from good taste of exhibitor, seller or audiophile than from budget spent on the system.

@roberttcan Thanks for the write-up. Look, it's either good or it's not good, no matter what the room.
