Guys,
I am gonna say straight that I am VERY ill.
I got back from CES last night, and I may be rambling a bit.
I hung around the Gilmore rooms a lot. Right off the bat, I would say they had the room with the Model 3 speakers with the M-1 amps sounding best. ESPECIALLY when they raised the Model 3 speakers up 1'. To listen to those speakers properly, you have to be at a lower listening position than the stock chairs that came with the room, OR rasier the speakers up a bit (which they did on Sunday).
The speakers in the Model 2 room sounded good, but not as good as the model 3 room (see above). I have some theories why they did not sound quite as good (mainly room interactions, and a bit of placement). However, when Abraham came and played his basses... OMG!!! The trip was worth that 10 minute mini concert. I have NEVER heard bass amplified and played back that well. And I was off axis listening. The man is a God among basists, and I was blown away. When he flipped to his 5 string bass (I think it had 5 strings), all I can tell you is that even off axis, I'd SWEAR that the sound of his bass seemingly sounded UNAMPLIFIED and coming directly from his bass.
You gotta listen to these speakers on axis to really hear what they can do.
No other speaker at CES or The Show even began to exite me as much as these Gilmore speakers.
Well must go see a doctor... am very ill.
