NY audio show 2022

Hello guys , this is not political forum 

Just prior to Covid I flew from Arizona to attend the NY Audio show thinking it had to be a great show.  Unfortunately, I basically spent about 90 minutes viewing the show.  It was super disappointing.  However, I did enjoy the sites and had a great time while in the city.  I visited the 9/11 museum, ate at Katz's deli and some great restaurants at night.  

It was great to get out to the show. Was a beautiful day in NYC. The show was a 2 minute walk from Penn Station in what I thought was a really nice venue. I saw some old friends, heard some great systems.

For me, the Audio Note room was the best. As someone else said, real music. Amazing. And I got to spend some time speaking with Peter Qvortrup, which was fun in and of itself.

The Bache speakers sounded great.  Wish I had a bit more time to spend in this room.  

I was disappointed by the Harbeth/Luxman room. Surprisingly flat. I have the same speakers at home (30.2xd’s) and at least in my setup they sound much more dynamic. Maybe this was a function of the room setup at the show.

NYC is intimidating to those not familiar and to those that don’t bother to experience it for themselves. And to those who let paranoia rule their lives.

@steveashe Thanks Steve, we have little bit small room in New York Audio show , i bring bigger size LS sounding much more better in large room , but you have chance visited our Brooklyn spot with  better acoustic performance and spend more time .
