What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009?

Did anyone take note of the signal and speaker cables that were used in the Vandersteen - Audio Research system?
Thanks.

Shunyata, I believe.

In Vandersteen room Shunyata was used: King Cobra CX, and Stratos if I recall correctly. G.

I thought the Vandersteen prototypes at CES sounded better than these production versions, but I might have been an underpowered amp at RMAF. The demonstrator would not turn the volume up much.

The GamuT room was actually stunning after the speakers were reset. They had too much midbass and were reset on Sunday for better balance, clarity and inner detail.

Lesson learned: instead of passing negative judgment on Friday, next time I need to arrive Sunday and leave Monday. Or perhaps vendors should arrive early and take more time for careful set-up.
