What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009?

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.

Dgarretson, right you are. Friday is useful only to see what you need to come back to hear, to buy software, and to visit with old friends. It is dead on Sunday night, but there are a few of us still around.

Incidentally, this is true at CES also.
