The rooms that I like the best were, Von Schweikert VR4 Sr. room and the Sound by Singer integrated DCS CD Player setup with VTL gear.

Another vote for the Merlin - outstanding. I did not want to leave the room, but there was so much more to see. The MBLs also sounded very good, even though they were played way too loud.

Merlin, Peak Consult (larger, didn't hear smaller ones), Aural Acoustics (incredibly good and best value), Von Schweikert VR4SR, Butler Audio, and smaller Kharmas.

Oh, and the Acapella Fidelio monitors. They were superb. I also actually liked the Acapella La Campanellas. First horns (hybrid) that I really liked. But $26,000!
