SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here

Greai sound, the Trenner-Friefl RA Box speaker with Viva amplifiers. Just superb natural,dynamic and real live music reproduction(however a very plain jane square box appearance). The Revolver Cygnis was nearly as good sounding but cheaper and more attractive.
Goodsound were the Wilson Maxx3 with the Lamm amps (Lamms 130k price, wow). Other good sounds were Tidal and the teresonic speakers.

Bad sounding, the large Hansen with ceramic drivers and the Magico Q5 speakers(why all the fuss? terrible sounding room). Oh by the way the two King electrostics produced good sound.

"My champs are
1) Aerial 10t that I believe has many positives from many best speakers:"

Is this right? You mean someone was showing with an old pair of 10Ts? Or is Aerial bringing them back?

Shakey

The only other rude jerk I ran into was Jason Bloom of Apogee fame. What a flaming ass. His speakers were too good for him to play any of my cd's that I wanted to listen too. The point is if the retailer coming in the room likes the speakers with his music, he probably would think about caring the line. Never with that company. I'm sure you have to kiss Magico's butt to become a dealer, maybe that is why the speakers are so butt ugly.

I have to agree the new Hansen reference speaker is THE MOST UGLY speaker I have ever seen. If it was brown, it would look like King Kong just made a doo doo. Sorry Hansen, you really dropped the big one this time.

Did any one hear the new Rockport Alya?
