NY Audio Show

Anyone going?   Looks like a nice show this year in a very nice venue.   Wish I could make it.  OHM Acoustics/speakers will have a room for first time ever at a show that I know of.  Would love to meet John Strohbeen. Sounds like a very competitive setup he wil have there for very modest cost.  Interested to hear what others find there.

Sure is close enough, but the line up just isn't that exciting to me. The last time I was there, the many of the vendors seemed to be having a volume competition, and many of the patrons were incredibly rude. In the end not much was to be gained by attending.

If that was a SALES VOLUME competition, that might be fun to attend!

I was hearing several systems including Audio Note, Harbeth, and Volti audio having trouble with too much lower mids and bass. The rooms were small and there was a lot of bleed thru from each room. 

I liked the YG Carmel speakers,

KII THREE speakers,

Gamut three system,

 the Callie electronics with Acoustic Engineer SCM40A active speakers.

 Linear Tube Audio low watt amps with horns was very very present. The highs might have been a bit too much on a selection or two.

Lots of fun room and very nice vintage sounds from Oswald Mills Audio speakers with SET amps by Tektron Italia. Very fun guy spinning records there.

im going to go back tomorrow. It's a small show so it's easy to hit every room several times for a revisit.
