Capitol Audio Fest

Sal,
Well given her background that explains the refined ear/listening ability. It surprises me that she wouldn’t be attracted to jazz given the great pianists who’ve played this music and how utterly beautiful jazz sounds via this magnificent instrument. But again,preference end taste are truly  personal and individual.

Yes I liked the sound in Channel D room with the Vandersteen 5s very much as well.

Sal and Larry great to hear from you guys you both have more experienced ears than mine. And I  think my ears perhaps prefer a warmer slightly rolled off sound as I loved the A23 speakers but found the Channel D room a tad bright. And thanks for the info on that table Sal I really liked that room a lot and wish I had stayed longer. I missed the Charney and Rethm speakers unfortunately. And as much as I would love a pair of Vu's WE horn speakers the A23 seemed something along those lines soundwise that I could potentially one day afford. I also loved how they looked but sent my gf a pic she was less enamored. Ah well.

@larryi Fantastic show report.  Thank you!

Hi Larry,
Very nice show report.  I too was curious about Tekton Double Impacts given the considerable hype.  I'm glad you were able to hear them (-and mapman as well). We agree, definitely good sounding speakers and they're easily driven by lower powered amplifiers.  Jond I wish you could have beard them as I always appreciate your impressions.
