new york city audio show 2018

it doesn't look they have enough exhibitors to run a show,  unless one of the nyc dealers gets involved.

how the mighty have fallen. we have plenty of new hotels(rooms)

I missed the esd demo on sunday. they were good. i have great respect for esd for spending the effort in assembling that line of electronics backup -speakers. it's a world class statement system. My music is not suited for it.

the harbeths got aurally pushed aside by the intense micro detailing of the other systems(muro, etc.) which is not the harbeth style and strength( or the other systems made people partially deaf......)

The CAT room had Magico S5mk2 and the AVM room had Magico A3s both sounded wonderful.Show was much better than last year.

There are plenty of major U.S. cities to hold these Audio shows. The market exists for such shows, promoters, need to start thinking outside of the box.

Having visited the NY audio show I can say it was a major disappointment.  First, there were not enough name players there.  Second, they crammed the exhibitors to close together and the hallways and rooms were cramped.  It was hard to relax and just listen to music.  The Newport Beach show of a couple of years ago was night and day better than this show.  Thank God you could still enjoy Manhattan!
