Hi @roberttcan ,
I have been at Montreal Audio show during 4 years. Some of exhibitors always, year from year do a great job to get good sound in their rooms. Equipment is changing but sound is always good. (Examples are: Audio Note, Rega-Harbeth rooms).
Other exhibitors or don't care about sound or don't understand what a good sound is. And it works, because a significant part of audiophile buy equipment for show off and grandstanding. You can see it if you look, what kind of people visit these rooms and which music was played. (Examples are: Tannoy-McIntosh, Focal rooms).
Regards,
Alex.
