Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room

The equipment in most of the rooms will set you back enough to buy a nice Lexus and in some cases a small island. Not room 1016, one of the two rooms presented by Tenacious Sound. This room was an absolute shocker. Great sound for $5k which gets you the Q Acoustics Concept 50 loudspeakers and the Cyrus Audio One Cast streaming integrated. Big soundstage, articulate and just a really good overall sound…. and, it wasn’t super bright like a lot of the other rooms.  Definitely worth a few minutes to go check out this hidden gem.

Any thoughts on the headphone rooms

So the components he heard had nothing to do with the great sound he heard? He was just hearing the cables? I doubt it

Best budget room for me was the Jolida room. IMO, this room sounded better than most of the other rooms from floors 3 on up except for a few like the creek/passion room and the Magico room.

Yes, other than being 100 degrees from all the tubes in a small room, the Jolida Black Ice room sounded good…. Possibly because there were 2 rear channels playing much of the time giving a very immersive sensation. Their $2k preamp/processor requires more investigation to understand what is really going on with the rear channels… but the room sounded much better with rears on vs rears off.

The TAD room on Sunday was dialed in with  those monitors.  

I asked how much and was told 85k. Dam!
