I disagree with the notion that hifi shows are useless for comparison and evaluation of audio components(why would companies invest the time,effort and expense?). It is`nt realistic to buy/borrow every piece of equitment(especially speakers) to hear them in your own system for the vast majority.
Why does he need to compare to Wilson,KEF or any other selected brands to validate his preference? Who made them the standard? I`ve heard excellent sound in various rooms at shows,some get it right and others don`t. These systems are selected and set up by rhose who presumably know them best.Certainly the enviroment is`nt ideal, but for most people this is the only practical way to hear many components up close.
At RMAF 2011 the Concert Fidelity/Silicon Arts-Kaiser Kawero room was fantastic!Enough rooms had good sound to make the point that it`s achievable and not a ready made excuse for poor sound(I realize there are exceptions).
Regards,
