All, I visited the Synergistic Longs Peak suite about 5 times during the RMAF show. . . I staied there a minimum of 20 mins to a max of 45 mins each time, slouching as deeply as I could into the chair. . . typically until I suspected I had staid my welcome with Elliott and Ted. I listened to Dvorak's Ruins Of The Old Castle and a few other tracks on my test CD under every possible configuration of shielding/conditioning of the Apexes available in the room.
Please note that my appreciation of any particular system is directly proportional to the value obtained by multiplying:
a. Number of times I return to a room.
b. Time I spend in a room each time.
c. Deegree of bad posture/slouchiness.
e. Number of annoying requests of listening to the same darn track. . . just one more time.
f. Amount/degree of annoying questions to the poor vendor.
g. My own state of slackjawed relaxation.
The only other suites that I have enjoyed as much were the Soundings/JRDG/Vienna suite in Marriott 505, the TED/Bel Canto/HRS suite in 589, and the TEAC Esoteric suite in 445.
By contrast, in some forgettable suites I just manage to walk 5 feet beyond the door before experiencing a sudden anxiety/panic attack with actual heart-racing, which promptly drives me out in a real rush. . .
