I too thought the Luxman/Synergistic/Vivid room at RMAF was in the top 3 I heard -- and I myself kept returning. The room had tons of air, soundstage galore, and a very organic sound. I was surprised that the Vivid/Luxman combo filled the room so well. The real shocker for me was the ART Acoustic Resonator System demonstration from Ted Denney. I sat through the demo several times over two days and was very impressed with what these devices achieve. The bass was much firmer (less bloated), the acoustic images just floated in the room and were.....clearer. The system sounded more "Vivid" with the system employed... how appropriate.
I also liked the following suites: YG Acoustics, Kharma, Symposium Panaoramas, Scaenea(?), and the Genesis room. Ironically, most of the above mentioned suites' components costed 3-10 times what the Luxman/Synergistic/Vivid did. Anyways, great sound indeed.
