Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs

Bo1972, more power to you if you can do this. The only convincing thing I ever hear at shows is demonstration of with and without a component. For example, I heard a demonstration of the Murata super tweeters. First they played nice speakers from Canada and then they removed the Muratas that were sitting on top of the speakkers. The image and holographic character of the sound vanished. Everybody said to put the Muratas back, which they didn't do. There was no music and several of us where pondering what we had heard. One guy finally said, "What do the Murata alone sound like?" The demonstrator said "You've been listening to them for five minutes." We all focused on the sound and heard no music at all as the Muratas have no output below 15k Hz. I bought a pair as did two others in the crowd.

I think that the sound at CES in the towers is the worst I've heard at any show, but the others are close behind. Maybe you should share your insights.

I have to admit that without Audyssey Pro I never would achieved the level I had. I was not the only one with roomacoustic systems. Other with roomacoustic systems used 2 dimensional products. It is always easy to win from every single 2 dimensional presentation.

Many people who work in this business still sell most of the time 2 dimensional sound. This is caused by the lack of knowdledge and skills.

On the dealer day many people who owned an audio shop came to me to ask how it is possible to achieve this. They were impressed by the authority and high level of a 3 dimensional physical image. I thought; what the f.. are they doing in all the years they are in this business. You have to keep on improving your knowledge and skills all the time. Time and technique goes on. So You need to improve!

No doubt modern tools for addressing room acoustics can be invaluable, if used correctly.

I suspect many high end vendors at shows would rather take a right hook shot from Jon Jones than introduce any external signal processing into their sterling systems that often sound less than spectacular due to room acoustics.

I applaud Bo for taking the bull by the horns and applying practical and effective solutions, rather than spinning wheels based on the often limited-vison mantra that is sinking high end audio, ie throw money at the problem as long as it comes from the customer.

OR maybe a teleportation tweak or two might still help. :^)

My wire is 13K hate the cheap stuff!!

Bo1972, can you list the system includng all cables and tweeks) that took the absolute sound of the show and what show you are reffering to? Thanks you
