Which Show to Attend?

I am looking to purchase a new/used set of speakers in the $5000 price range and would like to listen to as much as possible at an upcoming show. I noticed the RMAF is coming up in Oct. and the Home Entertainment Show is in Jan. Is this the same as the CES which also has the same dates and is also in Las Vegas. Which would give me a chance to hear the widest range of speakers?

Ohhh Nooo Richard, say it isn't so. I liked Alexis Park. It was so, so, well--funky. I enjoyed the relaxed, no-casino atmosphere and the sunshine and fresh air between rooms. And it was so convenient to wander between there and T.H.E. Show.

Sure the rooms were not great for audio demos but I have never been in a room that was. Unless, of course, you had worked your magic.

Unfortunately it's true. I liked the atmosphere too and the rooms were really no worse than many hotel rooms. Bad dimensions, bass boom, hard walls (can be a good thing depending on your neighbor), it's pretty much par for the course. HE show in LA was different, very good room dimensions and not much of a bass problem, but that's extremely rare.

I am concerned at the Venetian they will pack us in every single room and the halls will be jammed with too much noise to listen to anything. We'll see. First year at any new venue is a challenge. It usually takes 3 years or more to work the bugs out.
