As the exhibitor I had many many attendees state clearly they considered it to be the best room at the show. Many came back again and again, and stayed long periods of time with eyes closed and smiles on their faces. Lovers of planar speakers are said to be a minority in the audiophile community, approximately 15%. Clearly you are not part of that group. Sound Labs are considered by many to be the finest of all electrostatics.

JVS's status as a very credible and respected reviewer is undeniable. Accusing him of being deaf is absurd.

I will agree with you that the room was much too small for the Majestics. They would have done far better in a much larger room. Additionally, the almost square dimensions (20X21) are considered awful for good sound reproduction. Placing the speakers on a diagonal, with the seating at the opposite corner helped tame the pronounced slap echo of the room, but still was far from ideal.
