We must have the same standard for audio sound, i.e. as close to live sounding as possible with electronics. I have the same favorite rooms you considered as your favorites, with the exception of the Totem/Devialet room. My favorite room was the Bache/Aluxus system. I went back to that room five times in three days, and heard about a dozen selections with one piano recording that sounded like a real piano playing in the room. There was no hint of electronics, just hammers hitting against the various resonating strings and the resulting sounds bouncing inside the body, with the pianist working the foot pedals perfectly. The OMA/Woo room was my second favorite and probably would have tied for first, except for restricted dynamics. Close behind were the Lampizator, Aude, Volti/Raven, etc. rooms you liked. I have attended many audio shows in the past decade, and this show had an unusually large number of rooms that sounded very good. I'm not sure of the reason(s), considering the exhibitors had the same short time period for setup as other shows, but I was pleasantly surprised.
A little more info concerning Aluxus electronics co-showing with Bache. Alex is a superb electronics technician, who for years repaired components for most of the NYC high-end audio stores. Now he's designing and building quality tube gear that as you said, "could compete with the best the world over." I'm hoping to review some of his components in the future.
