RE: All these rooms made a very favorable impression

I heard MBL Friday night and was not impressed but I could only stand in back. Sunday we went in again, the guy played a couple master tape tracks and I had a seat, not sure what to attribute the difference to but Sunday's listen was most impressive. If anyone missed the Tidal room you missed my pick for best at show. The Bricasti was also outstanding.

Those Merrill amps driving the 108 dB wild looking Sadurni, incredible sounding, horns, were Class D. I could not believe those were Class D and sounded so good, and through horns.

The ATC room sounded good to me. I have to admit I liked the Quad speakers. The rep says Quad will be distributed in the U.S. again, by a division of Mobile Fidelity.

Parasound was the power for the KEF room. I talked a while with Richard Schram who is very nice. His new integrated has to be the best bang for the buck product to hit.... well, since his last BFB product. The preamp section is identical to the P5, built in DAC and high power output for MSRP of $2500.00. He said the DAC in the integrated is better than the one KEF was using in the auditions.

Another value product, Vanatoo's incredible powered speakers at only $499.00 a pair. Tons of features, even built in dac.

Thanks to Patricia Barber for being gracious enough to sign CD's after her show. Shame on the Weston for making us stand during her show after a day of walking around, LOL.

Also, shame on you guys who hijacked this thread to talk about political/social garbage we see and hear enough of other places, take it some place else.

Shame on Chicago for not informing people you still have to pay for parking downtown, at night, even if you don't see a parking meter, LOL.

I thought the show was well attended, especially Saturday. Any more people and it wouldn't have been too much fun trying to get into a room. A good time.
