Re: HE2006 report . . (long)

My companion and I both thought the Acoustic Image room with the ESP Concert Grands was the best in the show. We found the depth of soundstage strikingly better than any other we heard. The Wilson Watt-Puppies driven by the AR gear did sound great, but the depth of field seemed a bit flat.

All in all, too many bass heavy demos playing pop music that could not be related to a real performance -- who knows what the guy at the mixing console intended, the voices and instruments are so processed you can't relate them to any sort of ground truth. This may be perfectly good music to listen to for entertainment, but not for judging the quality of an audio system.
