Some snapshots from HE 2007

Managed to stop by the HE 2007 show today in New York City. Some observations:

1. Planar/electrostatic speakers were mysteriously absent from the entire show

2. Same thing goes for horn speakers

3. There are some promising lower-priced speakers that sound great! (DCM, Audioengine, to name a few)

4. Musical variety was abysmal. Now, I understand why companies wouldn't want to play poorly recorded music, but I personally don't see much enjoyment in listening to "X" singer singing in "Y" language recorded in "Z" country. It was difficult to find any room with real toe-tapping music that had some cajones.

5. My personal favorite room was the Weiss room. Some of the other rooms may have been more spectacular, with more fireworks and hoopla, but I think that this would be the rig I would bring home and keep me in musical enjoyment for the longest period of time.
