Some rooms feel good to be in and some don't. I spend time in rooms that feel right. There are a lot of rooms that are just not worth it at a given show. Might be great gear but not working on that day in that room. My posts are below a couple of days back. I say yes you can tell a lot in the first five minutes. Usually the first thing I learn in five minutes is the guy running the room is deaf (like all the Harmon rooms). We move up from there. Jeff Joseph was very inviting and a great listen. All the Wilson rooms sounded great WHEN they were playing decent music. I know Dynaudio always sounds great, I spend no time there as I know should I get to that funding level they will be on the A list. I think the most interesting thing is reading posts praising rooms I hated or me praising rooms someone else hated. What is up with that. I know I am right so, um, I must be right :)
