Serious Stereo rooms was not that impressive this year, but it was more the room than the system.
I've heard these particular amps sound MUCH better with these exact same speakers at the last three RMAF and at the last VSAC as well.
The room was WAY to large for a flea powered amp and 99dB speakers. Might have worked with 106 dB horns.
Also, for some reason the speakers were set up WAY too close together for the size of the room.
Same can be said of the Audio Note room. I have heard these exact same amps and speakers (they are Perter Q's personal stash) at CES a number of time and in a proper room they are magic.
Once again, the particular end room that the high end Audio Note was in has NEVER sounded decent with any system I've ever heard and I have been to every RMAF since the very first one.
Boats and Fish!
