Western Electric

-horns from 1928 were featured in a very large room on floor 1 (sektor F). The drivers were field coil units made by a Koren firm.

The recording was a live opera- the sound was spectacular. I mentioned this to several people who responded that when they heard the room it was dreadful.

When I heard the Living Voice room (it was just down the hall from us) it was nothing like described by morricab. I think a lot depended on what recording was being played at the time.

That was certainly true in our room, which worked OK as long as the volume was not run up too high (which it occasionally was- I had to leave the room several times). Being my first time at this show there was the usual learning curve regarding the room behavior. I sorted out that we really needed to change the toe-in, which we did on the second day; things were more spacious after that.

I heard several rooms that were quite impressive (Tannoy, also the rooms with the Lars 36-watt amplifier). It was nice having most of the rooms be the same size and shape- made comparisons much easier.
