More than ever I was convinced that the first day is a waste of time.

Everything was awful on Friday, better on Saturday, and best on Sunday. I was very impressed with the expensive Von Schweikert imaging, although the sound is not what I could live with. The Zu speakers got to be excellent on Sunday as did the Exemplars, Tannoys, and Bastanis, although I hope the bass can be improved in a better room. I also thought the little Acapellas on Sunday were quite good. I am, of course, characterizing the sound in rooms with these speakers. Certainly the associated equipment was also involved.
I was struck by the improvement in the VRS hard drive system. Its software is very user friendly and the sound, again on Sunday, was quite good.
Finally, I have to say how impressed I was with the Eminent Tech. fan subwoofer. All you got to hear was test tones, but wow the walls actually moved at 5 Hz. Up to 40 Hz, I would not be surprised were this unit to dominate the market.
These guys have to accomplish in one or two days what takes you many months to do in your home. Not surprisingly many rooms never reveal their potential.
