.. I agree Greg, thought I didn't much care for the VU meters.. when my wife was with me.. we stopped in this room so I get her to see the difference between our speakers and the new Bryston.. we both were liking what we heard...

Also there is some coverage on the Stereophile website (complete with negative Bose TV comments)

Thank you Rock, for being our resident intrepid AA reporter...great coverage and pictures.
That Burmester 2x2 B100 setup is something to behold...c'est du jamais vu

Awesome Rock... Looks like it was fun... Anything to report from Widealab on the Aurender front?

Thanks Steve, It was lot of fun and being motivated to bring back some info and pictures for AA made it even more appealing. Unfortunately, I did not see anything form either Widealab or Aurender.

Since this is the sophomore TAVES show, it is still in its infancy and there were many brands not represented. I won't say for sure but I did not see any retailers from just south of our border, like we tend to see at the Montreal show. However for us Canucks, seeing all these products that actually come from Canada is heartening to see.
