Another standout: Peachtree and Zu audio was incredible for the money.

What model of B&O?

3. Best budget loudspeakers: Elac towers
4. Best show representative: Raidho Acoustics. Scandinavian guy that looked like a James Bond villian. Nice guy though.
5. Best experience: Sat next to representative from $&@&$&@ who played a secret test pressing of $&@&$&@@& that no one is supposed to hear yet. Lacquers are currently being approved by $&@&$&@ (the musician).
6. Worst use of demo material: SVS subwoofer room. Good lord, Marc, Steve and I thought the entire hotel was about to collapse due to the excessive bass. We felt sorry for the Golden Ear technology guys who were across the hall.
7. Overall best sound: Tie between Wilson Alexia's/Nagra and Spectral/Avalon Acoustics (I think I am only AA'er to hear the Avalons, they're set upin my hotel across the street.

Buck...thanks! Is Avalon showing the Saga?

No, I wish. Brand new unveiling of a medium floorstander......I believe they call it the Presicion Monitor or something like that.

Here's some pics from the first day:

Sonus Faber and McIntosh room....they actually were playing some Led Zeppelin......thank God.



Magico, Soulution and Synergistic Research. Marc is gonna buy a bunch of Synergistic Research products here before he leaves.



Wilson Alexia v. 2/Nagra

[audioguy3107]

Raidho and Aavik Acoustics. The Raidhos may be the nicest looking speakers I saw, beautiful finish.



Tannoy/VAC room



Wilson Audio and Constellation

[audioguy3107]

Avalon Acoustics and Spectral



Audio Research and Martin Logan.....Those Audio Research monoblocks are serious.

One last thought for the first day....Ivan....if you're listening, I think we should get an exhibit space next year, we'll all chip in, pick out an awesome 2 channel system of your choice. I'll bring the demo material and we'll turn it into the room of the show, it'll be like a fun party, you can advertise your business and we'll take turns manning the room. We can make sure it's the story of RMAF 2018!!!

Here’s my guess at point #5 ....... MoFi, Dire Straits album, Mark Knopfler. [emoji869][emoji38][emoji869]
