I agree the Wilson room sounded very good. The new Alexandria XLF had the new soft dome tweeter and bigger bass cabinet. Paired with the Dan D'agostino amps it was the best sound I have heard in that room. I did not hear any music I was familiar with so its hard to make any firm judgements. I was not to crazy about the yellow paint job on the Wilsons though.
The Wisdoms were ok but not for their asking price. They are an on wall design and I'm sure that is somewhat responsible for their sound. The soundstage was a little flat and the images were a bit to large and indistinct.
I also liked the Vienna/Ayre room. I have yet to hear a system with the top of the line Ayre gear sound bad. I hope that Definitive gets the Vienna Acoustics Die Muzik in the future. They would give the Wilsons a run for their money.
I did not make it to the other rooms. No analog this year was disappointing also.
Jfrech, I believe they were using the an ARC prototype tube DAC, ARC Ref 5 SE, and 4 ARC DS450m with the planar magnetic on wall Wisdom speakers.
