I have attended RMAF every year this far and I agree that this seemed to be a disappointment. On Saturday the halls were empty, in the past you had to struggle to get from end to the other, attendance was way down. I noticed Friday as I was waiting to buy my pass (normally I pre-buy on line) I realized that the pre-registered lines were empty. That was the first indicator. The vendor rooms were good but usually very few people in each. As far as my favorites, I think the ZU speakers made the biggest impression and I was pleased to hear the Revel's for the first time. SVS had great demo for HT on a low budget, for 1500-1800 you could really have a good sounding HT with great impact. Used vinyl was down as well and way overpriced. Why buy used when some re-releases are $10 more?
All in all this was the least amount of time I have spent at the show. But yet I will attend next year because it is still to close not to.
