Anyone Attend RMAF?

Robsker - I didnt attend the show but have similar feelings on the trend with some super high end name speakers and systems I have heard at dealers. Precision bulldozes musicality. My best guess is some people enjoy sound more than music. To each his own.

This was my first show. I was there on Friday and Saturday. The poor selection of music is what really stood out to me.

The most musical rooms to my ears were the PS Audio and Jeff Rowland systems with YG Acoustic speakers. They were detailed, had great tonality, and the speakers totally disappeared.

A great show unlike New York show which looks like pure crap!!

Went to NY show it was PURE CRAP!!!!!

I didn't attend the show but I'm surprised to read that many rooms had a mono type soundstage. I've never had any problem getting good imaging. Even my $20 computer speakers, which are about 20 inches apart and a couple of feet from my ears, spread the instruments across the space between them.

As for the music played, maybe the vendors have heard enough of the Diana Krall complaints and decided to go in the opposite direction.
