Whats your "best of CES 2008"

MBL had incredible sound (even though the guy running the system on Wed. was a schmuck).

The MBL set-up was freakish and when brought to hi levels seemed to get grainny and not at all lifelike in the mid range. I thought the Totem room more pleasing to listen to. (And you could buy a nice condo in Vegas with the price dif)
Pass Labs SR1 was a very engaging speaker that made it hard to leave the room.

Davore Silverbacks were stunnng

Usher "Tiny Dancer" was disappointing, lacking depth and realism - could have been any number of things though but they didn't sound very good. Bad luck being next to Totem also, which always does a great job with settng up.

Escalante Freemonts powered by Electrocomaniet is magical

For HT i thought the Definetive Mythos STS was nice for the price.

Mac TT was unique

All things Wadia were leading edge tech. By far the most impressive product line. Those guys do things right.

Clarity Cables digital remastering does an incredible job.

The Tiny Dancer is an incredibly overhyped speaker IMO.

Comparably priced monitors such as the Harbeth 7ES-3 and SPL Timepiece Mini absolutely smoke the TD.

The $2500/pair LSA1-Statements were far superior to the Usher Tiny Dancers.

I heard the Tiny Dancers at C.E.S. and they rocked. I listened to pretty much all the high end brands in Vegas that were at C.E.S. and I think the Tiny Dancers award was well deserved. They need to be powered well. I'm kind of sick of people judging speakers with low powered 30 watt amps, and then saying that the speakers aren't very good. Power them correctly and you will be rewarded. I don't have the Tiny Dancers, but after hearing them perform I am strongly considering them.
