    Three Rooms were unbelievably good IMHO.

    Best Overall: Gobel Epoque Reference/Stahl-Tek Room - unbelievably realistic full range sound.

    Amazing Midrange and Tonal Character for any system (digital or vinyl): Cabasse and Esoteric Room.

    All three of those rooms were absolutely beautiful and sweet sounding..

    I would give anything to have a room and the money for the Virtues. That room had the Acapella's the last couple of years and I loved those as well, to be honest I was disappointed when I found out they wasn't going to be there..

    I'll echo a few good impressions...

    The Gobel's were great. The bending wave driver is intriguing, and I thought the bass section was beautifully done.

    The Lansche/Ypsilon system was incredible, top to bottom.

    The new Legacy Aeris speaker is a step up.

    I really liked the new NOLA KO's, like a scaled-down Baby Grand.

    Danny Richie's new speakers, an open-baffle planar treble/servo bass combo, I really enjoyed.

    The new Wilson Audio speaker, I thought was wonderful.

    Jim Salk's new Soundscape 8's keep up the tradition of excellence for them.

    If anybody made it to the room with the new Leonardo speakers, powered w/ Audio Power Labs 833TNT's, it was wild and beautiful.

    Wouldn't it be more of your whole body Ken?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
