Why can't they get a proper forum?

'cause they like access quick; lean and mean.
I like AA's interface a lot; it is no nonsense and has served 'em well.

Agree with you. It’s kinda clunky.

The camera didn't break?

WTH at 14:10-14:28?

I've never seen that before.

At 14:35, the guy on the right farted. Watch.

I liked the sound in that Aurender room a lot though! What speakers are those?
Nice bass and lively sound.

Clipdat

Tony those are the Aurender S88 prototype speakers.

Pretty good. Those Accuton drivers for the bass are very nice.

Thanks for the extra info on those speakers Drew!

Damn I have expensive taste!

I wonder if they are those woofers used in a Devialet speaker system?

VR3

Heard the devialet and no, that is not a high end speaker, but a very expensive lifestyle product. The tweeter on that thing is nasty with very bloated bass

Aluminum sandwich drivers sound tasty

Terrible quality photo's compared to yours - they look like there were taken on a Moto razor!

Clipdat

Thanks for the kind words, Dave!

Pretty cool post from ASC showing some of the rooms at the show that were utilizing their tube trap products. Figured the room setup buffs like @DSkip might like this: http://www.acousticsciences.com/cas-show-2019-gallery
