Just curious, are the Harbeths on display at the show ? I am particularly interested in the Harbeths, Accuphase and Dynaudios.
What are the pmc's paired with ?
Was at the show today.
Burmester and the Focal rooms were bad. Period. Some Jagjit stuff was playing in the Burmester room. It sounded completely off and pathetic. In the Focal room, Dire Straits was playing. It sounded very edgy and shrill. I am sure the stuff in these rooms were great but some novice seems to have set it up.
For me the star of the show was pmc's setup and dynaudios bookshelves. Simply brilliant. The likes of b&w and dali were as expected, good performers and pricy. The tannoys setup was perfect and the speaker sounded good too. ...........
I am traveling from Ahmedabad tomorrow just to attend the show . Also hope to meet few FM . Bhawagan : I have not met you anytime before but would like to meet you there . So how do I meet you ?
H = No

You can come to listen to the Dynaudio Excite & Contour Series with Parasound Amplification..
Thanks Bhagwan
Was there last evening at 6. Heard the excite 34 as well as the contour bookshelves. Very nice. Unfortunately the focus bookshelves weren't set up.
Thanks Bhagwan. I have heard stuff at Boomerang. Grattan sets it up well. Maybe the Focals have had no break in. Ditto for the Burmester.
No Bhagwan, i did not visit the 9th floor. I had come down specifically to hear the Tannoys.
A few comments, for whatever they are worth...
It is a decent show, well worth a visit.
The star is undoubtedly the PMC room, kudos to Mr. Khushroo for setting it up so well.
The B&W rooms were equipped with some fancy equipment, but sadly, B&Ws have never really tickled my ears.
The Tannoys did not sound too great.
The Dyn Excites sounded ok, but maybe they need to also have the Contours on display to make their room come alive.
The Paradigms were not setup very well, I have heard the S8s to sound much better.
The Legacys were a pleasant surprise...to my ears the imaging and resolution sounded good, but be sure to ask the exhibitor to keep the volume at sane levels, as the bass is way overpowering at the levels he enjoys demoing them.
Quite a lot of focus on speakers. Which are the great amps etc on show? Will visit this after noon most likely.
Sir,
The focus was on speakers, because of all the components in a system, arguably it is the speakers which contribute the most in presenting the sound one finally hears from a system. Amps do make a difference, but not to the extent that speakers do. My apologies however for not mentioning any of the amps!
Some of the notables representing the amp brigade were Arcam, AVM, Bel Canto, Burmester, Bryston, MBL, Parasound, Jeff Rowland, Lexicon (HT).
The Parasound struck me as good vfm.
