Audio shows — big room or a little room?
I just completed my first exhibition at an audio show. The only rooms that were available were “standard“ rooms, in this case, at Pacific Audio Fest, The standard rooms were decently sized at 15 wide...

Re: Pacific Audio Fest Postponed until 2022

USA, mep — like the 2 Bobs hosting the room, made in the USA. Unlike the gear, the 2 Bobs are classics from the 1950s.

Re: Magico M9
I agree with this, Mike Lavigne‘s system is clearly a “system” which includes his room, same with the M9‘s at the Magico facility which is in a well-built room. There’s no doubt the room is a major...
