Only here six hours. Further reports to follow. Wisnon Lampizator room was a bust. Speaker guy did not show up. They were scrambling to put a system together. I saw these huge lamp dacs?7 vs amps Sadly no evaluation. Maybe Mike can wander by later in the week.
Highlights-got to meet out chief The grand poo bah Mike. Just a great guy u want to hang with. I liked the : zellaton room, vienna acoustic the Music, vac focal, dag integrated with Wilson Duettes, saw the Cary new streamer and Lumin room
Many Alexia's and Dag amps. Quickly went to Mirage to see Static Sasha2 prototype. Pictures will follow Slightly less similar to Alexia than I initial thought but should b outstanding value and sound.

Great meeting Nick and seeing Bob (absolare) and James from Bryston and John too!

No pics tonight. Internet is down at Wynn due to over demand.

Sounds like a good time though i have to chuckle at the irony of no wifi connectivity at CES!! :)
Guys, send pics! Would love to know if Verity Audio is there. Nick, any pics or details on the zellaton ref speakers? Have only seen pics of those beauties.

Yeah baby....... my speakers are in the likes :baby:
 
Here r some photos from CES plus sasha 1 next to sasha 2 with split grill upper module at the private Mirage Wilson Suite.IMG_1327.JPGIMG_1345.JPGIMG_1347.JPGIMG_1348.JPGIMG_1349.JPGIMG_1351.JPGIMG_1352.JPGIMG_1353.JPGIMG_1354.JPGIMG_1355.JPGIMG_1358.JPGI believe you can c the Zellaton speakers reference with new CH precision monoblocks(if u have an extra 100k burning a hole in your pocket. I also think Martens ref. is in there. First picture is from SF demo of Kaiser vivace in SF importers apartment. The other speaker which impressed me was the Vienna acoustics the music. The new small trickle down version without supertweeter and smaller woofers was nice but clearly pale in comparison. Both have smallish footprints. The sasha photos r showing side , back, and front differences in the updated more adjustable 2 version vs. the original . THe other speaker shown with Viola electronics was the new Ocean wave Montecito. Their new small speakers which was still way too large for my space. Wide and taller than an Alexia by a lot. It had a lovely horn tweeter but a somewhat boomy bass. Sound nice until I played bass heavy pieces. Enjoy

Yeh that whole room was extensively treated on sides, ceilings and between speakers. Focal with vacs were also massive with tremendous impact on orchestral music. Mike was in the room with Kevin Hayes of VAC for sometime enjoying the tunes.

Bob. That's not the Music speakers. It's the new one as Nick mentioned. Smaller version of Music speakers. :)
