I believe that posting a link to an external site for show pictures is allowed here - Leo Yeh's MY-HiEND site is a great resource and is being continually updated from Munich.
 
No problem at all Bill. Thanks for posting.

Here a a few of the arguably most significant highlights imo:

1 The new flagship B&W 800 D3

I was knocked off my socks after hearing the 802 D3. I can just imagine this 800 top of the line model is one of the world's best speakers.

2 Audionet new Pre Amplifier Stern

4 The new Focal Sopra no.3

Bringing the Sopra even closer to the Utopia line.

Hello Bob, many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on this room....much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the show and look forward to hearing your thoughts on other rooms, especially the Kondo/Kaiser room, new Raidho D4.1 and Magico M3. Other rooms that may be great include the Zellaton room with their new Statement speaker. Thanks again. Cheers.

Hi Ash,

-Kondo/Kaiser room, I am so partial as I have been working this room for three days now. I can say that it is been JAM packed every day all day and it's a big room. Kaiser brought THREE truckloads of woodworking (all white) and acoustical panels that you can see in the pics. MANY people comment that it's like "being in heaven". The sound is interesting to me and is so big and open, but that is due to the size of the room, which is VERY large. It's not an intimate sound, but there are "no issues" with the sound. I personally believe that this exhibition between Kondo and Kaiser will bring great things to both companies in the future. It will also insure the preparation of the upcoming Kaiser statement speaker system, that should be done by Munich 2017.

I observed that really most guests loved the sound, although with the room being SO large it could easily accommodate a much larger speaker. The Kondo electronics and Ginga TT were spot on and luxurious sounding, again with no issues although the final culmination of the Kondo/Kaiser extravaganza will be realized once Kaiser completes the upcoming statement system.

-Zellaton room, the Zellaton new 800 lb speaker system is mesmerizing to view. Like the BIGGEST Diamonds that I have ever seen. There will be so much written about this room and being a competitive product to what I represent I won't offer an opinion on the sound of the system. I know that installing a system of this size takes a lot more than a day to get set up and settled in properly although I think the sound would be a manner of personal taste.

-Living Voice/Kondo room, I really think you have to sit and listen to this system to experience the feeling and emotional connection with the music to appreciate what this system is capable of. It's also in the "mesmerizing" category from a visual perspective, but here the sound is again something that I think must be experienced to understand. Words would diminish the feeling that I had listening to this system....sorry.

-Raidho D4.1, I am SURE that Raidho aficionados LOVED the new D4.1, they are gorgeous to look at the their bigger brothers standing behind them as well. I only listened briefly and did not really get an impression of the sound vs. the thousand other times that I've listened to Raidho. I didn't hear anything wrong, but honestly it's like jumping in and out of Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos.....you name it, and after a while it's hard to get a handle on what you are hearing.

I NEVER judge speakers or electronics at a show, it's just to look at them and meet the people that represent and have made them. The sound is dependent on setting up these reference systems in one day in an "exhibition setting". I would say that I was impressed with almost any room that visited and thought most systems were very enjoyable. Although I have bouncing back and forth between the Vitus, Magico, Absolare, Thrax, Ubiq (Sheraton Hotel for Ubiq) and spending the majority of my time working in the Kondo Kaiser rooms as all of these rooms are lines that I represent.

Too biased with my opinions so take any comments here with a grain of salt....off to the show for day 3:audiophile:
 
Thank you Rhapsody for interesting comments.
This year I could not attend because of family obligations, my uncle celebrates today his 90th anniversary.

I always liked Kawero speakers , the presentation in 2014 with Engstroem tube amps and Totaldac in the small room was one of the best of show for me.

If not Avantgardes, I would go for Kawero and tubes , a bit less expensive than Kondo however :)
