Re: Official 2015 RMAF Picture & Comment Thread

The Devialet Phantom for the money is quite good. It's the type of product that will take a current Bose listener to the next level up.

I sat with 12 people yesterday and we all agreed on the Kii's. Blah. Boomy bass and a unimpressive tweeter. BUT, let's remember the rooms here aren't the best. I see their potential as a lifestyle product.

Aside from Avantgarde (because I'm biased!), I was most impressed with YG. Damn, they had speakers in 3 or 4 rooms and they were all tops. YG speakers were the only common denominator.

Second, the Focal Sopra 1's with the little NAIM integrated sounded damn good and the Focal Sopra 2's with the Aesthetix sounded excellent.

I loved the new VAC Signature 200's with the Focal Grande Utopia's. These amps from VAC are so cool. You can use any KT tube type - just pop them in, the auto bias IQ technology does the rest. Kt88, kt120, kt150 and go! The room sounded great.

The Lampi/Vapor/Resolution Acoustics room sounded good - but a tad loud seemed to be the common comment.

I have the entire other side of the building to cover AND the Hyatt and continue to work the Avantgarde room. Phew!

Thanx!

For those of you there, if anyone gets a chance to listen to the Audio Physic Avanti speaker, I would appreciate any listening impressions. Mike posted a pick of it earlier in the thread. Thx for all the pics and keep 'em coming.

Check out audio circle (Tyson and Pez) coverage of the A-Physics speakers. Wide, complex soundstage comes to mind...

I'm using the camera icon on the app. Is this better?

Mike. I got a little suggestion. When you upload the pic please upload by camera icon instead of file ( paper clip ) icon ( on your Tapatalk ) . This way it will show the pic on post.

Thanks

Yes.

Well, I'm using the camera icon. Sorry. Maybe Joe can enlarge them all.

Big switch from Carl's usual ARC Ref 75. But I meant what is the Q4 on the floor stand? Is that in the Nola room? It was grouped with the Nola pics.

He has used these for several years now.

Touted as the $1 million system. If you don't like wearing headphones, this will give you the same sound....but for a $1 million. [emoji6]

It's perfect now after Joe edited it. Thanks again!
