That's good to hear b/c last their my wife and I had to leave their demo within minutes b/c it was WAY too loud and very shrill sounding.
I didn't go to CEDIA last year. But at this years show, they clearly had the best demo. Think goosebumps. They are actually crossing over each speaker at around 400HZ (not a typo). Hence, the boundary woofers are the farthest thing from a subwoofer. The timing is perfectly aligned using their room perfect algorithm and the sound stage is downright
massive. I will say, the demo was fairly loud and just the way I like it.
Their secret is super low mass woofers that are fairly linear that can take over in that 400HZ range and below. To add impact, you used a stacked group of large woofers in the two front corners taking advantage of the room gain and then Room Perfect made the less than ideal placement response flat at the listening positions. The end result was an
incredibly tight articulate bottom end like you never heard before. No sub-sat concept can compete. When explosions happened in the rear, it front corner woofage sounded like it was behind me. But again, it was $120K system. But we have all heard $120K crappy systems too. This one was a $120K AMAZING system. When I was at Peter's home in Denmark in 2008, Robert Harley happened to be sitting next to me as he was also on the DALI tour (Peter owns DALI). We both have never heard soundstage and tight bottom end such as his system. I bought one of their systems for my system. I repeated the results. But Peter's tweaks and knowledge out performed my room by a 1/2 a letter grade. I diverge...
I asked them to play a 7.2 versus a 7.2.4 comparison as Dolby had it on their demo disk. It was a night and day difference. The Atmos crushed the 7.2 soundtrack.
It would be interesting to re-compute the system total if you used your own speakers (still buying his boundary woofer array). I would use the new DALI Rubicon LCR Onwall which is now slightly polite on the top end and the Rubicon 8's (which I own) loudspeakers. I bet I cut the price point in more of the affordable range.
