The new SmX 4K fabric needs to be seen/heard to be believed. The weave is so fine, even with corrected eye wear, I could not see the texture past 1m.
Cineramax's Barco delivers a 3D image like I've not seen before. I've had mixed feelings about 3D to even think that maybe it was all a fad. Yet, I was so impressed with this display, I went back for a 2nd course. Amazing imagery that had audience members literally reaching out to touch a fish in the IMAX footage. Converted 2D to 3D images look great too. I can now honestly appreciate Peter's excitement for 3D.
CinePro speakers just rock - literally. I loved the high SPL and clarity this system delivers and I walked out without the slightest sense of ear strain. The front stage was solid, the surrounds enveloping and the subs were not only deep, but physical.
Well done guys. You really have excelled.

The two most impressive rooms for me were the ADA Trinnov/Triad Platinum room and SMX/Cineramax/CinePro. Peter's 3D was best in show. He truly did bring the IMAX experience to the home in this demo.

The best AT screen is Ruben's new screen. This isn't even close. I didn't get to see it in the light, but with a full white screen it was difficult to see the weave at more than a foot or two. I am not sure why one would choose to go with a Stewart, if you have the choice to go with this screen.
