Nothing to really see here, but I put it because this is the only HT room and this is AC/DC in concert. The pic below shows what is playing. This projector was mighty, mighty fine. Sound was good (meh), I don't think AC/DC can really demonstrate all there is. Highest and deepest are nowhere to be found.
I don't know the number of subwoofers.
Now this was something crazy. Jeff Rowland amp, Clear Audio TT and some Logans. The sound was really all they say it would be. Airy, not pin-pointed, somehow spacious (or was it all in my head). Really different sounding. I sat for half an hour, it glued me. Some lady was murdering the Famous Blue Raincoat originally from Cohen (she was terrible), but I guess it was used because of all the instruments in the song that they used this rendition.
This one was very strange. With speakers toed in, moving one chair to aside in any direction made you not hear the other speaker AT ALL. You can probably make out Leben electronics, but the star or "star" of the room was the tracking TT. I wasn't impresed. It sounded good as long as you're sitting in the dead center of the speakers. I'm telling you, moving one seat aside and it was mono.
These guys bring a lot of good stuff in the country. Here presenting ATC (some may remember these were close second when I was buying, I think it was
@KenM10759 who pointed out some resonance in the closure that might even be audible). This was my opportunity to see Aurender at work as it is extremely expensive gear. This was ATC SCM19.
This was the top of my audio enjoyment. Not only because I like Luxman, but because the sound was heavenly. Playing here pure ClassA Luxman 2x20 into 8 and 2x40 into 4 solid state with some ridiculous "lectricity purifiers" (who gives a damn, the sound was good). These amazing Avantgarde Acoustics Zero were playing (the ones that are partly active - only the woofer, you need the amp for horn type midds and tweeter, which is why I guess the amp would suffice). The black ones in the pic. Woofer being active, I guess you do take some load of the amp to a certain extent. From the top, the new Luxman TT, belt drive but with SME 309 tone arm. This was the case where I couldn't tell if it was a record playing if it was a well kept one. We listened to some SACD's.
Beneath the TT you have a Phono amp, then the SACD and the amp at the bottom all coming from Luxman. I didn't get to hear these Tannoy's and compare the directivity with the other room that had them.
These horn based Avantgarde were very easy listening, I was sitting here until the end of the show. Never got tired.
