great show. saw some stereophile writers there too. people were nice and the vibe was good. think it was because it was a smaller show. really enjoyed the evolution acoustics room...wow, it was great - especially when they where using the reel to reel tape. Legacy room suprised me how good it sounded. I always thought having all of those drivers would make an incoherent mess, but it sounded big, detailed, and balanced...of course the room was really big. Most of the rooms sounded good to really good. Only a couple provided a sound that drove me out. Felt the Genesis with Parasound room was too bright. Fun time!
California Audio Show ths wknd bttr than expected
If you live in the SF Bay Area, I encourage to attend the show today or tomorrow (7/31-8/1) in Emeryville. It's a small show, as first-year shows tend to be, but it exceeded my expectations with several excellent rooms. Only if people attend in decent numbers this year is there a chance for this to be a regular event, which would be a great thing. Lots of local companies not showing this year but if the show does well, maybe they will next.
Congratulations to Constantine Soo.
