Flash report from 2009 T.H.E. Show

Attended opening day with a friend.
Weather was perfection (60 degrees, sunny, no wind).
Very light attendance (plenty of elbow room, easy to stroll around the beautiful Alexis Park courtyard).
Actually had free parking on the resort grounds!

Best of show (IMHO)

Evolution Acoustics MM Mini-Two powered by Dartzeel integrated.

Show Highlights

-Harbeth Monitor 40.1
-Magnaplanar Demo (Their new speakers will blow your mind while rocking your world!)
-"Live or Memorex" (DSD recording VS live piano)
-Absolutely the largest collection of LPs and CDs I've ever seen! Acoustic sounds, MusicDirect (Mobile Fidelity), Reference Recordings -Mind boggling!

There were many great speakers new to me that really excelled. Brodmann, Analysis Audio (Apogee-like planars), Teresonic (Awsome Lowther based), Studio Electric and the Neeper "Perfection One".

A day well spent...

Hello Audiogon,

Thank you Dweller for the nice words about our Neeper Speakers. Their is one correction that I would like to point out though. The Perfection One does not use the same drivers found in the Wilson Sophia. The Wilson uses a standard 6.5" Scanspeak driver with a 10" woofer to accomplish a 29Hz -3dB bass frequency response. The Perfection One uses two 5.25" custom scanspeak drivers with 6.5" magnets on the back of them giving the P1 a much higher impulse response. The Perfection One is able to reach 30Hz -3dB without the use of a larger subwoofer like the Sophia. Their is one drawback to this configuration though which is the P1's 87 dB sensitivity.

The amplification for our show setup consisted of a Sovereign Glory power amplifier (240W into 8 OHMS) and the Aaron preamplifier. You can find more information on both of these products at:

If you have any questions about the products we distribute please feel free to contact me anytime. I would be happy to help.

Thanks,

Thank you Zenblaster,

At the show we kept finding that the roof of the room was flexing to much. Drop in panels with good tight bass do not match. Currently we have the show pair traveling around to dealers for demonstration so if you would like please drop me an email and I will let you know when a pair is in your area.

Thanks,

Cole Hatfield
