CAF 2025

@orchardaudiollc great discounts. Thanks

I also meant to mention the AGD room with Fisher and Fisher speakers, the smaller speakers, 371 or 471 I think. Really superb sound. Not at all they stereotype class D sound, excellent regardless of amplifier class. certainly a viable alternative to anything out there at least my ears.And the Fisher and Fisher speakers sounded great. 
 

what was even better is that the AGD designer, Alberto, was in the room and was providing answers to questions and a great explanation of the technology involved. Good room,

I forgot to add...best sound at the show to me was the Tidal room. Speakers $64k, amp was like $94k, cables were eye watering expensive. Dual REL Carbon Specials. Amazing 3 dimensionality and realism. Speakers disappeared. I’m convinced the subs brought it to the next level. And they had doughnuts.

AGD room sounded really good as usual.

Standouts

GT Audioworks - Always among the best
Maggie 30.x - no OB woofers - what a $$$$ speaker system should do
Marten small monitor - I never heard their speakers before
Cheeky LC2 - for 2k a steal, but I think the stands in the demo cost more than the speakers
Dynaudio Active standmount - Amazing full range sound and great imaging
La Dolce Audio Open Baffle Horn Level 2 - I'm not an OB or a horn guy - the bass was real and full

I just posted in the other CAF thread as well, but yes- those Dynaudio Actives were amazing to my ears.

I was also impressed by the Odyssey room.
