Corrections
1. I said Clarisys Audio speaker in the Hegel room was hard to drive, Clarisys Audio reached out and informed me their speaker is not hard to drive, has a 6ohm load and only drops down to 5.5ohm.
2. I mixed up mixed up Aurender with Auralic when covering the room with the streamers.
if anybody notices any other mixups or mistakes in the show coverage plz let me know, I'm in & out of these rooms quickly and edit/upload the videos in my hotel room around 1am so I'm pretty exhausted during this whole process, I can never promise perfection but I'm happy to point out inaccuracies when they're brought to me.

Erin, Randy and you are who I tune into the most for gear reviews/news. I understand there is a darkside between reviewers and manufacturers but I prefer never to hear about it as turns me off.

Nemo! I met you coming out of the Meitner room; you took 15 minutes out of your day to specifically address my sub situation. Haven’t yet acquired the JL, but I did ditch the remote transmitter for a quality interconnect. Bam! Delay has disappeared and my rig has never sounded better. Thank you Nemo!

hey what's up man, it was my pleasure! Those side conversations are what I show up for, filming all the rooms is secondary. The people and conversations are what make the show such a fun time for me :)

Agreed re: Morel. Those $2,000 towers were excellent and the little “Biggies” were amazing. The value of these shows is the exposure of the “Law of Diminishing Returns!” The new MoFi towers were excellent and the Vanatoos and Hsus don’t get enough respect.

Plenty of channels looking at the big names and big rooms at this show, not enough looking at the little/new companies. Eye candy speakers are neat but useless for a TON of people. Parts Express diverted from their usual pack of components and showed some completed gear they have worked on over the last year, huge sound coming from those white bookshelves in the room

I'd imagine the driver cost, unothodox assembly, and shipping logistics just raise the barrier of entry. They also need bigger rooms and people with bigger rooms usually have deeper pockets and want nicer finishes.

Personally I don't see any point paying for speakers more than what the Wharfedale Elysian series cost. I wouldn't buy any of these ridiculously priced speakers even if I was a multimillionaire. Maybe some see it as art pieces and justify it that way, but c'mon man $250K? lol

@NemoPropaganda 2 ай бұрын

I get what you mean, it certainly gets crazy. I'm guessing people with speakers like that just have really big rooms and maybe its their way of treating themselves. Imagine being around 65+ years old, you're retired, you've sold your business, you have a bunch of money and not a lot of years left to spend it, you've setup accounts for the grandkids, etc... Most of you rother hobies are perhaps too cumbersome in older age and all that's left is to treat yourself :)
