My buddy is showing the new Gobel Epoque Aeon Fine that were in my very large room for a month that while in my room was blowing away every single person who heard them. He sent me a picture of his tiny room at Axpona that he was able to get in haste for Axpona and I was sure his first introduction of these amazing speakers was going to be a dud. Apparently they are a huge hit. One thing I have learned is to never give a definitive judgement of a component or system from what I hear at a show. +1 No one attending a show should put sq anywhere high on the list of expectations. These are temporary setups in hotel rooms! I would make sure you make a list of those manufacturers and dealers you want to meet and converse with, get to those rooms where you can see the build quality of products you are interested in, and have a good time listening to music in less-than-optimal settings. Oh, and use the show as a chance to set up demos at home, etc. The comraderie of fellow attendees is a nice byproduct too. The OP went to Axpona with unrealistic expectations unfortunately. To report on rooms sounding bad is a slippery slope to the obvious. mourip and Hugo9000 2 "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.
