Popular Post DuckToller Posted June 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thank you Chris, for this excellent story and great visuals to underline your special experience. I found that a lot of people in Bavaria/Munich have a more special touch with people, aesthetics and comportment compared to other big cities in Germany. I hadn't noticed that in the 40 years in lived in Germany. Cheers, Tom ecwl and The Computer Audiophile 2 Link to comment

ShawnC Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Chris, did you get to hear those Wisdom speakers? If so, do you remember what model. I've always wanted hear their take on planar magnetic technology but they have very few venders nationwide.

You reminded me that I heard the Wisdom LS4s, apparently the top of the line of this brand, at the last audio show I went to. Unbalanced sound, the subwoofer was blubbering away too much, and there were clear issues with the state of tune of the rig - it could go loud, but it wasn't delivering the SQ that should accompany those volume levels; I didn't stay long.

PYP Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 More like this! Wonderful read and photos. Thank you. I have found it rare in the states to find a store that gets the sound right, never mind having a broader vision of music and art. jtnt 1 Grimm Audio MU1 > Mola Mola Tambaqui > Mola Mola Kaluga > B&W 803 D3 Cables: Kubala-Sosna Power management: Shunyata Room: Vicoustics “Nature is pleased with simplicity.” Isaac Newton "As neither the enjoyment nor the capacity of producing musical notes are faculties of the least use to man...they must be ranked among the most mysterious with which he is endowed."

Popular Post bobfa Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 I have never seen a store like that. Wonderful! So well curated and clean. Great themes. The care and planning that goes into that is just amazing. Chris thanks for sharing. Steve_Burl and jtnt 1 1 My Audio Systems Link to comment

ksprul Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Chris that main room looks amazing! Have to wonder how the folks who spent all the effort to put on the show would feel about reading your headline. Sounds like you had a wonderful experience at my sound but maybe that can stand alone rather than be comparative. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work, Karl Link to comment
Elberoth Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 This is the best shop I've been to. Did they drop the Pass, Spectral and Soulution gear ?

Ralf11 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 one has to consider that a listening room as visually pleasing as that one will certainly affect SQ perceptions - not that the gear isn't of the highest quality Link to comment
Sal1950 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The cakes at the bakery looked like the best part of all. 😁 "The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years.

Jud Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 "Wolfgang shot these images during his travels over the years and had them printed on acoustically transparent material. Behind the images are systematically placed acoustic panels for diffusion and absorption." Brilliant idea - wonder how difficult it would be to "DIY" something like that. (Source the acoustically transparent material and the acoustic panels, have the printing done from photos you've taken....)

Like anything, once you know how to do it, it's easy :~) I think Wolfgang put in a lot of time finding the right materials and printing house etc... I don't want to give away his solution.
