Did anyone else from the Forum visit this show?
It’s great being able to show off new toys to thousands of hifi lovers in one place and this seems to be one of the best organised events in the country. Apparently, there were 3,000 – 4,000 over the two days, many of whom looked to have the funds to buy a great system.
The photo shows what The Danish Audio Company were demonstrating. This was to illustrate that full range speakers can give optimal results from a relatively affordable one box amp even with speakers against the walls with RoomPerfect.
Apparently it was one of the busiest rooms at the show with all 12 seats filled most of the time, often by listeners who returned again and again for a reality check.
Many people commented it was one of the best sounding rooms and that it sounded great throughout the room and even in the hallway.
Another thing that was mentioned was that in the rooms where large speakers were used, they were typically placed 6 feet away from rear walls in an effort to stop boominess…. but most still had obviously problems in their low-end performance because of room modes.
Aside from people loving the sound of both systems the biggest problem was people constantly walking up to the B&W speakers because they couldn’t believe it wasn’t these playing and that it was the little MH2 speakers with BW2’s.
If anyone from this Forum visited, it would be great if you could share your feedback here.
This is the only feedback from a Forum member I’m aware of so far
“First time I heard the Lyngdorf equipment was at the weekends show. Have to agree it was best in show by a considerable margin, even against systems there costing
hundreds of thousands! (a lot of which sounded terrible).
The ability of the small sub sat system to fill the large room (appx 7m x 6m) was staggering….. sounded great with both the bw 803 and the Lyngdorf sub sat system.
Very tempted, but need to know the best way forward and to how to integrate into my system-need movies and music and have 2 active subs, 5.4.2 system.”
