FWIW my absolute Best In Show was the Wilson XLF Thor demo in the large room at the Hyatt. It was IMHO the very best audio demo I have ever heard and then to come back later in the day to a packed house of the Wilson Owners Group in the same room and to meet amongst others John Curl was an experience I won't ever forget. Simply put it was beyond anything I have ever heard.
Kudos also to Debbie Wilson for taking me and my good friend Carl who goes by cjfrbw here up to Dave Wilson's suite in the Hyatt for a half hour one on one with Dave Wilson. To hear his history in this hobby was wonderful. He is truly a pioneer in the industry. I won't forget that close up and personal and getting an insight into the philosophy behind Wilson Audio.
Dave is an absolute gentleman and scholar.
I also remain tight in my comments about Nick Doshi's room with all of his new electronics. It was simply beautiful to listen to. Much warmer than the big Wilson display and his room was my sentimental favorite. I was in that room 10-12 times over the weekend and it needs to be heard to be believed. IMO Nick is an absolute genius in what he created and I wish him and Larry from Paragon the absolute best. If anyone has a chance to hear his electronics I'd say run,don't walk
Steve,
Great to read your first opinions - particularly now that I am biased part of the Wilson Owners Group.
Looking for the pictures and more detailed findings.
