Thanks. Should be able to hit them tomorrow.
I heard them in the VTL room. I am unfortunately compromised there as I have good relationship with VTL guys so can't comment on anything negative .Thanks Amir. Much appreciated. The Nagra room also has them.
Quickly walked through Panasonic booth yesterday and there is no sign of Televisions. It was all home appliances and camcorders.Any news from Panasonic on bringing their OLED to the US. Saw one at Harrod's the other day. Nicest OLED picture I have seen yet, even if it is curved. Hope they bring a flat on to the US. Oh, and the price. £8,000 or $12,000. Ouch.
Spent quite a bit of time there. No time to document here. They had $500/pair bookshelves with in-house driver development. The woofer+mid-range is coaxial design. Played it loud and it handled it. That said, you don't forget they are bookshelf loudspeakers.If Elac is doing anything new, I'd like to get your impressions. There's been rumors that they'll be debuting their next speaker line, but I haven't seen anything official.
There was. No foul smells from visitors. Room heat and humidity made it uncomfortable at times but no where near the conditions of RMAF.I forgot.i hope that the use of deoderant is muchmore prevalent.
Saw them today and for a change, I received very warm and personal attention. My badge says "buyer" so maybe that has something to do with it.Amir, if you get a chance, you might want to check out Dan D'Agostino's new mono and stereo amps. They are apparently the most powerful amps he has ever made...and as you know, the old Krell's were not low powered wimps, LOL. Apparently, they will be 'slightly' less expensive than his top model Momentum's. I would imagine they must be real monsters...both in size and weight!
They had this in their super noisy booth in the main convention center but no way to properly audition it. But they told me they are also in Venetian so I should be able to see it if it is there.Technics?

I am of course very biased with respect to Revel line but no, they are not in the same class nor intended to be.I was hoping they would go a little further upmarket, but I look forward to your detailed notes later.
For a reference point, I was intending on purchasing the Revel M105, and was hoping Elac might add another contender in that relative price range. My gut feeling is that a $500 bookshelf, even sold direct, just wouldn't be enough speaker to reasonably compare.
Will do. Hit most of 29th floor but not all.Verity plus Zanden .... Verity Audio Inc. - Suite 29-220 , I think it is . Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers!

Here is the picture:
Please pardon the blue-hue. It is an aluminum frame and it has that color. The meter is now much larger and overall package, far less radical. I think it is a very good move for them to make it less quirky.
The heatsink is made out of aluminum rather than copper so that is a lot of cost saving. I asked them how hot it runs and he says not that hot.
I said this one must be a prototype since it is not powered. Yes, tricky of me . And he said that was true and they were waiting for the official batch of boards to show up. So naturally no feedback on sound quality. He said the design is almost the same so the sound should be as good. Price is $15,000 lower.

Quick feedback here. Listened for quite a bit of time there. It was in a very dead room with panels everywhere. As a result it had a very focused image that was quite stable. That image however was too high for my liking as the tweeters were well above my ear level. They played a track from Albita Yo Quisiera:Verity plus Zanden ....

They said they were done with loudspeakers and the focus from here on is electronics.Well, your bias is well-founded, imo. When I first auditioned them, the dealer left me alone for a good 2 hours. When he came back, my comment was that they didn't excite me (by which I mean nothing in the sound jumped out at me), but likewise I couldn't find a single complaint about them. They were just incredibly neutral speakers. Nothing I auditioned in the price range ($1,000 - $2,000 bookshelves) came close, including the much-beloved KEF LS50. The more I listened, the more I got drawn into them.
I was hoping Andrew Jones would design something that matched closely to that, but given their bottom-up approach (which I think is the right way to do it), what I'm looking for is at least a year away. Which means my purchase decision has been simplified.
