Well, serious buyers fly in to hear it. Nobody buys these systems of a review or a forum. I love Roy's reviews because it's detailed and focus on music, inner detail and transportation of the musical message

He did mention Negatives , the need for a very large listening room and 750k worth of myrrh .....!
Absolutely no negatives implied.
It was just simply that one comment in his review that is so at odds with show visitors who often stated otherwise, re scale of imaging.

So show goers said too big in scale , Roy says it scales correctly , which is correct ,, maybe both ...!
Different circumstances for sure ....!

I recall listening to AG Trios over a decade ago.
I was totally bowled over by what made them great.
But I really struggled with the feeling I was one of the visitors to Land Of The Giants.
That alone would have deterred me from buying them.

When you write "constant refrain" would you please tell us precisely how many people you have spoken with about the Atrium exhibit in Warsaw?

One. Plus comments online from some visitors to the room. Not all of them. Some.
Yes, constant refrain is maybe too strong a descriptor, but overly large scaling is certainly part of a handful of comments.
As it is for so many very big spkrs systems (see the XVX visitor thread recently posted)
Let's call it, "some comments".
The fact that Roy's comments reminded me of those others must mean I've read the large imaging comment more than once.
Clarysis reply that big spkrs in a small room doesn't help certainly rings true.
Really?
"Like any (even the best) hi-fi system, the Atrium isn’t going to fool you into thinking that there are live musicians, right there in front of you."
There is no negative and Roy is correct. High End will always be an approximation, mostly because of the recordings and lack of people and the space.
