You can contact Martion Audio about the venue nearby the MOC. I don't think it is very expensive.Second MOC exhibtions are not cheap
Or what about Hifideluxe?
Would like to listen to your big speakers, the YTs are quite nice

Sorry for the OT here, but one question: which preamps were or are these amps used with? Is it possible to use them with highly efficient speakers?Worth seeking out, however note that they take a VERY long time to fully break in, especially for the latest versions having the Litz transformers, about at least one year, or even longer! But perhaps with the most intense drive singe ended amps I ve listened to, as I have compared them to the NAF monoblocks ,the Vivas, and Kondos in a different system. Most truly musically neutral as well, and sounds even better with Psvne , or Lin Lai Tubes, although long term reliability of those after market 845 tubes is yet to be determined. All this from my personal, long term experience in my own system, as well as in local audiophiles systems in NY/NJ area.
Did you compare the sound of this video to the Toaldac video?This is an excellent video. Near perfect sound and picture. It is long so get your Favorite chair and beverage and enjoy.
Note to exhibitors: Music selection
Las year at CAF ab exhibitor stopped me in the hallway. He asked what kind of music to people like.
Nothing sends potential customers screaming from the room Ike loud screeching treble.
Nothing brings them in like a nice smooth midrange.
Bass sells. They want a nice clean tight bass. A good double bass is a place to start.
Throw in serval solo or ax Apela selections.
Remember late in the day listening fatigue is bound to set in.

On the one hand, I completely understand that. On the other hand, if every manufacturer had this approach, there would be no Munich HighEnd.First of all they are a pain in the ass to transport.

Yes. But that should depend on the room. Those large, hall-like rooms that JMF or Diesis had, for example, could be difficult (although it sounded okay at JMF) and very small rooms too (Destiny). My 2 cents.Hifi deluxe is may be possible indeed

Yes, indeed. Incidentally, I found the sonic presentation a little - well, let me say: minimally - over-emphasised. By that I mean the treble in particular. This would definitely be a system that you could get to sing well and better at home. However, I also missed low bass. But even that could possibly be remedied.FM room is nice too.

Unfortunately, I haven't listened to the others you mentioned.
I don't think this is right about the tube life. The 62B tubes seem to last nearly forever. I had an Ayon Crossfire III with the same tubes and it just runs and runs.I ve heard the Ayon Vulcan monoblocks and those are amazing sounding, if one has relatively sensitive speakers. As I have planar Eminent Tech 6 full range with 82 db sensitivity and hellish 2 ohm impedance drops in the bass region, the Mastersound Pff 100 were the only one that could drive these approaching proper dynamics these speakers are capable of. However with my other "normal" speakers like REGA RS-10 with about 86 db sensitivity, the Ayon Vulcan sounded amazingly refined, albeit with little less drive than the Mastersound Pff 100. Bear in mind that the tubes in the Ayon Vulcan only last about 200-2500 hours and are rather pricey, and are sold only from one source. Factory Shuguang Tubes in the PFF 100 last forever if properly biased every coiple of month!Vaic amps were made by the Mastersound as far as I know.
Vaic are fantastic as well, and can be bought for peanuts , compared to other brands new models.
I guess it's the DNA that matters most in this case. Also, I always say, when we say we "like" a brands "sound" we mostly like what the designer or the design team likes to hear. Especially with todays material and technology availability, in the end it is how the designer or the design team like to hear the music. Same applies to the room, which I also believe is a very important element of the system chain, depending on especially the speaker's room dependability. So if the same person is setting up the system, natural that the sound signature is the same.. But totally agree, getting same kind of sound from totally different character elements is a success.Thanks for sharing your experience in Munich and inspiring me to attend next year.
One room you mention, Air Tight, was a favorite of mine at AXPONA 2024. Small room but exceptionally musical with life and a sound that invited one to stay and listen. Very different supporting electronics than in Munich (Soulution, Franco Serblin, Muse TT/Reed tonearm) but the result apparently was the same.
Dear Rexp,"MBL Room;
Another brand of which sound signature I am familiar with, but doesn't sing to me. As always wonderful sounding room."
You seem to be contradicting yourself?
Sounding good here:Yes. It got better day by day. They found more optimization between Saturday and Sunday. It was another 30-40% better on Sunday.
I respectfully but emphatically disagree:I'll pass along a comment by a famous manufacturer who said that when you go into a room demo, you can tell within 5 seconds if the sound is good so you can decide quickly if you want to stay and listen.
For my next commercial project ./ modelRevelator from the outside, but often with some tweaks, such as the QuadraMag structure:

We dont agree often but I do agree with this. I think Pilium and Soulution are very different sounding. One may prefer the more detailed sound of the Soulution or the warmer more laid back sound of the Pilium however that choice may have to do with the system or the persons preferences.They are both different sounding, andro has no idea.
