The same system at Axpona wasn't very good. Blurred, boomy bass overrode everything. I have no doubt the system can sound great, but it didn't in Chicago.
This system at Axpona 2017 was also disappointing. However, I draw no conclusions on the system from this. Many factors can play into that, such as set-up issues, room acoustics and crappy supply of power in those hotel rooms.
My mantra is: If a system sounds great at a show, it is great. If a system sounds bad at a show, this is meaningless as a data point.
Agreed, which is why I made the point that I don't doubt it can sound great. What surprised me was the amount of praise heaped on it when it sounded clearly off to me each time I heard it.
I respect everyone's opinion as to what they experienced from the show. Just because the audio press had a different experience doesn't make them dishonest. I find that a little harsh. People have different preferences or why even have different brands of speakers.Same at Axpona 2017. Shows the subservient dishonesty of the audio press.
Nothing wrong with differences of opinions. I didn't follow what happen with Peter here on the forum.Wasn't this the nub of Peter Wankergate Breuninger's tirade against us? How dare we leave conflicting reviews to disagree with the great man's words of praise.
That so begs the question. Assuming you were there , Were you satisfied with the sound, Mr. Swanson?I respect everyone's opinion as to what they experienced from the show.

But like I said I respect everyone's opinion
I don't respect everyones' opinion, I do however defend their right to state it.. I interpret your answer " very" to meas you were there and liked the sound of your system. I infer then I was hearing what you wanted me to hear. I find that very interesting.
