Our Show Report(s)

The Show Report is splitting into 2 reports. The main RMAF 2009 Show report is on Spintricity. We will not talk about sound there for the reasons stated there.

Our readers here we expect are more interested in the hardcore technical description of the sound – and we will post that here in this blog.

For example the Wadia room system. To force listeners to listen off-axis the Dynaudio apparently put the speaker’s tweeter close to the floor. Since I took photos crouching in the front of the system, and then sat front row almost center [it had an interesting sound that peeked my curiosity] it worked for me. In a in-home situation, most people who listen from a sweet spot will have the tweeters in their sight which is all that is required for this design to work. In the few minutes I had I was not able to figure out what it was about this system that I thought might be worth investigating further. It was certainly a soft, and digititus-free sound [which does not mean it was analog-sounding]. Maybe they just removed all the frequencies above 3000Hz – but I did not think so at the time. It seemed to have good separation, and controlled midi-dynamics – typically uncharacteristic of solid-state sound. Guess I should wait until I get to the photos again and then we can talk more about this room.

We will also talk about our room, of course. It was quite an experience!
