CES 2011 day 2 flyby #1

OK. Did all of the 29th floor and 35th floors. Not too many interesting things… but a few. In no particular order –

Lamm ML3 amplifiers on Wilson Alexandria X-2 speakers

Lamm ML3 on Alexandrias… Wilson positioned the speakers a little farther apart than I would have put them, and we can nitpick here and there [hey, that is our business here on the blog] but this is a landmark system to appear at a show – both in terms of sound and historically. [details later on all this stuff].

The Sonus Faber new statement speakers do not have the aesthetic nor, seemingly if this room is any judge, the sound of the other models.

Rear of the Sonus Faber speakers.

Sorry… sleep time. More tomorrow morning.

Dan D’Agostino (ex-Krell founder and chief engineer)’s new company’s amps.

On the Wilson Sasha did not sound like old Krell – good – but did not seem able to control the speakers as well as one might like.
