CES 2012 – Cardas, Conrad-Johnson, Neat, Running Springs Audio


This room featured the Neat ‘Ultimatum XL10’ speakers on Conrad-Johnson amps. I have a good deal of respect for Neat loudspeakers, having heard them setup by Jay Rein, the previous distributor. This system did not show off the speakers to best effect, in my opinion, and is not worth commenting on because the sound was such that little about the speakers.would be revealed by describing it.

CES 2012 – Morel


Morel makes speaker drivers and speakers which show off their drivers.

This view is very much what one sees when coming into the room. The stuff in the foreground, in this has the Fat Lady speaker, and then a system usually up against the far window in the ‘sunken livingroom’ part of the hotel room.
