Day 3 – CES 2016

Much smaller show this year. It used to take me all 4 days to photograph the rooms here [including those at the old THE SHOW Las Vegas].

Now about 4 to 5 hours.

Someone said that the number of international distributors they see is less than 1/10th that they used to see 5 years ago here.

Exhibitors are much more aggressive when they try to see me, a fellow exhibitor.

On the positive side, there are LOTS of new audiophiles and potential audiophiles coming up from the main CES conference [the two giant floors of the Sands conference halls downstairs are PACKED with people].

Though not new these Neolith speakers are far, far better than any of Martin Logan’s other speakers.

The large number of configurations are controlled by jumpers.

Day 2 – CES 2016

Having a fight with my camera [and I am losing. about 50% of the photos are coming out underexposed] but got everything but the few rooms on floor 34 done so far.

Here are some tidbits…

Lamm, Kharma, EMT room – CES 2016

A few photos from the Lamm, Kharma, EMT room. Took photos of floors 30 and 35 yesterday before my camera batteries died. Hope to finish today…

This is one of the more spectacular rooms this show so far…

More descriptions later. Neli is telling me to ‘get a move on’ … so we get to the show before it closes 🙂
