matthewpiano:cacophonix, did you not go into the UKD room with those stupendous Opera floorstanders powered up by that wonderful Unison Research amplifier?
That was the best hi-fi I've ever heard and I just can't imagine anything else getting closer to real live music.
What appealed about the Wharfedales in particular? I was bitterly disappointed with them.
Yes, I spoke to the UKD guy, but I'm a bit sickened that opera would have gone in for this. The philosophical stand point of "getting close" is nowhere near what you need to be in the business of sound REPRODUCTION. I think that with wharfdale, they're a big name and have a much wider range than most... so they could afford to get all the parts of the system right on the day. They also seemed very open with their designs (not as proud as others).
matthewpiano: I just noticed you work with sony, and for me they usually get a lot right. Probably for similar reasons to wharfedale - they're a broad ranging company. Unfortunately all I saw was one of their TVs sitting silently on a stand. I was focusing on hifi
