Having been to the show yesterday - I liked a few things - with some nice valve kit surprising me....
At the Absolute Sounds room - the new Prima Luna stuff with Sonus Faber Liuto towers - seemed to punch above it's price for me, very nice.
Ikon Audio had Jadis DA88S amp, with Jadis CD and Audioplan speakers - I could have sat there for ages - it's hard to tell if I would have liked it so much at home, or with my own music (should have taken some) but it had a very listenable quality that made me want to sit there longer and longer .....
The Arcam room playing a surround system with music - what FUN ....
Audio Research with Martin Logan in Absolute Sounds (another room) - dynamic and unboxy of course, but perhaps not the warmth I want to hear - but I want to hear this again in a dem/home setting - it was impressive in so many ways.
One little room had audio analogue CD and amp with Amphion speakers - and I think the CD/amp were £600 each - this sounded FAR better than it should at that price and worked really well in that room .....
Those were my highlights .......... anyone else!?!?!?
