Well done Chris. I “borrowed” this from a post on Audio Shark.
“Sound Lab on first floor: I have always loved Sound Lab speakers at shows and this was no exception. Also the demo had the happiest speaker and setup wrangler ever, he was enjoying himself instead of looking like he could direct porcupine quills at anybody questioning his precious. He was funny and having fun, I guess like audiophiles should be doing.
I was nearly tilted over the edge when he played the vinyl of the Ormandy/PSO Beethoven Ninth chorale segment. It really sent me, but it usually does in just about any context. With the imaging, you could really envisage the chorale groups stacked to the rafters.
One odd observation was the narrowness of the sweet spot. One had to be very close to center to get the whole panorama rather than right or left weighted. However, it looked like a near field setup too close to the towers rather than a more appropriate distance, and the towers were toed in quite a bit.
I spent basically all of my time at these two and the Clarysis room.”
