Honestly, you guys are so damn cheap. Now, if it were over $100K that would be something. But it is not.
Cables are maintenance free though....You bought some wires. Here's what you could have bought:
I will inform the staff , they won't be happy about the extra work load.

Above was a large room and I was really interested in hearing the speakers but they were just talking and playing something uninteresting so I walked out. I think I went back on third day...

Some of you may know from my coverage of AXPONA 2017 that I was not a fan of the sound/experience that I heard at the VSA room. The issues I identified there were room and placement issues both of which was resolved here. The room here was massive and set up lengthwise. There were two subs in the back and they said they were wired out of phase for room mode cancellation.
Speakers were pulled way into the room but the room was big enough that the seats were far enough that you didn't get the feeling the speakers were going to fall on you!
The sound was relaxed, very dynamic when needed and put a towering image. The images were 2 to 3 times life size though so what you get is not ordinary imaging. Some complained that imaging was diffused. I think this was a factor in addition to the fact that a large room ultimately have has higher reverberation time.
In that regard, these speakers are ideal for orchestral or other large presentation type of music. If I were a fan of classical music or opera, these would be ideal candidates. For close in, jazz and blues music, you would either like them or not depending on whether you want an intimate or bigger than life presentation.
There were no other statement products at the show. Everyone else had brought speakers half the size/height of these. So these speakers stood out in my mind as the best of the show.
I went there twice. The first day I hid in the second row due to worries of getting thrown out of the room because of my Axpona coverage. I went there on the third day and said the heck with it and introduced myself. Got an angry look still but I guess they didn't feel like throwing me out.

What Goes Up. by The Alan Parsons Symphonic Project. https://shz.am/t319905880
Can only find a live sample:
Lp. Lots of talking behind me. Nice relaxed sound. Typical lp flaws though with strain.
