It was with much expectation that I walked into the Raidho as they always played great european music with amazing fidelity. But with the lead demo guy gone, the dream was shattered. Just one classical track playing.

Sounded good but boring.

Audio Physic:
Andaluza by Alexander Moszkowski & Vienna Symphony Orchestra. https://shz.am/t42807208
Come on now. Don't play the whole darn LP for heaven's sake. It sounded just OK to me.

Prism sound. Nothing new but had good conversation with them about the DAC market. See my previous show reports:

Not sure why I did not capture any tracks or impressions for this room with Vienna Acoustics speakers and Chord electronics:

Elac speakers in Dolby Atmos multi-channel demo:
My friend Chris played the standard Dolby Atmos demo tracks. It had mind bending ambiance compared to junk soundstage we get with stereo. I don't know how we can talk about realism with stereo after hearing this low cost system do its thing in both horizontal and vertical dimension. On that front, they had up firing speakers which did not do a great job of giving the impression of height. Reall ceiling speakers would do much better.

Wavelength Audio. Vaughn speakers. Folks were sitting in the corner having a good old time conversing. So I took pictures and after hearing one track, left:
Hotel California by Eagles. https://shz.am/t215540
Excellent bass. Warm and enjoyable.

As you see above, they had Anthem Room Correction (ARC) running. It has advanced much beyond what I played with years ago.
Tin Pan Alley (aka Roughest Place In Town) by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. https://shz.am/t5109006
Excellent detail and dynamics. Did an AB test of room eq on and off and it was much better with it on.

Hmmm. I don't know what happened to my pictures of Elac and Audio Alchemy rooms (sister companies now). They were showing production Adante speakers. Here are the music they played though:
Down In The Hole by John Campbell. https://shz.am/t46925298
Classic demo track.
Excellent. Tremendous ambiance. Ease of reproduction.
Le Vent Nous Portera by Sophie Hunger. https://shz.am/t51869130
Nice music.

Likewise, can't find my pictures of Byston room either.
Jazz Crimes by Joshua Redman. https://shz.am/t11161768
Sounded a bit tubby. It is a 3-way active speaker by the way.

The evening was nicely finished by a wonderful piano performance by Robert Silverman telling us history, story and music of Chopin. What a great man and storyteller (both vocally and through piano).
The Steinway piano sounded nicer than ton of recorded Piano I have heard. Its reverberation and at times dynamic sound was clear example of why stereo doesn't replicate live.
Here are some pictures I took:
