Roy Gregory, that is, editor of HiFi+ magazine from the UK, who had chosen and set-up the system I was using for my high-resolution demonstrations. And my thanks also to Roy's wife Louise, who was signing up attendees for my dems at the Show's front desk.

I photographed Roy with one of the Avalon Evolution NP2 speakers we were using, me for my digital dems and Roy for his analog set-up dems. At $1995/pair, the two-way Avalons were the least-expensive ingredient in the system, yet coped admirably with the wide dynamic range of my 24-bit, 88.2kHz master files.
