I thought second best sounding room. The 7 can play it all. They sound very very good. P.S. Magico wasn't the best room.
Hands down, the best sound of the show. The Vandersteen 7s impress me more each time I hear them, and for $45K/pair, a nearly inconceivable price for speakers anywhere but this show, they certainly should.It could almost be argued that compared to many other high end speakers, the Vandersteen 7s could almost be argued to be a DEAL.
I visited this room each of the three days of the show. It was usually crowded so I did not stay too long on any visit. On the first day I thought this was one of the better sounding room I heard. Each subsequent visit left me feeling that something was missing. Either other systems raised the bar or I just preferred something more dynamic. Never did it sound bad though.
It was ok but not great by any means , it had a large soundstage but poor resolution. And the woofer was distorting on my K2 sampler of track 1. Plus the damn cabinet behavior of the bass enclosure was almost plusing during any bass power.
