Audiopathways rooms had great products (as always) but I must say that the people taking care of those rooms were chatting all over the place in the doorways and the hall stopping the circulation flow and making it hard to get into the rooms (that weren't even full). In the 4 hours I was at the show I went back 3 times to try and listen to the AvantGarde Zero but the guys working that room were chatting so loud EVERY TIME that it was impossible to listen and get a sense of the all-in-one Zero personality. Music is often way too loud in rooms but It sure wasn't the case in the AvantGarde room each time I was there... I should have say something but I was so annoyed the third time that I would have come off as an ass myself so I STFU instead... Rant over!
I went with a friend, a first timer at an audio show, and he kept asking me "Do audiophiles listen to real music sometimes?" I laugh forgetting that japanese percussions and world beat acoustic guitar solos is not common outside of audio shows... He was almost happy to hear Diana Krall...
