The ten exhibits that impressed our coverage team the most.

  • Rockport Technologies, Ypsilon Electronics and Blue Smoke Entertainment Systems - "The sound was just so right that we could have stayed and listened all day."

  • Hitachi Gesture Remote Control TV - "The Gesture Remote TV prototype on demo was the coolest thing we saw at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and it offered very polished performance."

  • Focus Audio - "All in all, we were impressed with this standout for performance and value."

  • Anthony Gallo Acoustics - "The 3.5 is a revision of the current Reference 3.1 and embodies significant changes, such as a new woofer and a revised geometry on the metal domes that house the speaker’s two midrange drivers -- in essence, a reshaping of their cabinets."

  • Artemis Labs - "Analog was king in the Artemis Labs room at THE Show, with the company showcasing its well-known PH-2 phono stage and a second turntable, and debuting its own 12" tonearm (in prototype form)."

  • EgglestonWorks - "Previous Andra speakers always produced a huge sound that belied the speakers’ size, but we've never heard an Andra sound this right throughout the frequency range."

  • Aura - "This Aura Note-based system is proof that you can high-quality sound and convenience and not break the bank to get them."

  • TAD - "The soundstage was wall-to-wall, and the sound never anything less than pristinely clean."

  • Magico - "The new speakers, slotted between the massive M6 and more compact V3, were lightning quick and spooky in their transparency."

  • Koetsu USA, Chario, Montegiro, Goldenote, Blacknote - "More than a couple of times, performers appeared to be a few feet to the right or the left of the speakers, and that made for thrilling listening."
