We don't remember covering a show in a venue
with a greater variety of room sizes than at the Marriott Denver Tech Center, home of the
Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. There are gigantic rooms, like this one for Ray Kimber's
ambitious demo...;
...extra large, as used for a system of
Classic Audio Reproductions, Atma-Sphere, Tri-Planar and Purist Audio Designs products...;
...large, used for the A Audio Imports system
featuring Acapella Triolon Excalibur speakers ($192,000 per pair)...;
...medium, housing Analysis Audio speakers
and VTL electronics...;
...and regular, with more Classic Audio
Reproductions speakers and Atma-Sphere electronics with a Galibier turntable. We'll post
some pictures of the small rooms in the next Faces &
Places series.
Ron Hedrich of Marigo Audio Labs shows off his
newest creation, the VX Mystery footer ($699 per set of three). This close-up should help
solve some of the mystery of this equipment accessory.
Marc Mickelson (front and center) listens to
one of his demo CD-Rs and likes what he hears from a
pair of Dynaudio Sapphire speakers ($16,500 per pair), Pass Labs amps, and Wadia Digital
gear.
Yoav Geva, the YG in YG Acoustics, let us know
where to find his rooms at the RMAF.
This one, featuring the Anat Reference
Professional speakers ($107,000 per pair) driven by an FM Acoustics amplifier, sounded
highly detailed. [www.ygacoustics.com]
