I'm doing a terrible job at keeping everyone posted on the show, I know - I think the best thing would be if you all just came up to see for yourself.  Barring that . . . there sure are a lot of amazing setups here. Some are pretty wild just from room layout, and some are pretty wild from a product perspective. One that really caught my attention today was the Devialet Integrated Amplifier. ( http://www.devialet.com). The thing in the second shot is a poor picture of their very cool remote.  I heard about it from Doug Schneider, and he made it sound like the future of audio had arrived . . . "Here's what makes the Devialet D-Premier so special: it uses a new kind of amplifier design that marries pure-class-A amplification with a class-D amplifier. The class-A portion is used for voltage, and the class-D section is used for current." - Doug Schneider, SoundStage CES article They've got a really interesting display, with all the pieces of the product opened up and set out for inspection. If you're stopping by the show, make it a point to check it out! They're across the lounge from our room. Don't worry - you definitely won't get lost trying to find us!   Lots going on on the Bryston side of our demo room and tomorrow I'll update you on Andrew's new favourite toy . . . Until then!

Okay, I HAVE A WINNER!
and it's me! Awww, lucky me!
. . . okay, and Andrew . . .
We're going with LFR1100 (1100 for 11 drivers, and a suitably large number for a large speaker and a lotta technology . . .)
So it is officially named and we'll get the site updated accordingly.
In other fun news, 6 of you who entered a variation on the LFR name will also win! $100 gift certificates coming your way from Ian! Congratulations avjunkee, Adrian, Socketman,INANE, ClubNeon, and a401classic - you're all winners!
I just think that you went with that because CatBrat used up about every other word in the dictionary...

What? Whoa! Thanks, now I need to figure out what to get. I'm thinking another pair of QS8s, so I have Axiom on all 7 channels.

Aw amn look what happens when you get busy and don't drop in for awhile, missed a chance at naming another speaker Can't wait till I can get a chance to hear these. they really are awesome! Impressive sound. It's great to be able to ear systems that cost a lot more and be able to compare them to something that you can actually buy. The cheapest system I've seen at the salon was a pair of cabasse CineOle which is priced at 1800$.. After that it climbed to 6000 for the cheapest of the cheapest.. Most speakers were priced around 10000$ (one Focal pair was priced at 96000$). They are normally using interconnects that cost most than the LFR1100. So far so good. It sounded better than a few 15000$ pairs
