Excellent coverage! That Gershman/ Eon Art room was to me, the best sounding room of the show. It sounded unbelievable. It better be considering the price. However, Thomas' Galion with the Lii Audio speakers were the biggest surprise for me. Superb sounding system. Also, the new Monitor Audio Platinum 200's were fantastic.
I asked how the new TOTL Dali KORE compared to the Dali Megaline and he had never heard the Megaline?? A deep understanding a Dali?? Isabeau played with Vincent Belanger in the Gershman room. It was the highlight of the show for me. Bravo. The FR30 from PS Audio sounded good considering an almost square and small room was lot's of hallway noise. Nice job on the interviews.
You did a great job obviously a novice to the high-end world of our hobby you ask the right questions do you have the proper Mike the hand to the exhibitor did a great job man keep it up
Great video! One small note, did you notice that when you were filming the up close shots of the harp strings being plucked that you because of the frame rate of the video you can actually see the sound wave form the bass strings are producing? Super mesmerizing, a great little video artifact that happend naturally
To say that the new PS audio speaker where in a room too small is an understatement….that was a closet. Really liked the big coherent speakers sound. Honestly though, I’m not sure what to think of the whole show. Lots of expensive stuff. The couple speakers that I heard that where “affordable” where backed up by a amps/source that where many times more expensive than the speakers. It was also my first show, and I think I had higher expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll go next year because it was still fun.…. But you definitely have to take the whole experience with a grain of salt.
Hey Mike! I didn't really know what to expect TBH. It was so awesome and overwhelming at the same time. For me it was like I just learned about gambling and then spent 30 minutes in LasVegas. 🤣. Renè put it best, you get sort of an idea of how the speakers sound and if you like what you hear, go and demo properly with a dealer. He was awesome.. I guess from the exhibitor's point of view, bring your best gear so people see what they're capable of and what trickles down into their more affordable stuff. Would love to have that crazy disposable income, but here I am typing this while listening to what I have. And it sounds sooooooo good.. Oh man, do I love this hobby 😍. 🍻
I believe this was the "Corby's Audio room". This was a review I didn't end up getting due to time constraints, but the speakers were his "Model 18" with a large 18" driver and a mounted compression horn. Hand made in Montreal! They were beautiful and the room actually sounded really nice too.
Oh man!! Best room is the one I'm in now and I want to fill it with so much that I checked out. So very very badly 🤣. Bit of a cop-out sure, but I really appreciate my own space and how good it sounds. Thanks for watching! 🍻
@@MisterChibs we would trust your ears. I hope must understand that we would never be able to determine the difference listening through TH-cam. You could have relayed the sound quality of speakers in relation to the harp..
@@jamesturner9858 Yes, a fun and ambitious idea for a video James. Real life vs speakers. Pros and cons of both. Would definitely need to be done in a quiet place though.
@MisterChibs Hi, Im from Toronto as well. I'm waiting on delivery on a 300B source output stage. Would you be interested in reviewing it ? It's made by Bill Baker from Response Audio. The Harmonia V3 output stage. If you're interested, let me know.
Your interview with Thomas was interesting. With respect, you were out of your depth, but I must say you handled it well, and Thomas handled it well. Respect for both of you.
@@MisterChibs lol. Mighty Car Mods always strum their intercoolers before installing them. They insert a harp sound as they do this. It’s an on going joke of theirs.
Not a bad idea but they have to be songs I pay for. I had to edit out music in the interviews to avoid copyright issues. The Dali interview was the toughest in that regard 😅🍻
@@MisterChibs - I was pretty intent on doing very much the same with interviews.. but I could not figure out a good mic set-up. All the media I got were photos.. but did manage all 3 days. Next time - I'd love to help out. I assume we are local =)
@@MisterChibs ... First day is good for that. Listen and plan.. ask the reps for a interview time.. plan out for day 2... make a plot through the floors. It'll never be to plan.. but it helps. :-)
More of the same as last year which was the same as the year before which was the same as the year before that which was the same......... The names may have changed, the appearance may have changed, the one thing you can count on is that the prices went up, but the technology remains pretty much the same from year to year. Funny the guy with the speakers from Europe saying European speakers were brighter than American speakers. Sixty years ago it was the other way around. The one interesting thing I saw was the harp player. Given the refresh rate of my monitor I could see the strings wiggle around like strands of wet spaghetti. This was what I had to calculate when learning about Bessel functions many decades ago as an engineering student. Strings and percussive instruments break up into harmonic modes this way. It doesn't matter which side of the harp you are on, both sides will sound the same. Therefore the audiophile myth of absolute phase is debunked for these types of instruments. For singers and instruments where air is blown through a pipe such as a pipe organ, brass instruments, and wind instruments the first wave is always a compression wave because air is always blown, never sucked. It is said some people can hear the difference according to some independent sources. Personally I can't. Of all of the problems with audio technology as it exists and has existed, if it's a problem at all it's among the least significant of the problems.
Thanks for sharing, Mark! I can see how this stuff could seem repetitive if you’ve been doing it for years. I feel the say about Camera equipment 😂 This was my first audio show, so all new to me and really fun. Lots to learn! I agree about the harpist part. She was great and that spaghetti part you mentioned tripped me right out. Reminds me of a vertical waveform. Cheers🍻
@Mr Chibs A young woman is advised to learn to play the harp so that she can find a handsome strong helpful young man to help her by carrying around for her. When she gets married she can quit and put it away for her daughter.
Yep! Had I used their music TH-cam would have cut audio to the whole video and give me a copyright strike. TBH Hearing $250000 dollar speaker systems through a $200 lav mic won’t give you much if any idea of how they sound. Thanks for watching 🍻
One of the better audio show coverage. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😀🍻

Mr Chibs, thank you for taking us there with you!!
Thank you for watching! 😀🍻
Got to admire a beautiful lady that can make beautiful music and doesn’t think twice of carrying a harp around with her 💪🏼
Isa was awesome!! Thanks for watching Aussie! 🍻
Incredible production
Thank you Sean! 🍻
Excellent video! The harp was a treat :)
Total treat! If you look closely at her strings, they look like a vertical waveform and can trip you out! Thanks for watching! 🍻
@@MisterChibs Many thanks for bringing this to us 🙂
@@sietchtabr5120 My Pleasure!! 🍻
@@MisterChibs I did see that, and thanks for the telegram hahaha
@@christophergaus3996 hopefully you didn’t click on that. That wasn’t me..
You can mix both microphones on both channels in post so they're not only on the left or on the right.
Right!! Thanks for the tip. Learning with each video as I go! This one should be easy to figure out too. 🍻

Thank you Austin! That's what this is all about. I'm learning so much and it's fuelling the making of these vids. 🔥👆🏻. 🍻
For those curious, the cables are Supra.
I’ve got Supra cables here too. Nicely made. 🍻

Eon art is really special looking amp!
Definitely! Thanks for watching. 🍻
Great video! Thanks for doing it! 🇺🇦🇺🇸👊
Thanks Leo! 👍🏻🍻
Where is the Rubicon series from Dali? 🤔
We didn't discuss Rubicon. Jason did an awesome job with my introduction to Dali though. A real pro and great at what he does! 🍻
What were those speakers at the very end of the video? Looked Tannoy-like.
I believe this was the "Corby's Audio room". This was a review I didn't end up getting due to time constraints, but the speakers were his "Model 18" with a large 18" driver and a mounted compression horn. Hand made in Montreal! They were beautiful and the room actually sounded really nice too.
What 3 rooms did you like the best sound wise? Cost no object and best 3 bang for the buck rooms?
Oh man!! Best room is the one I'm in now and I want to fill it with so much that I checked out. So very very badly 🤣. Bit of a cop-out sure, but I really appreciate my own space and how good it sounds. Thanks for watching! 🍻
That would have been a great opportunity to hear the speakers in comparison to the harp. To hear the difference
Would make an interesting video but I doubt it could sound the exact same.
@@MisterChibs we would trust your ears. I hope must understand that we would never be able to determine the difference listening through TH-cam. You could have relayed the sound quality of speakers in relation to the harp..

Thanks W, had never listened to a tube amp before and was happy to learn. I learnt a ton that day!
@@MisterChibs something you want to consider trying since your klipsch speakers are incredibly efficient
@@dajikbatarang1 Yes! Curious how that TS120 would sound in my setup.
@@MisterChibs I just watched this again and enjoyed all your interviews.
9:48 that’s a weird looking intercooler.
🤷🏼♂️ I don’t understand.

Thanks Neil! Which day were you there?
@@MisterChibs I was there on Saturday from open til 3PM

Dang the harpist was excellent.
Would be nice to hear some demos - on a seperate video perhaps.

@@psyphonyxaudio Thanks for the offer! Next time I want to spend a full day just listening to as much stuff as possible.
@@MisterChibs ... First day is good for that. Listen and plan.. ask the reps for a interview time.. plan out for day 2... make a plot through the floors.

Those expensive Dali speakers sounded like crap at the show. They should have perhaps chosen better electronics to drive them.
I think they should send them to me so I may drive them all day long 😉

Thanks for the suggestion. 🍻
40 mins of talking and no music from any of the systems at an Audio Show. Pointless.
