Still, there is an interesting phenomenon that I never was able to understand. I observe Lamm’s show rooms from I think 1998-1999 to 2006 when I did my last audio show. Surprisingly all Lamm rooms at audio shows sound the same, even regardless of what kind acoustic systems they use. It was somewhere along the lines you described - everything is very accurate and good but tedious and disjointed. Ironically tediousness and disconnectivity were never was problem with Lamm electronics in my home or in other homes where I heard Lamms. I do not know where it comes from… Perhaps it comes from the fact that wherever Lamm does his shows to please no other demands then the barbaric and primitive demands of idiots like Fremers and Valins? Hard to say but if it talks like a duck and walk like a duck then it most likely not a porcupine….

Somebody Erick Lichte at his Stereophile blog posted a comment about Lamm/Wilson room at CES 2010

Erick’s comments, Saturntube’s comments, Jason Serinus comments, the comments in response to the Erick’s blogs and many of my personal observations about sound Lamm’s show rooms are very in the same boat – Lamm’s room sound very hi-fi-ish on the shows. Still, I believe that this hi-fiishness: excessive brightness, compression, metallic electronic harsh edge around tones and many other unpleasant properties I heard from Lamm’s rooms at the show are not the properties of Lamm electronics and not the properties of Wilsons. From where I stay now I feel that all of it a result or Lamm neglect of electricity. Lamm’s PS, at least what I had are very susceptive to electricity problems and from what I remember and what I see Lamm does not use the PP2000, which is in my view monumentally stupid.

I kind of like the low-key of the PurePower marketing. They looks do not give their units to reviewers and do not advertise.  If I run the PurePower Company then knowing what PP2000 is able to do with sound I would do the following trick: I would get 50-100 PP2000 units, load them into track and drive to CES. Then a day before the show I would lend for free PP2000 to any vendor. Electricity in Vegas is famously bad and any vendor person with ears after a few notes of the PP2000 listening would love to power own room during the show. All that all that needed to be done is to walk over rooms with video camera, correlating the sound in the room with the fact of the PP2000 presents. The best would be to go on Saturday night and recall all PP2000 units (how about a remote-control activated bypass!!!)  Then to demonstrate how much Sound of the show goes to drain without the use of the PP2000.

Or course to pull stunt like this would make many manufacturers angry but fuck them, they hate each other anyhow and suck each other blog as they could. What is also would do is educate, really educate public awareness what is going on.
