I never understood the affinity that the Germans have for heavy metal. Whenever you going into any of their rooms at CES (especially MBL), Slayer is playing at 130 DB. Maybe it's the modern interpretation of Wagner.

Jeff, you are absolutely correct, especially about MBL. BTW, the record in this was set by Magico. A few years back the idiots who run Magico first time show up CES. He did not have speakers built yet, only small shitty monitor, and was showing off computer-generated images. He was asking me absolutely idiotic questions like “what is time alignment” and alike, it looked as he was very accidental person. At that time I did not know that what he was and what kind shit he was. So, I was polite and wished him good luck. In a few hours I was walking near the room and was witnessing literally 120 DB of heavy metal crap coming from Magico room. What was particularly interesting is not the absurd selection of music but the way how Magico monitor was paling it and how the retards in the room were reacting to it. The first Magico monitor was incredibly horrible speaker that in my view encompassed the worse that exist in contemporary hi-fi. In addition to anything is that monitor play louder then 80dB it dive into very severs distortions across the whole bandwidth. In that CES room the v Magico monitor was playing at insane volume level and it had huge own distortions caused compressions. You know at some bad low sensitivity speakers you reach 95dB level and then you add 3dB of gain at preamp but volume does not goes up? The retards at Magico were playing at least at least 20dB more gain then this monitor can handle. So, that heavy metal hat they played was so distorted and the people were so exuberant about the sound they heard he it was my first sign that that something was very wrong with his company. Interesting that I did go into the Magico room, even during that horrible noise coming from them. What I was curious to see if it was the room visitor who plays own music of it was the room host. Yes, it was what it was – the Magico’s owner was showing off his personal demo. Did I tell that it was the last time I spoke with him?
