It is quite common to "rate" a Demo negative, you see that in nearly every discussion. When someone says "this was a good one" you have in the next 5 minutes a few who think different. When I can't rate a demo based on the used music material or the unknown hardware, what can I say?
Those WE were never made for getting the recorded sonic performance into a normal living room. They were made for amplifying signals, maybe they can produce such an image when you live in a Castle with the matching Hall...
Most of the music I heard was Hard Rock and Led Zeppelin has distortions in their recording, they wanted it and you can hear it. When I heard comments from "Audiophiles" who said, that the speakers have distortions in the upper frequencies, I went away from those..totally uninteresting to follow that blubber.....on the other side we have a female voice with a guitar or a piano (like in 30 other rooms)..also very hard to describe sonic abilities. All you can do is, to think, it that voice lifelike? And when not (mostly it was thin, boring and far away from the real thing), all you can do is: Leave. And think "BS". So much Hardware, so much money and such a poor result...
What confused me also in the WE room, Digital Playback was - way - better than analog. They used an unknown Turntable with an Arm made of wood and a Lyra Atlas...sitting on a Box. For me that was nothing special. When I read the descriptions of their hardware, what they do, what kind of expensive parts they use...then all I can say, the turntable Demo was not able to show that.
So, finally, I got no headache and that is quite a success when I visit such demos. I've been in a lot of rooms where I was happy to leave after 4 minutes...
I am not the type of guy who runs around, saying "BS" again and again. I try to find out what the System will tell me and that is ok for me when I do such visits. I am more amazed when I read rave comments about Systems in the usual Mags/Forums which were really nothing special. The only remarkable point of view was their price tags (normally $300.000.00 +)
For 300k I would like to hear something what will make me sit and listen..
