Coincident was not there, unfortunately. I, too heard good things about them but never had a chance to listen to them. Maybe I should try David Lewis - as much as I don't like going there, he has some good stuff once in a while.

Yep, David Lewis is a “mystery” place but I never was successful with any dealers who do not know me personally as I have too much attitude. I was there a few years ago before he did remodeling. It looks like David knows what he is doing in Phila…

I liked the show. It was very worth visiting - I tend to prefer atmosphere at Canadian show to ones in States. It is more relaxed, much less public and you can actually talk to some manufacturers.

Yes, it is more relaxed and I genially like Canadians better than Americans. For whatever reasons they treat themselves with less seriousness then our Yankees but despite of it Canadians deliver more “yield”.  However, the Montreal show is kind of freaky show in a way as during my former visits I experienced more dealer at the show then manufactures….

I Avantgarde had their new "Duo" which in my opinion sounded quite well.

I do not think that it “sounded quite well”, most like they position it not as idiotic as the usually did the Duo’s  shortage of uppers bass was not so annoying…

LAMM brought ML3s that were very impressive, though Verity sound is not my cup of tee.

So, what was “impressive” if it was not “your cup of tea”?

Pierre Gabrielle did bring his monster speakers that I loved so much last year, but never fired them up, only playing through his old smaller systems that were not bad at all.

Were the his new monster speakers had the same hard-cone drivers with rubber suspension?
