I thought the BD horns sounded noticably better than any other exhibit.
It was not without problems, but was suprisingly good.

The Festrex 5" was good in a limited range-- but get it out of that frequency range and or dynamic range and it has real problems. And that is as long as the part that the drivers are $40,000 / pair doesn't bother you... (No I didn't put in too many zeros).

ViV Laboratory was really interesting to see, he just grabbed the phase plug and pulled the cone out of the driver while it was playing, like pulling an eye out of the socket, telling me how it was held in by magnetic force. Not so interesting sound though, gritty, not to pleasant to listen to, but most people seemed to not notice that, they were "hearing what they saw."

Classic Audio Reproduction sounded totally different than last year, suprisingly better. (in spite of amps, time align...)
