I heard this system evolve over the days at the show. Always sounded good to me; however they did put a lot of work into optimizing the in-room bass response. So much so that on the final day, when these photos were taken, I heard somebody playing really loud music; even though all the doors to the exhibition rooms were closed.
Who could this be, I wondered, walking down the hallway past room after room, making all this racket? ….. though I had a suspicion… 
Yep.
I walked up right in the middle of the room to take photos of the tape player, and it was really loud but really clear and controlled. This is kind of a spooky [aka awesome] effect – like your body is physically floating on the sound like it was in a wading pool, being gently pushed around by the swells and tides of the melody.
There are not that many good sounding speakers out there folks. This is one of them. And the speakers are woefully under-priced. In your experience, just how long do ridiculously low prices last before someone gets the idea that maybe they should perhaps price things comparable to what the competition charges? Consider yourself forewarned.
They were not stingy with playing the tape player here [nor was the Evolution Acoustics room. Let’s hear it for tape!]. Made the decent vinyl setup sound etched and, yes, digital.
