Very few rooms stood out for me at the show. Admittedly I deliberately ignored the uber-expensive rooms. In the past I was rarely impressed by their performance even when I ignored placing any judgement on value for the money. I have always been impressed more by manufacturers who can make me smile and do it at an affordable price. Steven Norber of PranaFidelity has consistently made me smile. I can\u2019t say this was the best sound at the show because I missed so much. I can say this was my favorite room. The PranaFidelity Vayu\/fs 2-way quasi-line array speakers ($6,950), shown here in mahogany, can be tuned to the room or music via an adjustable port and rear switches. I was able to listen to many of my test tracks and was always impressed. In a show filled with speakers that were boxes with music trapped inside, the Vayu\/fs speakers set themselves apart by disappearing.<\/p>\n
The Vayu f\/s has a frequency response of 29 Hz – 22 kHz with a sensitivity of 89.5 dB and a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms. They are 47.5\u201dH X 10\u201dW and 19\u201dD with a weight of 94 pounds. The preamplifier used was the PranaFidelityPurna ($4500 – $9950 depending on options) with the companion Purna amplifier ($8950). Analog was supplied by a Basis Audio 2200 Signature turntable and an Ampex ATR-102 tape deck. The digital source was a Luxman D-06u. Cabling was from KubalaSosna.<\/p>\n
