This room was truly amazing. The world debut from several major companies. Talon showed the new Thunderhawk. A speaker capable of being upgraded from the Hawk monitor by adding the Thunder bass module. It can be either passively crossed over or as shown above actively crossed over and biamped with the Rives Sub-PARC. VAC showed their new 300.1 phi series amplifier, capable of 300 watts mono or 150 watts stereo. This is a very special amp demonstrating bass control usually reserved only for solid state amplifiers. Wadia had their series 9 system and 270 SE transport. Incredible source equipment drawing one into the inner details of every passage. Shunyata provided all cables and power conditioning. The Hydra V-Ray was debuted at the show. And the racks were provided by Stillpoints.
