Lamm (Big Room)

I outlined in my opening remarks the $650,000 system Lamm demoed in their big room. Here’s what Robert Harley had to say in declaring it Best Sound of Show:

“The system simply didn’t sound like hi-fi. The immediacy of the music was palpable, the expression laid bare with seemingly no electronics or speakers between me and the musicians. On a sonic basis, the soundstage was enormous when called for (Peter McGrath’s recording of Handel’s Messiah, for example) but became intimate and properly scaled on solo voice. This was one of the best systems I’ve heard at any show. It was also significantly better in every way compared to the sound in my previous room.”

He has been losing touch with reality for several years and has now finally teetered over the edge.
