Whew! It's been a long day. There were a helluva lot of people attending today.

First photo:

Best sounding speakers by far:  JBL DD 67000 [CORRECTION!] JBL 4344 speakers These are rebuilt speakers using vintage and non-vintage parts. The guy told me they try to rebuild the speakers to the same specs as the original JBL speakers. I liked the sound so much that I returned to this room 2 more times. It didn't matter if Classical or Jazz was played - the music coming from these speakers was just marvelous. They're big speakers with 18" Correction: 15" woofers.
[Edit: A kind gentleman on AC pointed out that these speakers look nothing like the DD 67000 model.

More photos with commentary to follow.

First photo is YPL speakers - a Taiwanese speaker company. Both models are 2.5-way. The larger speaker sounded pretty good in the lower and mid-frequencies, but a bit too bright for my tastes.

Photo #2: This speaker was on display only. No audio and no specs other than the price of $99,000 NTD (~$3100 USD). The reps were busy with paying customers who were buying CD, LPs, and other stuff, so I wandered off.

Photo #3: Sorry, the cute girl is not for sale! This kit includes an amp, DAC w/volume control + 2 3" fullrange speakers + a 4" 'sub'woofer. Price $12,000NTD ($375 USD) Yes, it's all very basic stuff. The speakers sound okay so long as the music isn't too demanding. It would be a cool set for a desktop system.

Photo #4: JM Reynaud speakers. These are nice sounding speakers. If I hadn't just listened to the marvelous sounding JBL 4344 speakers in the first photo, I probably would have been more impressed. Good balance from top to bottom/no complaints.

Photos #5 and #6: These JBL speakers sounded flat to me. And, yeah, it didn't help that I listened to them mere minutes after I listened to the marvelous sounding 4344 speakers. The TT was MASSIVE! I nearly made shocked noises when I got up close to this monster and fully understood how huge it is. Of course, it wasn't hooked up or powered, so all we could do was gawk and stare at it. I didn't bother to ask how much it costs.

More photos and commentary on the way, but I promised my wife I'd play Mahjong with her and the in-laws tonight.

TopRound‎:
Air Force zero, nice I heard that at a friends house, its like 700 pounds with the rack.

CAn you post videos of the show on this site or is this not allowed?

I know it recorded from a phone played on a laptop but it works.

If I were to have guessed, I would have guessed that the speakers in your first photo (#7508) were JBL Everest. Looks like a nice show. Enjoy!
