Great show again. My star of the show was the Estelon Extreme powered by the new Vitus power amp.
Far too big for most rooms but they looked and sounded incredible. Two attached units with controllable height for the attached mid range and tweeter module and adjustable tweeter.
Hopefully somebody has some photos to post soon.

I believe Leo has some coverage for the Estelon/Vitus tandem.
The Estelon is a visually attractive speaker, particularly in that color combination, imo.
The Vitus amp is enormous :eek:

A lot of the pictures appear as though most manufacturers used a layout like AES, convention style. You would never see the brand representation here in the U.S. like at the Munich show. Why is that?

One name I haven't seen... Raidho

I saw Raidho in the pics towards the end or do you mean US shows ? What's more interesting to me is how many brands I have never heard of. They look pretty hi-end and expensive. Is there really a big enough market to buy all this stuff ?

Oh... now I see it on page 11

There are a LOT of brands no one has heard of. I've always thought that the EU has a leg up on everyone with innovation.

I saw a few sets of Wilson Alexia's, but they weren't mentioned in the table of contents.

That's an interesting question, Christian. OTOH, one has to remember that a lot of these companies are doing this stuff as a side line to their main business. Many are suppliers to the furniture trade, as an example.

Many? Can you provide a list of the "many" companies whose fundamental business is making furniture?

I think you can do the research yourself:p....Mr. Doubting Thomas, LOL.

Davey-I honestly can't think of any. You are the one that made the statement like it's common knowledge. Now you want me to do the research to back up your statement? Really? We already have enough of those people on WBF that make claims, won't provide any proof, and ask others to do the research and help them validate their claims. I'm not biting.
