I was disappointed in the Magico room not because of the S5 Mkll which I really wanted to hear but rather because it was in a huge ball room where the focus was not on the speaker but rather tweaks from Synergistic Research which showed how to tame a room with the addition of a black box for bass and wall mounts all over the room and ceiling and then another tweak along the center front wall that were used to show the crowd how these things could change the sound. The speaker sounded great but we were interrupted by snippets of sound with and without the tweaks
A huge disappointment
that's why I skipped out on the Magico ballroom this year. they were the only Magicos at the show, which is a damn shame. I really wanted to hear the S5mk2s.
on the bottom floor, I heard the Revel Salons in a smaller ballroom and it was still impossible to really judge a thing.
