There's plenty to get through and surely something for everyone.
On the Devialet front, there was the 440 driving some Kef Blades- sorry but for me there is a thickness to the Blades bass that is slightly un-natural to my ears. Other than the Phantoms, the Blades seem to be devialet's goto choice- there are surely better combinations out there.

Of further interest was an array of 6 220's driving Kudos Titans in an active arrangement. Kudos headman Derek Gilligan designed my speakers in his previous role in partnership at Neat, so the Kudos house sound is one that I like. I am sorry to say that £60k worth of kit sounded merely OK.

Ummm, strange.....  Someone told me that Devialet and the KEF Blade was a match made in heaven. Shy  

Joking apart, I think the bass on mine (original Blades not the Blade 2 at the show) can sound a bit thick running 100% SAM with SAM2.  I'm usually at 20 to 40%.  I wonder?

One thing we can probably agree on, I did spend some time listening to the (then) 6 D200 into Kudos Titans rig at Bristol earlier this year.  Very very poor for the money I thought.  A fully active system could in theory sound superb, but it is very hard to do.  I suspect this set up is not done quite as well as it should be.  I have heard the Titans once before, when I think they sounded a lot better.
