Absolutely no sign of Devialet anywhere which seems really odd given that so many other brands are here.
Spent a few hours yesterday visiting some of the rooms and listening to gear. It's always difficult to evaluate hi-fi under show conditions since in so many cases the room acoustics are compromised, not to mention background noise coming from other rooms. It can also be difficult to get a decent sitting position so a little perseverance is required.
So far the room which has impressed me the most is the Soulution one. Here's a pic of the setup:
This is a first for me since this is the first time I have heard Soulution sounding quite so good. And I mean REALLY good. Mind blowingly good. Let's not forget to mention the new Rockport Cygnus speakers too, hardly top of the range Rockports but boy do they image well!
A lot of effort went into room treatment, as you can hopefully see in the pics.
