Christian,
Thanks for taking the time to pull all those photos together as you didn’t attend the show. I love reading about and seeing Euro audio shows they’re always so relatively large and filled with gear we never see here in the states. Some really cool looking speakers this year and nice seeing some big horns as always.
Cheers,
Jon
Thanks for your kind feedback, Jon! I agree, there were many interesting rooms and I wish I could have been there. Surprisingly, creating this article took about as much time as walking the show in person. I spent two full days sorting, cropping, retouching, scaling and providing comments for the massive amounts of pictures that I was sent. But I am really happy with the result and I actually almost feel like I have attended the show myself!
Great photo’s thanks Christiaan, a real pleasure to look through for those of us unable to travel there. One question – do you know the brand of the rack used in the Absolare/Rockport room?
The rack in the Absolare/Rockport room is made by Stabilian and this rack is often associated with Absolare. See also this HFA YouTube video showcase.
