Hi Everybody,

Well the show report is as done as it is going to get. 700 photos of 149 rooms. with commentary about how many of the rooms sounded.

Thanks cjfrbw and owl1!

As for CES, it is still bigger than RMAF [but for how long, one can wonder :-)] and it is still the best show to see cost-no-object systems and components for people looking to hear the state-of-the-art.

That may change too, but for now, RMAF has made itself the "people's" show and CES the dealer/distributor/manufacturer/audiophiles-who-must-see-the-latest show.

The mainstream press [CNBC, engadget, etc.] currently only covers CES, though mostly static displays [Krell, Madrigal, Sonus Faber, etc] at the main convention center - not often venturing to the relative boonies where CES puts live high-end audio.

I guess I am arguing all this because I would hate to see just one annual show. I think it is good that we have 3 shows: CES, RMAF and Montreal in North America [the other little shows scattered about get much less than 1/10 the number of attendees per room].

Anyway, that's the way I am seeing things...
