RLS showed with Naim electronics but I sadly failed to inquire whose speakers we were listening to. If you think that Adam's excellent show guide would have helped, think again. Polish looks like a rather forboding tongue to foreigners. A valve integrated amplifier, for example, goes by lampowy wzmacniacz zintegrowany. See what I mean? While I could lift RLS' website URL from the guide, making sense of the accompanying text proved beyond me.
UK stalwart Roksan was in Warsaw and their illustrious product folder included components I'd never seen, especially their upscale Touraj Moghaddam Signature turntable. Vinyl mavens not already hip to it should investigate further.
Fronted by vintage Hales speakers, Sound Art showed their own massive electronics about which, due to the language barrier, I managed to learn very little. Visit their website to dig deeper.
Thiel was part of a huge static display shared with Wilson Benesch, VPI, Mcintosh and Electrocompaniet.
Totem partnered with Classe and drew large crowds that made entering the room challenging. In that, they were hardly alone. This was a very well-attended do all around.
Unison Research and Opera Loudspeakers had the Italian style thing down pat.
If there is one speaker brand the West should be scared of, it's Usher. Their new Beryllium Series is said to be scarily good and none other than Lloyd Walker bought himself a pair to replace his Kharmas. The Sobieski hotel showed smaller and less ambitious models in keeping with the room size. Prima Luna furnished electronics, Shunyata cables.
			Vincent had a far deeper line than expected. If you're judged by the company you keep, showing with Avalon was a savvy move. Plenty of small signal valves behind circular display glass could be spotted in this room.
VPI's importer too had brought every model in the line and its top dog epitomized the big-is-beautiful maxim by hoarding an entire table for itself, prominently placed in the very middle of a room that was encircled by Electrocompaniet, McIntosh, Thiel and Wilson Benesch.
