Howdy. Based on your initial comments about the AMP-13R Bakoon integrated, I made the point of taking a listen at RMAF. I was doubly happy to see the Soundkaos speakers, not ever hearing/seeing them other than in your reviews. The report card was easy….the room sounded great and looked great. The only issue was the music. They chose to play, over and over and over again during the show, the same Stevie Ray Vaughan song, that same slow Blues that has been played to death in far too many shows. What a turn-off. Play something else on the damn album! Oh well. I didn't say a word to Soo-In about this as I had many rooms to see and many meetings over the weekend. It was dash in, dashout. Exhibitors should already be clued in as to what music to play and what to avoid. It's a gorgeous piece of gear (the Bakoon) yet much smaller in person. Looks beautifully made. Glad they dropped the pricing. There is so much competition in that 6K-8K range. Alan
Had Soundkaos designer Martin Gateley been present, you'd have heard proper music. Martin gives very good demo. But designing brilliant hifi gear and running a killer demo aren't synonymous by any stretch and particularly John Darko over at darko.audio pens scathing repeat reminders about how weak and overplayed so many show music choices continue to be. So your comment falls right in line. Pleased to hear you enjoyed the sound however if not the music itself -:) Srajan
