I visited every room (edit: except Absolute Sounds - ran out of time) but didn't see any Logitech stuff.
There were more exhibitors than I expected - but the usual low quality end result. Best bits for me (although YMMV - show conditions - tracks chosen etc): - Marten Coltrane speakers. Muscular, airy and present with a track I've never heard before from The Clash. Nice with Rodrigo y Gabriela (acoustic guitar) but that sounds pretty nice at home too ;-) - All-EAR system using their more compact planar speakers. Set up better than the bigger EAR system in the main hotel...stonking with Nat King Cole, but couldn't rock so well. - Meridian DSP5200. Very "dry" sounding - bit too dry. Otherwise, in every other area impressive. Not sure what was causing the dry sound, so the jury is out. - JM Lab / Focal. Nothing special this year, but they never sound bad! - There was a new Cambridge start-up with an omni-tweeter, transmission line bass. Can't remember the name but the sound had very few boxy colorations, good on transients, quite realistic on the tracks we heard. A general gripe. I don't like it when exhibitors play unfamiliar music. I can't gauge the sound. If it sounds great, then I can bear it...but if the unfamiliar music doesn't sound good then that leaves zilch to recommend it.
