AV Designs was in the midst of setting up its AV demo system consisting of electronics from Bryston and loudspeakers from PMC. The spectrophotometer on tripod will be used to calibrate the picture later, as AV Designs always does for all its AV installations

I find the sound of most hifi rooms displayed this year to be poor.
What I really do not understand is how they can get such good gears to sound so awful. Think about it, some of them cost 6 figures each!
I think the reason behind this is because
1. the gear may not be run-in for the show
2. the room may not be suitable(though I doubt this)
3. some of the distributors either do not know how to set up the system properly
4. incompatibility issues
What puzzles me is that some companies even resort to using computer to be the source for their system. And they tell the people who listen to the system that even with this type of source, the sound is good!
