next up is this system with Audionec speakers, Nagra and VPI turntables, Nagra monoblock amps, Nagra preamp, and Nagra phono. easily the most expensive in the show at $500k+ USD total. they were mostly playing large-scale orchestral music which this system excelled at. I think it would be a bit dry and boring for non-classical music, very revealing and honest (to a fault). speakers are bit bright for my taste as well. can’t say that I was blown away given the price tag but it is pretty remarkable that you can just summon a virtual “orchestra” in front of you with some speakers and boxes. I’ve listened to many orchestras and played in just as many as a musician, and this actually sounds like the real thing if you close your eyes.
