HiFi Show - Switzerland

Went to the annual hifi show in Greinfensee, near Zurich that was back on after a 2yr absence.
Its an enjoyable experience if you can forget the eye watering prices…. There were 8 systems on show with an average system price of 50K euros.
For a small country it has a lot of expensive brands….most of which I’d never heard of.

What was the most impressive sounding room?

The most impressive sound was this room, but it should be as when I added up what was switched on, it was more than 100K Euros. The speakers alone were 45K!
Looked amazing though.
They played Nils Lofgren and Pink Floyd.

Their were a couple of active speakers. This one was 35K but it was a huge sound for a small size and all you would need would be a front end and dac.

Best value for money and with a sound almost as good as the 100K system was this active system. Speakers were 25K and the preamp/Dac was 5K. Looks wise a bit disappointing but sound wise very impressive. Their monitor speakers are used in a lot of studios.

Michael Fremer has the Dartzeel electronics you posted above. I have never, unfortunately, heard them. Considered among the best.
Don’t know what are the speakers associated, Audionec maybe ?

Nice venue, the rooms look very elegant.
But I guess when you’re asking those kind of prices it’s important to be more stylish than the usual hotel rooms?
Looks like it would have been an inspiring experience!
