It won't have been Geoff - he's running the show, not the rooms, of which there were around 10-15. I think he's more of a Porsche guy, from what I gather.
As for the sounds, the reports are pretty consistent, however surprised you might be.

I live down the road from Acoustica and the Doubletree in Chester. I drive past both at least twice a week, I didn't even know the show was taking place until it was too late to go.
Hi Neil,
Yup, but he's normally rather hands on and fussy about standards, so I'm surprised the folk working for him weren't 'up to snuff'... Not to worry, the proof of the pudding is in what you experienced at the show, which is disappointing :(
Yes I know he's a Porsche guy, but he's also into other types of nice cars, so a Ferrari wouldn't be out of the question. Bad attitude and poor sounds... Standards have slipped at Acoustica since I was there!
Marco.
Thanks Hugo, but I won't hold you to that. Like "F**k Off" by Wayne County And The Electric Chairs, it's a song that'll clear a room.
Look forward to seeing you at the show though, with a more appropriate request :)
Spot on, Clive, no system does it all.
Given the amazing breadth of what is called music it would be astonishing if one system could cover it all.
A system which can really boogie with reggae music will likely fall flat on its face when asked to present a string quartet or girl with guitar or Peruvian nose flute.
All any of us do is select a system that covers our own limited choice of music as best it can.
You do see reports of mega rich buggers who have multiple top flight systems, and the rooms to put them in, to address this very issue.
