With this episode of the audio analyst©, "Episode 167: Southwest Audio Fest 2024-Best Rooms - High End by Oz," I’m highlighting the remarkable sonic achievements of Room 1401 at that show. It was sponsored by 3mA, a Houston retail establishment, United Home Audio, and High End by Oz.
This is the first of several in-room presentations I will be bringing to my YouTube channel and also republish to readers of Positive Feedback.
I want to share both the exquisite venue selected for this event, as well as the accomplishments of some of the most exceptional sounding rooms at the simply excellent inaugural Southwest Audio Fest, which was held March 15th through 17th, at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas Texas. Keep your eyes on this show; it is a rising star on the annual circuit.
The undeniably synergistic presentation of this particular system was utterly captivating. Upper-frequency extension was seemingly effortless and unrestricted in a way very difficult to describe more accurately, and in a way that I cannot recall having experienced in quite this same manner at a show. The presentation rendered not only an incredibly engaging sense of the space of the venue, but conveyed the vitality and dynamics of the instruments, while remaining relaxed and delivering everything with an effortless flow. One of its most amazing attributes was its disarmingly honest sense of tonality and texture.
Take a look and have a listen.
