If you’re lucky, you’ll see a potted plant or two.īut you may find yourself drawn into a swish grotto resembling a cross between a New York City penthouse as seen in Better Homes and Gardens, a sci-fi movie set, and an opium den.
Walk through room after room, and you’ll see the same sterile exhibits with a few rows of chairs and racks of equipment. At audio shows, manufacturers plonk their products down with little fanfare and less style. There’s little sense of showmanship and panache in the world of high-end hi-fi.
