RE: set up by Jim?

Silly statement about signs.

Otherwise, I was one of his Avantgarde dealers back the day. He actually speaks about a particularly difficult room in his book, Get Better Sound, which resulted in a best of show and signing several dealers up. I was one of those dealers.

Two years ago I attended Jim's RoomPlay Reference session in his Cummings, GA studio.

In each case, entirely different systems and rooms. Still two of the best sounding systems I've ever heard. The valuable lesson for me was, as long as the gear is half decent, the best set up guys can work miracles. Michael Green of Room Tunes used to take a cheap system and amaze folks.

So, regardless of who does the set up, my main point is that the better sounding rooms at shows have far more to do with the quality of system set up than the gear itself.

I know he's done this for other manufacturers but I can't name them. If you are really interested, contact Jim and ask.
