At the March 1993 Stereophile Show, San Francisco Stereo Plus had multiple rooms. The flagship room had stacks of Krell electronics, driving an Apogee Studio Grand. The latter had a huge subwoofer module as a base. On top of that was the fin-shaped ribbon panel.
That room was busy. When music played, I could only get so close to the seats. Still, even when standing along the side, I thought the sound remained relatively clear.
SF Stereo+ had a smaller room, with B&W Matrix loudspeakers. There, the staff kindly played my Dream Theater Images And Words CD. I still have the actual CD, photographed above. One attendee thought that Kenny G was playing the soriano sax, on "Another Day." But no, the sax player was Spyro Gyra's Jay Beckenstein.
Other audiophiles tell me that they *think* the May Audio room used Roksan and QED electronics.
At the end of 1993, Ultimate Sound moved out of the "dungeon" basement, and into a 2nd floor unit on Grant Street. Ultimate Sound then became a Totem Acoustic dealer. Yup, that same Dream Theater CD was used to audition various products, including the Totem Model One, at Ultimate Sound.
