Hi Sonnie, well setting up a system in a hotel room is always a big challenge, however there were many systems that sounded great such as:

Focal and Naim with Grand Utopia EM EVO Speakers, it never sounded better, however I was told that the bass at 14HZ -6 db caused a ceiling light fixture to rattle. But that qucikley was fixed and the G. Utopia never sounded better.

Wilson Speakers, always impressive with their excellence in all things. (I m big fan) Not much more need to be said.

AURALIC And ESD The last two pictures above, supper Dragon speakers system showcased in Munich show, impressive horn speaker system priced only at $4,000,000. It comes with all the amps and horns and was playing AC/DC when we went in the room. A picture is attached.

ZESTO Audio system
The Zesto Audio rooms was always amazing.
And many many more impressive systems.

Not to mention there were many Master classes/ seminars, that always informative about Audio, room acoustics and Optimization.
