Although we didn't get to spend as much time in this room as we would have liked to, it was very nice. Well Pleased AV, aqua acoustic quality, Innuos, Qualitron, Rethm, SGR, Swisscables. Usually every time we passed by, this room was crowded, but Jacob George of Rethm and Mark Sossa of Well Pleased AV let us cue up "Farewell" by UNKLE and spend a few minutes getting lost in the music. Truthfully, when exhibitors let your listen to what you want it really changes your whole experience at a show. This is not the first time Mark has let me hijack the iPad, and I know it won't be the last.
