The fact that those Audio Note (UK) show rooms utilized relatively modestly priced equipment and simple hifi systems based on integrated amplifiers to achieve such consistent excellence, piqued my curiosity, and when a lot of other show rooms with much more expensive separates were rather easily outperformed by the Audio Note (UK) rooms, I took note.
