And IMHO this is *THE* single most important paragraph in Mark's
comments about this type of test. Sadly I missed the actual shoot out
but I will say that, from what I saw at the very tail-end of the demo
and Mark's comments at the end that the positioning for the vast
majority of the audience was totally wrong for listening to music. Added
to which it was a very large room indeed to fill from non-PA speakers!
;)

The other interesting thing in the figures is that there seems very
little between any of the players really on paper after the figures were
analysed.
