Opinion
First Impressions: It sounds terrific
I had the chance to get some hands on ( or should that be pinna on ? ) time with the Shockwafe system and even though I was only about to spend about 30 minutes listening to a few demos in a hotel room , the results were impressive .
There ’s a real level of immersion with this system , but it ’s the simplicity of the setup that really stood out for me . My demonstration room was a standard hotel retinue and it only drive around 30 minutes for the arrangement to be properly punch in and apparatus , no calibration or anything like that want .
