Default What's the best system you ever heard?

I heard two interesting sources at the same Hi-Fi fair - one of the
last held here in Harrogate.

The first was Peter Walker demonstrating his (then) brand new ESL63's.
The source was an LP, the amp I know not but presumably either the
33/303 or a 405, and all in a very large room before a medium
audience. It was just so realistic!

The other was held in the ballroom of the Old Swan Hotel (remember
Agatha Christie?) The demo was by Philips using the biggest of their
then range of three motional feedback units. Again I don't know what
the recorded sources were, but it was of one of the famous Yorkshire
Brass bands - Black Dyke I think - and it was an A-B test with the
band live. Now THAT was something!
