I’m blogging on this concert as it reminded me why HiFi and AV enthusiasts get all excited about kit that brings the live concert into the home. Over 88,000 people witnessed a spectacular performance from U2, on a stage that defied belief and by the nature of a 360 degree stage, gave the whole audience something to watch for two and a half hours.
I couldn’t wait to get back to work Saturday (can you believe that!!) to blast some old favourties in our top floor demo room, which houses some rather nice Definitive Technolgy Mythos Ones. Pure stereo through an Onkyo TX-SR876 receiver, it all sounded marvellous, not quite Wembley, but less distortion!
So I can’t wait for the concert on Blu-ray (when it’s officially released) presented in our main demo room with the RS900 Runco + anarmorphic lens, Beamax 2.35:1 ratio screen and Triad InWall Silvers and our forthcoming NAD amplification.
Actually a final thought – 3D! This concert was presented as 360′, ideal for putting on those indoor sunglasses and watching Bono & The Edge parade around the centre stage – in your living room?
