Musikelectronic Geithain presented a 5.1 surround system in a large room.  The system consisted of three ML 811K1 speakers for the left center and right channels, a pair of ME 804K speakers for the left and right surround channels and an Basis 14K subwoofer. Amplification was by RL-Amplifiers.  The multichannel source was from Merging Technologies, and consisted of the MERGING+NADAC, the MERGING+CLOCK with a MERGING+POWER power supply.  The acoustic treatments were from Artnovion.

Surround sound recordings from Northstar Recording were used for the demonstration.  The recordings were of live orchestral, opera and jazz performances.  Whatever the genre, the 5.1 system and acoustic treatment produced a very natural sound, with all the dynamics and authority of a live performance.  The enveloping sound field that was truly immersive, presenting the ambient sounds and the acoustic of the original performance space.  This was a very impressive demonstration with very fine sound indeed.
