We just received these awesome photos from Hans, our distributor in Netherlands. They are from a client of his in Rotterdam. The FormFloors really seem to have been released into their natural habitat.
It seems that the FormFloors are hooked up with stylish AVM electronics.

The Dream Weekend 27-28/11/09
It might seem like a distant dream now after the holidays and CES but the Marten Showroom was crowded with audio lovers on the last weekend in November 09.
Erik Andersson and Ola Hesselvall, demonstrated their latest amplifier project: The Dream. This has been legendary audio designer Erik’s dream for many years and he has really put all of his experience and heart into it.
The tube amplifier has direct heated triodes (Russian GM70) which are unusually powerful for being single ended (40W). The setup was really something, with our new reference model Coltrane Momento, Jorma Prime cables, Bladelius Embla CD-player, EAT Forte turntable, Helius Omega 12″ tone-arm, Einstein Audio TU3 cartridge and Einstein Audio “Little Big Phono” phonostage.
The furniture used was G.A.D.-Marten. By that we mean the audio furniture and not the brand of the sofa we sat on. And no, it’s not from IKEA:)

Zine Noodles Dim Sum, a favourite for a quiet lunch in one of the neighbouring resorts to the Venetian, Palazzo Resort.

Great day today. Loads of good music and hifi systems. There’s only one day left and we have a lot of rooms yet to see. Here are a few of the coolest ones, in our opinion.

What type of cold do you get in a place like Las Vegas? A fake one of course. Perfumed, air-conditioned air plus jet lag can feel like a real bad cold but after a good nights sleep you feel ok again. Even just a fake cold can make your energy levels low so this day dragged on a bit.

It’s funny in Vegas, without windows and clocks anywhere, you can spend a whole lot of time indoors without any idea of what time of the day it is. When you finally walk outside you are shocked to find a beautiful day with blinding sunlight…

Finally in glitzy Las Vegas and all that comes with it; casinos, Elvis impersonators, drive-in weddings and of course the biggest Electronics Show in the world. As you get used to the perfumed air (they actually scent the air in most of the casinos) it is quite a cool place to be.
