Exposure!

Then why do the exhibitors bother to go at all if not to show off what their products can do?

The same reason why automobile manufacturers exhibit at numerous venues every year.

Manufacturers don't honestly think that a cramped untreated hotel room can do really good components justice. I would agree that many dealers don't necessarily set up the components in the best way either.

No upper bass or lower midrange. Cellos sounded like the musicians were half dead... with the upper midrange/lower treble peak.

These are largely placement or compatibility issues. You work with what you have in those environments.

...and it can sound pretty damned close when the FR is carefully tweaked...sometimes.

From a FR perspective only, I have no doubt. As for hearing the full decay of the pedal sustain or the harmonically rich "growl" of the strings, better exists. It's all about priorities.
