AKFest, who's going?

I was just wondering who was planning to attend AK Fest at the end of the month? I haven't seen much buzz about it here. I also wanted to let people know that I'll be there with 2 rooms. One room will be shared with Bill O'Connell and Morningstar Audio (Eastern Electric), and will be using my Cirrus speakers. The other room will have BMC electronics, the S1 amp and DAC1, and will be using my Breeze and Arcus speakers. I'll also have a display of my upcoming Nimbus floorstander, and possibly a demo of the new Cirrus White - with the high efficiency Accuton midwoofer.

I hope to meet some new people there, and put faces with some screen names.

Oh I will certainly be by to say hi. Ozzy, good to see you will be there too, having seen you around these forums for a while.

Ryan, that's good to hear about the Aurora updates. Really looking forward to hearing the other models you offer. Those RAAL ribbons are real intriguing.

The Eastern Electric/Vapor room will be hosting a little late night listening session if you stop bye and want to hear some more a little later in the evening .Probably can't play it to loudly but I can't think of a better way to kick back and enjoy some music.
Please stop by and introduce yourself.

Had a fabulous time at AKFest yesterday, and wow did all of the Vapor Speakers I heard really impress. All the more amazing since they had less time to set up than many due to transportation problems.

That Beyma tweeter in a waveguide was stunning on the Arcus, as was the RAAL on the Cirrus.

Roscoe, you are correct. All of the Vapor speakers were terrific. I thought the Arcus was amazing. I never thought I would hear a stand mounted 2 way that could be that refined yet play with big speaker ease/ lack of compression. They were stunning and the best speakers at the show, IMO.
