DC Metro -- New

I would like to see what level of interest there is in re-starting a Washington-DC area Audio Society. F2Audio held a meeting in Falls Church last summer that was well attended. Unfortunately, the attendance list no longer exists. F2Audio is closing and being replaced by Command Performance AV (same owner Jeff). I am willing to host an upcoming meeting at our location in Falls Church. I am sure we could get a manufacturer to speak to us. I was thinking of having a meeting towards the end of Sept. What might be fun for an October meeting is to have mini-trip reports of what was cool at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.

I am open to suggestions as to topics or if someone else would rather host. My goals are to 1) try to get the Society going and 2) this time keep it going.

If anyone is interested in a meeting please post here AND email me at jeff@commandav.com so that I can send updates to everyone via email.

To all of our Washington DC Audio Society members...

If you did not already know, the Capital Audiofest (http://www.capitalaudiofest.com/p1.html) is being held in Rockville, MD from 6/11 - 6/13. This is the first show in the DC area in a long time and it would be great to have this as an annual event. So if you can make it, please try to attend. This should be a fun event. Besides the product demonstrations, there will be live music and a swap meet.

If anyone wants to take picture and blog about this, we can post this to the club website (http://metrodcaudiosociety.blogspot.com/).

Capital Audio Fest was a very nice event. I don't see how they made any money, but I hope they do it again.

The venue was gorgeous and really helped add a lot of ambiance to the overall experience. In the room to the left rear of teh first floor with the big SOTA horn system, I felt a bit trasported back 100 years or so but with a fantastic 21st century system leveraging the best of old and new in one place.

The box with free records for attendees was a very nice touch! I could have spent a whole day browsing through the vinyl collection titles available for sale alone.

The sound of the systems set ranged mostly from very good to quite stellar. There were some good audio values to be found there to boot. Nicely done!
