A friend and I went yesterday and spent a few hours there.
A few highlights for me...
- Meeting Anne Bisson and buying an autographed copy of Blue Mind.
-Modwright. Meeting Dan in person was nice, he's been very helpful and kind. The sound in the room was very good. Small room, but it was set up really well for such a small space.
-Acoustic Fields "room". Sound was really nice and demonstrated the importance of room treatment.
-Joseph Audio. They had the Pulsar Graphene speakers playing. Amazing sound for their size. It was a large room and besides the clarity, imaging, and soundstage, the bass was quite impressive. A friend has these in a well set up room and they are incredible.
-Daedalus Audio. Really nice sounding speakers and beautifully made.
-Salk Sound. I don't recall which model they had set up (I think they were the Be Pure 2), but they were really dynamic and had great imaging.
-Spatial Audio Lab. That was my first time hearing open baffle speakers. Very nice.
-Linkwitz Audio. Weird looking speakers, but in a good way. Impressive bass for their form factor.
We didn't have a chance to see everything. Hopefully the show returns next year and I can plan better and spend more time there. Much appreciation for Lou Hinkley and Gary Gill and their team for pulling this together. It was a nice event.
