Ah....wow.
Stunned. @decooney ...If someone could bring back some memories of a chunk
of my audiohistoria, you just did with nearly all of the above.
Filled in some blanks, too.
I actually had the ’pleasure’ of being in a room with the Transar Trio, ’unpleasurable’
in the fact that they were not being played.
Recognized the large Heil’s, sub likely a big woof, but the ’midrange’....WTF?
’K...c/f rods, alum ’bubble wrap’ kinda stuff, driven bottom only top too close to the Heil....?
Price, like the Apogees’ of the era, in a much higher orbit than the parasail kite I flew on the beach. I’m pretty sure it was the 2nd and last S.F. Audio Show.
The second was where I wore hearing protection so I only had to listen properly to what I wanted v. being merely subjected to. The first one was only slightly less crowded, but most of the vendors were playing their wares Loud.
Always different music that flowed into halls, the sound reaching between showrooms a muddle of beats, riffs, creates a headache that one ought to have after having one’s skull vibrated like that.
