is RMAF worth a trip

I live in DFW area and am curious if trip to denver is worth it.The problem is dealers here seem to have one model of brands I'm interested in, unless I want B&W. I'm happy with system but am looking to experment with others pieces. I want to hear other brands, but not if it is top of line products from the venders that i can't afford. IT has to be worth me missing going to the COWBOYS and cheating patriots game. So your input would be appreciated.

I went last year and had a great time. I walked into many rooms from $5,000-$150,000 and in most cases I was asked if I
brought anything that I would like them to play. Try that at the other shows. Small venue so walking is minimal. The hotel is great and not far from the airport. I am going back again this year and bringing my wife. If you can swing it, you will not be sorry.

if you don't go to ces, it is worth a trip to the rmaf.

I love the show. It's more relaxed than shows like CES. Modest in price from a manufacturers standpoint so you get a nice variety of equipment--some new stuff from new companies. Good people, not too expensive, probably the best end user show out there.

It is a good show and all the exhibitors that I spoke to were very friendly/helpful and were more than willing to share hi-fi chit chat.And as mentioned by Jig I didn't encounter anybody that would not entertain any of the cd's I took along to the show. I enjoyed It last year and certainly going this year also.

RMAF is heavily consumer oriented, while CES is largely for the trade. RMAF is more laid back than CES and easier to get around. This year's event is sold out, which should give you an idea what others think. While not every manufacturer will be represented, a large number will be.
