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.

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.
I am looking forward to attending the show this year. This will be my first time, and I was wondering if anyone can give me pointers. My wife and I plan on arriving in Denver on Wednesday to take in the sights and I will attend the show on Friday and Saturday. I am really looking forward to meeting some of the manufacturers I have e-mailed with and talked with on the phone. I am also looking forward to meet the people that frequent the Audiogon web site. We should wear tags with our Audiogon names so we can recognize each other.

Any advice for a first timer would be appreciated.
thanks for the kick start, I just made my reservations. My wife is also coming with. Any suggestions for eats and entertainment that weekend.Like slowhand I'm looking forward to meeting people i've spoken with, and my ears are ready for variety.Again thanks for the responce and kick in the butt.
Just bought my ticket for the fourth year. I always come away with knowledge I didn't go there with. I don't know of any other show that you can see just about everything made. I would say yeah make the trip plan 4 days and spend one in the mountains. Colo. is a beautiful place.
