Anyone make it out there this weekend? I went earlier today and had a nice time. Some things that stood out for me...
1. SVS was there and had a very nice lineup of gear. The cutaway of the PB-13 was great. The driver they use in this thing is MASSIVE, weighing in around 70lbs. Built like a tank and will destroy your home like a tank. The rest of their speakers were very nice. They had a 2 channel rig and HT rig setup.
2. Woo Audio. I've been drooling over their vacuum tube headamps for years and figured I was set on their WA6-SE rig, but their new WA7 unit was VERY impressive! I left wanting it over the WA6-SE. See more here...

3. Legacy Audio. When I left their room, I began wondering if I could survive on a ramen noodle only diet so I could afford a pair of their speakers. They were just classic big effing speakers that sounded amazing!
Of course, not everything was desirable. There were some rooms I walked out of and had to check my ears for blood. Yeah, not sure where the design and engineering went wrong...or what they hear VS me.

I planned on going, but life got in the way.
I know you took pics John, get 'em posted.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

I know VPI was showing off some good stuff there.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
