Who's coming to RMAF this year? I'll be attending as usual, if there are a few of us going we should meet up for dinner one night, I know some great places up here.

The hotel is supposed to be done this year, if so this will be the first show in a couple years that isn't a complete cluster. Anyone who has the means to get up here should make a trip...this show is a perfect mix of guys building speakers in their garages, smaller high end companies and the big boys.

    If I do make the trip, I have a gaggle of Denver friends who fight over me staying with them so I would only be there for the show. Good news is I would be driving myself so...

    I won't be able to be there in person, but I'm very excited to say our cables will be in 2 rooms this year. :) We will be in the Raven Audio/Legacy Speakers room, and will also be in the JWM Acoustics room.

    Wish I could go to the RMAF and Skip's house the following weekend but I can only take off work for one of them so I'll be at Skip's.

    Would have been great meeting Larry & Brian & Ivan and others again like Ryan!

    Candyliquor is known by few anymore but nonetheless famous. Not so much in a good way.

    Ron (rsaravan) was a whole different character and torment to the forum. Bye bye to both!

    I owned a pair of AL++ that I got from Ricardo, who got them from Rich, who got them from ??? Nice speakers!

    Norm (RIP). Still miss him. Norm had the Black and the Oak AL's. IIRC both had the woofer upgrade. I think I did the woofer upgrades in one of them, the Oak AL's.

    Ed the SRT king said he melted the fuses on a pair of AL's cranking them up to see how loud they would play with the Krell amps...lol
