Hello!

I am finally in front of a computer so I can post some pics!

I had a great time last night. Dave and Ruth put on a great event! Thank you to everyone that contributed, brought great equipment, and great cheer. I only managed to snap a few photos and there's some pictures of equipment that I totally failed to take.

The Emken reminds me of the Churchill, can't remember by who, with the driver right at the top.
I can see a super tweeter in some shapely pod resting on top, perhaps in machined granite or Corian?

They said changed the vents on it, that's a radical change. It'll be nice to see measurements of the before and after responses to see the specific effect.
 
The pies were outstanding! So was all the food for that matter. My only regret is not leaving room for more pie!

Dave, perhaps you can post a pic of the FF85WK trapezoidal miniFonken on it's woofer stands? I managed to miss taking a photo of it. This as and Bob's SDX7+Alpair 6 2-way totally blew me away. 2 more excellent examples of a FAST style design.

A huge thanks goes out Dave and Ruth for doing it yet again. From what I remember, we had a lot of fun. :) Great to see the old faces again.
Thanks to Jesse also for the salmon and Elk, to Gregg for the veggies and other goodies.
Great to hear all the new speaker stuff. Thanks to CSS Bob for bringing new toys and contributing to the raffle and to all who contributed for that matter. Can't wait to get at my newly won and purchased drivers and other things.
Nice amps too. Some really great looking and sounding stuff.
Great to see my brother from another mother Scott and his new mini camping rig. I am totally jealous of that thing.
Thanks to Jimmy for playing into the wee hours of the morning on the lower stage. Thanks again to Dave for having some big sounding PA type speakers when I chickened out bringing mine. (not a drop of rain fell on us btw) He cleared a big spot up the driveway for the speakers. He also cleared me a new location for the love palace.
Having Terry there was great, except that he hogged the raffle winnings ending up with 9 winning tickets. Can you believe him?
Yes, we missed the likes of Dave R, Kevin H, Barry, Ryan, Bud, Al and some others that couldn't make it, but a couple shots of rum cured that.
New faces too. There was Mark from Sydney, originally England, Tom from somewhere, originally Denmark? and I think a couple of others but I'm not sure, things got a little blurry after a while.
Chris, Kyle, Fleming, Daniel, Dana, Les, Rene, Lou, Brenda, Jeff, Don, Dimitri (who am I forgetting?)- Good to see all of you again. I hope Dimitri makes good use of his new scale.
This group is a lot of fun. Hardly anyone got out of line and if they tell you otherwise, don’t listen to them, I was a perfect gentleman, just ask Suzy :rolleyes:

Next year BIG speakers :smash:

Dear Mr. Well-done,

I was sure that I ended up with ten winning tickets, not nine!
It's not really a big deal, the only reason I mention it at all, is to inform the causual reader that I won MORE TIMES THAN CAL!
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Best Regards,
TerryO
