I'll be there! Will there be a swap meet style setup? I have some commercially made speakers I've been looking to offload, though that's probably not in the spirit of the show
Great!
By the way, offering speaker components in "Bundled Units" isn't off limits.
See you there!

Hi Terry,
How long is the event scheduled to last? I'll be bringing a small set of book shelf speakers, will amps be provided?
Usually the event lasts from about 9:30 (set-up time) until about .....4:30 pm or so.
We don't provide amps, so you'll have to ask anyone with an amp if you can hook up to their equipment. Some people will be bringing only amps and preamps, so it usually works out fairly well.
See you on Saturday,
TerryO
A few pictures of the fun
Due to indecision and procrastination, I was only able to bring a stack of modules, rather than a completed design. Fortunately after an hour of connecting wires and cursing at software (canceling an update of JRiver mid-update can make you sad), decent sound came out of my 4-way active crossover system. Without a proper baffle it was Ok but not great. Managed to get a MiniDSP 2x4 HD working in each speaker linked to the laptop via Toslink. Optical speaker cables baby!
I too was lucky to get ten minutes in the center chair of the "Beyond the Ariel" room and was blown away
by the sound with the new horns installed. Something about the radiation pattern produced a wrap around sound field almost as if the room was a big pair of head phones. I also really liked the wild and beautiful shape of Geoff's 3-D printed stand mount speakers (sorry no photo) I was hoping he would bring the towers out, but he isn't quite that crazy. I didn't get pic's of Gary's setup, but here a few from the other rooms.

No, I didn't ever get to it. The other horns had the Radian 745NeoBe drivers. Might have been interesting, but I wasn't able to get the system dialed in well enough during the event to inspire further experiments. Come over sometime and we can run the comparison with my system in its natural habitat.
