6th Annual Vancouver Island diyFEST 2009 - Page 13

Hello All,

Well another year has come and gone,,,,

First off a big thank you to the hosts Ruth and Dave, you guys are ah-some! Also kudos to Chris and Daniel and all those who helped out in the days before hand. I can only imagine how much work went into this.

As usual I found myself gravitating to the Big outdoor system which is conveniently located close to the beer cooler and Cal's pee tree? Sorry Cal. What was unexpected was the performance of Bob's 166 esr's in the stock Fostex boxes. As Chris likes to phrase it "they weren't hurtful" and somehow there was something hauntingly familiar about the sound?

It was great seeing everyone and also meeting a few new faces.

Luck and health to all,
Frank

Also a big thank you to Bob Reimer of CSS who donated a large amount of product for the draw, of which I took home a pair of FR125's.

Looks like 3 days of Peace & Music.

A splendid way to experience the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Groovy vibes, big tube rigs, full range drivers, and dirt. How grand. Pushing the envelope for the rest of us. Congratulations.

Hello Gang:
I am home after a great day up on the mtn. I must thank Ruth for her patience and kindness. She always has a smile and a kind word. Dave, Chris, Daniel, Jess and others put on a great show. I was quite impressed with Bob's horns out front near the cooler. I really liked the Mileva's on the back deck. I wish I spent more time with the Tysens. Greg did a great job of redoing the ST70 I really liked it.
I got kind of lost in all the different single driver speakers in the living room. They all sounded good to me.
The bass cannon was quite fun. That gut sucking feeling is something a person remembers.
Thanks for all the great prizes.

I always like getting together with my Audio-nutbar friends.

Cal I missed you, I never got into any trouble. Oh well the beer was good

Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone who made the 6th annual Vancouver Island diyFest a success. We missed those of you who couldn't attend: hopefully we will see you in 2010. And everyone else come back too, of course!

Here are a few photos. Hope you enjoy them.
