Hello,

Well, another excellent FEST! Thank you very much to Dave and Ruth for hosting. Here's a smattering of pictures.

[Nanook]

is that SCD?

if so looks to be in good health....

Had a good time. Didnt take any photos though. Didn't think to do it. I won some Alpair 6p drivers. Bought a couple more subwoofers from CSS. Learned some things about amps and listening indoors versus outdoors. Great food but I made the mistake of eating on the drive down. 😀

 

[Cal Weldon]

Made it home. Must not look very good, my wife just kinda looked at me sideways and pointed to the shower. No kisses.

Once again a big thanks to Dave and Ruth. Dave for being Dave and Ruth for keeping the crew in line. Not that anyone was stepping out of line of course. Isn't that right Scott? Isn't that right Chris? Hey Scott, I think we adopted a new brother this weekend.

Here's first prize in the 2.5" spiral horn category all the way from North Surrey BC, behold the 20"foam core with LG driver. Won it's class by a landslide. 😉

Included also are the discerning judges.
In the back we have DaveR, Mike, John, Fleming, Chris and Howard. On the couch is Terry and Bob.

 

[Cal Weldon]

First prize in the 4.5" Cornu style horn went to the Fostex FF125WK, complete with Planet10 mods. Again, a landslide winner in it's class.

 

[KaffiMann]

Really hope I get to attend one of those gatherings you have over there Dave.

Maybe in 3-4 years or so, that's a realistic guesstimate. Gotta go to Bali again in 2, no proper audio nuts there...

Anyways, seems like you guys had fun 🙂

Edit:
Cal, you seem like a die-hard promoter of the Cornu these days, are they really that good?

 

[Cal Weldon]

Best in class hybrid. This is a box with a passive radiator. Since this engineering is far beyond my ability to understand, perhaps Howard, the proud owner will chime in here. That's a Fostex FE206E maybe?

 

[Cal Weldon]

This is Kyle before and after you tell him you nicked his car on your way to get more beer.

Hahahah! Internal conflict! "What? My car? More beer?"

 

[Cal Weldon]

Mike is one of the new judges this year. If you think he isn't serious, my friends you are what we like to call wrong.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Ol' sleepyhead here says he was merely closing his eyes to remove outside interference when making those tough judging decisions.

Uh-huh.

Nice shirt though. By wearing that he has been officially recognized as an honourary Canadian eh!

 

[Cal Weldon]

John here was another of the newbs. Nice guy. Another one of our American brothers. Hope he returns next year.

 

[Cal Weldon]

So up next we have Jeff, the pie man, facing the camera, Howard beside him, Dimitri having a long pull on his smoke and oh! what's that? Brother from another mother starting to get naked? Good, I knew this place was going to liven up sooner or later.

 

[Cal Weldon]

See?
