Unfortunately, I did forget my tent. I guess I should have checked here for your reminder before going.Good thing I had enough gas to come all the way home tonight. Come to think of it, the pavement in the parking lot wouldn't go good with tent stakes. Hmmm.......
Everyone had a good time. There was a variety of speakers, amps, a DAC, and even a home-made turntable cut from mostly wood. I'll have to download some pic's tomorrow - even the really cool turntable.
Everone survived the event and, I believe, had a pretty good time. I'll be heading for bed pretty soon to catch up on some much needed sleep, but hopefully I'll be able to add my two-bits worth tomorrow.
Best Regards,
Terry
pictures!
Thought I had taken more. I know I missed some of the speakers. Jay brought some DQ-20's, which I regret not having a picture of now. Hopefully someone else has a shot of Jay's (and others that I missed).
Anyway, I'll group them by post to make captions easier. A 4-way, with some "voofen" that might interest our buddy Cal in Canada, eh?

I brought in my 2.1 computer/office set up. The woofer is a Dayton 8" DVC in a ported, 30 liter box, tuned to about 28 Hz. The plate amp is a 2.1 class D, with variable crossover, sub volume, and separate satellite volume. The satellites are some old ratshack drivers from about 20 years ago. The paper cone 4" wide range and paper cone tweeter have a pretty nice detail. The speaker cables are of the "white lightning" variety, as described in a 6Moons article from a few years back. All in all, a fun project for under $200.

Also brought my 3-way series that kept me off the streets for a few months last year. I believe Damon's amp was driving them at this time. Several other amps were used, including Terry's Gainclone, one of Rene' Jaeger's latest creations, among others. It was all good.

These are actually 3 way, the midranges are in series.
That's my industrial-fugly Leach ver 4.4x (still being tweaked) amplifier sitting in the center. Built in the early 80s and still going strong after a major upgrade in the latter 90s. Still looking for a better solid state amplifier design to replace it.

And my favorite for last. Off in the side room there was something spinning that caught my eye. I know I don't get out much, but I don't think I ever saw anything like that, or even expected anything like it. You really have to see it to believe it. Nice job, Jeremy! I bow in the presence of your cool factor.
The Econowave speakers were also Jeremy's, although Will assembled the crossovers for him. Nice sound, in a wavy gravy cool setting. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

TerryO's curved arrays are always a point of interest. The Adire AV8's really fill out the bottom end, and the sweet spot ... well what more can you say?!
Don't recall if the GainClone was hooked up at this time or not.
Hi Dave,
From your picture it looks like Rene's Class A, Push-Pull amp is driving them. As usual, Rene' turned out another superb amp for everyone's enjoyment, although there's another builder out there finishing up "his" masterpiece.
It was a pretty good meet and people certainly had the opportunity to try out different combinations of gear.
Best Regards,
Terry
Cal,
Just cut that out, you're viewing them with the look of love in your "mind's eye".
The AV8 is only 8 inches across. The cabinet is tuned to 33-34 Hz and as far as we could measure them at DaveR's place, they seem to be about that in-room. With the right music, they have a pretty fair amount of impact on the bottom end.
Best Regards,
Terry
Terry,
What no paint on those things yet ....?
What's the hurry?
In fact, someone at the meet this last weekend even mentioned covering up my beautiful Bond...er, APTS* finish, with some sort of wood-like stuff from Koala Bear trees.
*APTS: Activated Polyester Tone Sauce
Best Regards,
Terry
