Hoping to be there also, most likely on the first day....Friday. Sam, I think Scaena are supposed to be there. I know Evolution Acoustics will be there, I spoke to Kevin Malmgrem a couple of weeks ago and he told me they will be displaying the MM Micro One.
Should be a good show, only Co. that may NOT be there is Magico, which is a shame as I was hoping to hear their latest offerings.

Hello DaveyF,

Scaena and Magico would be informative listening opportunities for my spouse and I (I always appreciate her participation, albeit we are both untrained listeners -- her hearing is very acute).

It'll be great to see Jonathan, again! I had a wonderful experience at Mike's listening to the Evolution Acoustics :cool:

Sonny and I should arrive to Irvine sometime between mid-morning and noon, Friday.

Time we met Gary

Perhaps a WBF gathering and a dinner one night. My two oldest sons live in the OC. Seems Friday will be best day

Steve,

Please keep us informed should there be a dinner soiree :cool: My spouse, Sonny, and I will accommodate ourselves at the Hilton. We were initially booked at the Atrium; however, we decided upon the venue hotel after reading unflattering reviews on tripadvisor -- kinda sounds like audio...doesn't it -LOL.

Thanks:p

Would be nice if those members that do end up attending could have an introductory meeting. Time and place? I will probably only attend on just Friday so that would work best for me.:D

Just got back from the show:D......Seems like there was an excellent turn-out. Several very good rooms and a lot of good music and great gear.
The Magico Q3's were playing and were very impressive:cool:. I thought the room with the Q3's and the Synergistic gear was the best sound at the show.:D
TAD's were also impressive and a close second IMO.:cool:
Great show, just too much to see and hear in one day.:(

I hope you got to hear the Scaena speakers. I had an extended late night session with them at Axpona in Atlanta and to me they are quite special.
