That sums it up nicely!

"You and a buddy pack up a van and drive your affordable hifi to the show, which gets you in and out for under $15k. Two questions—how much does an affordable hifi cost and how much of it do you have to sell to break even? Let me help—not enough and too much."

This one had me laughing. Yep that's what we did last week at Capital AudioFest and his numbers are pretty close to reality. It's not cheap to do a show even if you are frugal and happen to sell some gear.

Shame less plug the system in our room was $25-30K depending on front end. I thought it sounded pretty good!

You guys play the best music. My wife's best HiFi show experience was at your room years ago listening to Grand Master Flash.

  Thank you!
  
  We learned a long time ago that people will quickly forget the sound they heard but they will remember the fun they had. And anyone that doesn't have fun with Robin Wyatt is a dud!!
