I've been to the same shows and met both Cogent guys. Carried with me some unique field coil compression driver and wanted their opinion.
While I didn't think RMAF 07 was a successful show for Cogent, the pair was some of the nicest people in Audio I met. Steve had an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage drivers.
Follow Ups:
Maybe a good show for Cogent after all.
They sold the speakers right off the floor of the show and delivered them to a customer, who lived right outside Denver, on the way home.
I bought that customers 'old' Edgar Horns and we are both still enjoying our speakers.

Than they really were...
Cogent had a lot of problems with that show and there was a distinct feeling of disappointment considering all the efforts which went into drivers and system and expectations resulting from those efforts. All horn systems on that show performed poorly. Welborne BD systems horns were a joke. Terry Cain (rip) big system (Bailey?) with Electronoluv amps was grotesquely bad and Avantagarde was underwhelming to say the least. I don't remember a single memorable set up from that show but I do remember driving from Michigan through Nebraska and Iowa thinking the plains will never end.
RMAF 2006 was the year that Teres owner Chris Brady bought the COGENTS right out of the room. It was the year Ron Welborne was in the COGENT room with is big reel to reel and his amps bi-amping the COGENTS.
Best sound I ever heard at a show.
Chris Brady at TERES bought the horns and showed them in 2007 in a huge room with wimpy EIMAC amps and they didn't sound nearly as good as the prior year.
Sorry, you should have driven out in 2006.
I bought Chris' Edgar Horns in early 2007, before RMAF. Sorry for the mistake.
