First, I want everyone to know what a true friend Jonathan is to Rich and myself. He flew out from NYC on his own dime to help us for the full length of the show. Jonathan excells at running the room, DJing and answering questions, while Rich and I prefer hallway speaker-geek conversations. This is the second time that Jonathan has done this; he also helped us out in a huge way at RMAF last year. This year he spent so much time in our room that I'm sure that he sadly missed out on some of those dome tweeters and ceramic woofers at both shows. Thanks, Jonathan!I'm not sure if we have rendered a "gaping vent" in the side of high end speakers, but I do know that it is difficult to return to small direct radiator systems after spending time with the big horns and compression drivers. I would like to think that we might help spawn a movement, with more and more horn systems appearing over time. Am I dreaming? Sure, size will always limit the market somewhat, but cost should not; I saw plenty of $40k - $70k small direct radiator systems this year.
It is difficult demoing big horns in a small room. We took two dozen sound absorbing panels and tried to make the best of a bad situation. Trouble is, the room I would like to have at THE Show costs $18,000!
I would also like to thank my nephew Mike and friends Brian and Mark for making the trip out from L.A. to help support our effort. It was great to have you there.
