Hi Mats, PaulThanks both for the kind words and for attending, it had been a long time since I did an AES thing like that but it was fun and something I should do more I guess.
Paul I remembered you immediately from the Chicago Horn fest from some years ago.
I am pleased that the speakers impressed “horn guys” although I do wish the room had been more suitable for stereo.
If they ask me back, I will do a presentation on the Tapped horn subs that go with the sh-50’s and bring the whole thing.
The fireworks especially benefit from that lower two octaves, quite humorous in a living room actually.
Maybe this summer I could have the you and Kurt and the Chi horn guys up for a speaker BBQ if you want.? Irish Tom would have a longer drive.
Anyway, thanks again,

Hi TomA BBQ sounds great, but Kurt would have the longest drive as he's in California now ; ) I had kind of forgotten, in my other post, that the Synergys could be used as sound re-enforcement speakers. This in itself is amazing, that a speaker with pro-sound lineage could sound so good playing music. Good enough to compete with anything you would be likely to find at one of the hi-end shows. I look forward to hearing them well set up in a better space. FWIW My friend was the one that asked you about your CD player, and suggested that you use a better one for demos. Here's how to handle this if it comes up again: tell em the player is modified. This should shut most people up, unless they ask what you did to it, and if you get secretive, that just makes it better. Kevin Hoskins brought over a modified Pioneer DVD player once that was the only moderately priced CD player that has bettered my moded Rotel 855, so people will respect a hot rod with a modest pedigree. Ya gotta be careful how ya handle those neurotic audiophiles ; )
Good luck with these speakers, they are winners!
Greets!I talked to Scott yesterday to get an idea when the big sub would be ~done and he mentioned you would be there before heading to the Orlando show, but didn't know when, so was wondering if you'd firmed up your plans yet.
BBQ? I'll come up Tom, you bet.
