Heading there myself on Thursday & staying with friends at the now subdivision -- guess that's it --Fort Sheridan (more on that in a minute).
Anyways have tickets for all 3 days - attended RMAF for 12-13 years & haven't been to an event since the next to last RMAF. Really eager to engage with everyone.
Now about Fort Sheridan:
I was stationed there '88-'89 and lived in the post Command Sergeant Majors Quarters, built in 1894. It will be nice visiting a second time since leaving.
Fort Sheridan, a decommissioned military base straddling Highland Park, Highwood, and Lake Forest, became a neighborhood almost overnight when the Town of Fort Sheridan Company acquired the 138-acre site and its 94 structures from the federal government in 1997. Following an extensive environmental cleanup—there was pollution in the soil and groundwater, unexploded ordnance, and gnarly old equipment. A final count of 551 units of townhouses, condos, duplexes, and single-family homes were ready for move-in by the year 2000.
Because we all moved in together, the sense of community is profound,” says Mike, owner of a large four-bedroom house on the market. His family is downsizing within the Fort, because they can’t see a good reason to leave. His house is a combination of side-by-side duplexes. —former quartermaster residences—with a rear addition that again doubles the living space to nearly 4,000 square feet. Dating to 1895, the 10 years of vacancy between decommissioning and repopulating resulted in catastrophic flood damage. Much of the original wood rotted away; the brick facades and stone foundation were more recoverable.
A few blocks away, @properties listing agents also represent a new-to-market loft unit in the converted 1885 barracks. Two wings of townhouse-style units bracket a magnificent water tower. Sixty-four of Fort Sheridan’s buildings were designed by legendary architects Holabird & Roche, and nothing rivals these barracks.
Anyways,
Best to all,
Bob

AXPONA 2024 | World Debut of the Borresen C1 Standmount Speaker
Audio Group Denmark will be launching a brand-new loudspeaker at AXPONA 2004, the Borresen Acoustics C1.
The C1 is positioned above the recently launched Borresen X1.
Compared to the X1 the C1 has a better loudspeaker magnet system with lower inductance, an upgraded ribbon tweeter from the M series, a larger cabinet with additional carbon fibre reinforcements in the cabinet sides to make the cabinet more rigid and an improved crossover circuit. All of this sums to overall less noise and consequently improved resolution and dynamic range vs. the X1.
The expected MSRP (TBC) is US$16500 including stand.

Which "them"? Which speaker?

If I did not have the most beautiful pair of Sound Labs ever built already dialed in, I would be sorely tempted. I had Apogee Stages and then Mini Grands half a lifetime ago.
What components were used with the Piccolos?

The Piccolo was remarkable. Without question it out performed all expectations.
