    T.H.E. SHOW Newport

    In progress 5/30-6/3.

    Comments and pictures would be appreciated. I could not make it this year due to scheduling conflicts and illness.

    Interesting. Multiple per room. I heard only about 20 rooms or so?

    No crowds at the food trucks. Sharp contrast to T.H.E. Show 2016 which was the last show before the split into two shows, T.H.E. Show and LAAS. T.H.E. Show 2016 was huge and possibly rivaled RMAF and Axpona.

    Exhibitors are misleading as that includes the marketplace, etc. It was around 25, real rooms. Will hopefully be much larger next year as there are additional floors that can be used. But on 30 days notice, this was the best they could do.

    The one thing I'll say is rooms I'd normally skip, I actually spent some time in. Ocean Way Audio was a nice surprise. But there were only 2 huge systems - YG/Dagostino and MBL.

    Thank you Keith. I hope T.H.E. Show can recapture its former glory. I think the 2016 Show had about 150 exhibit rooms plus marketplace and headphones. The canceled LAAS Show had many more than 25 rooms. Hopefully manufacturers have reserved a June spot in their schedules for next year.

    All depends on LAOCAS support imo. Otherwise, it dies.
