It's almost time I thought there would be more of a buzz around here about it. Has it been around now to where it is routine or expected so not so much pre-show excitement?

Ha! We are busy working! What buzz did you want? The social media posts have been fast and furious with all the vendors coming. Ticket sales are way up over last year.
I will have 4 rooms, God help me. So much for only having 1.
I will be showing Clarisys Aria (the pair that’s now at TAS getting reviewed will be picked up early next month and brought to the Florida Show). Four giant Pass monos and the Pass XS Pre2 with MSB and Pink Faun.
I will be debuting Pylon speakers in the big suite, along with Perreaux and Block and Pink Faun.
The fourth room will have Tobian, Pink Faun and Canor (from another dealer).

That's what I'm talking about, LOL
This is the first I saw you have Perreaux and you also picked up Klipsch, hmmmm Just Heritage or everything?
Great question. My marketing gals told me the number one search term driving people to our website is Klipsch. Couldn’t believe it. So, we add Klipsch!
Want some La Scala’s?
We are super excited about Perreaux. I owned their stuff back in the 80’s and it was world class. The company has been awesome to work with and the top guys are coming to the Florida show for support. I personally feel it will be a superior alternative to Luxman/Accuphase/Hegel, etc for consumers.

They look to have a very approachable product line.
Can’t wait to see/hear the Aria. Last year the Atrium set a new benchmark for me but is impossible to consider for its sheer size and price. But the Aria is (somewhat) attainable for mere mortals. The Clarisys/Pass Labs/MSB/Pink Faun combination should be exceptional. See you there, Mike.
It’s my favorite Clarisys.

“Would that be cash or credit?”Great question. My marketing gals told me the number one search term driving people to our website is Klipsch. Couldn’t believe it. So, we add Klipsch!

Not for me, but for “Them”.
Give the people what they want, if they wanna give you money.
Locked and loaded! Pickup is Monday. It’s two weeks of prep and packing, 1 day transport, 3 days of setup, 3 days of show, 1 day backup, 1 day to get our stuff back, another 3-4 days of putting all the stuff back and setting the rooms back up.
Yeah, basically a month.

Can someone coach me up on attending? I have a few things I want to “accomplish”.
#1 Make a new friend
#2 Go say hello to Kent English at Pass and thank him for his advice and always being so awesome and helpful
#3 Check out a special thing that is in Kent’s room at the show… probably gonna cost me some money.
#4 Make another new friend
#5 Look at top shelf parts all in one place and compare them. For instance, for my Line Array speaker build I need some high quality binding posts / thinking thru how the external crossovers will be setup.
#5 Make another new friend. Hopefully I will find Elliot @BendingWave and thank him for being genuine and saying what he really thinks.
#6 Say hi to @Mike and hear that system - but also not distract him from people who may be there to buy a pair.
Oh… and I would like to Have Fun.
Any particular day that is better for not taking time away from an exhibitor trying to “take care of business”, crowds, etc?
I am not expecting to be able to really “hear it”… but if there is a day where there is a bit more opportunity to have a helpful conversation with someone about any particular thingie, that would be cool.
I assume there will be quite a few vendors with tables setup and I’m thinking that’s where I will find various “stuff / parts”, binding posts, etc. Are any vendors able to sell on site?
Oh… I almost forgot… who wants my XA30.8 amp that I can bring to the show?
Thanks for any tips for day(s) / “How to do it”. I’m very sensitive to taking time away from vendors, and I’d also like to do the show like I’ve been to it once, already.
Thank you.
