Five weeks away. Anyone going this year?

I'm hoping to go fri to sat if my schedule allows.
Usually a great show, not RMAF or Munich, but it's in Montreal, a fantastic city.
 
MrAcoustat will be there again this year for all the weekend just like the last 26 years, i will be hard to miss with my special Acoustat t-shirts again this year.:)

Salon Son & Image

PS: Please take note that the exhibitors & brands are in the visitors column.
 
Haven't been before - I think I am going to go - Looks like a great show.

Hi Bob, i'm looking for a big Jeff Rowland amplifier( no class D ) stuff for me thank you, will try to work something out with my friend Angie from American Sound Of Canada, will let you know if things work out.:)
 
Cool, which JR amp are you looking for? I am enjoying my model 5 amp and consummate preamp/phono.
 
Montreal show 2015 is about a month away.
Anyone heading there this year? I had a quick look at the brands / exhibitor list a few days ago and was underwhelmed. Maybe too early to get a true read on who is actually showing. Seems a bit odd that coup de foudre and filtronique are not listed considering they normally have big setups in multiple rooms.
 
I went the year before last and was very underwhelmed, so I don't plan to go this year. But I'm fairly close so I may change my mind.
 
I was told Filtronique would not participate directly at the show but would have a shuttle to their store instead. I will probably pass by on Friday afternoon to do my rounds and some record shopping. Have to admit it has become a second rate show in recent years, I suspect that the advent of TAVES didn't help.
 
No Montreal audio show this year.

See message from Chester Group below.

Chester Group to defer it’s Salon Son & Image / Montreal Audio Show

It is with considerable sadness that we have to inform you that it has been decided to defer this year’s Salon Son & Image Show/Montreal Audio Show due to take place at the Bonaventure Hotel on the 18 – 20 March 2016.

The deciding factor has been market support, with a substantial drop in companies wanting to support this long established event.

All shows of this type rely 100% on commercial support from Exhibitors, and as much as we would enjoy doing so, we cannot force companies to support a show, they have to make their own commercial decisions.

We do understand that this will come as a considerable disappointment and we know that the previous organisers also did all they could to keep the show going, but the decline in Exhibitor support had been gradual but erosive.

Our overriding concern will always be to ensure great value for money for our Exhibitors and just as importantly our show visitors, and morally we simply could not continue.

However, and to clarify, this show is not being cancelled, and will now benefit from a complete overhaul to reflect market changes.

Dates, Venue, Location, Content etc. are all being worked on right now, and no time will be lost to ensure the shows continuation and revitalisation.

We will deal with all current ticket holders this week to arrange refunds, please allow a few days for us to implement this.

I was about to post the above when I saw tunes beat me to it. Interesting and potentially telling about a slowing macro backdrop in North America (certainly Canadian economy has taken a huge hit given the roll back in commodities over the last 12 months and the drop in purchasing power of the Canadian consumer given the drop in Candian $). But still will be interesting to see if they resurrect it (as they mention in note above) at a later date in 2016.
