The bad thing is that I'm starting to look like an AARP member. I remember when I was in my 20s and I used to crack on some of the older guys I worked with. I remember telling them that you knew you were getting older when hair started growing out of your ears. That's not so funny anymore. I swear that overnight when you get older you can wake up and look in the mirror and you can have grown antennas in your eyebrows and hairs sticking out of your nostrils in addition to having to mow your ears.

I agree with the AARP comment, I saw the YouTube video and some one posted almost the exact same comment. Where in the hell are the pictures, at Axpona they where coming in even before the show started! Pictures people!

mep: I can agree with you, but that's what those ear and nose trimmers are for! LOL

From what I saw today there are more "young" people (under 40 LOL) and more women than at any show I have attended.

i posted my thoughts on the other site since i have several prior writeups (hope linking is ok, mods)

T.H.E. Show at Newport Review

i was very, very impressed with the quality of the sound this year.

 

[Mike]

Keith - was this your favorite?

Great products from a great guy (Jonathan).

 

[KeithR]

no- same manufacturer, but much higher end system in a room 3x the size- crossover towers (Exacts they are called) along with NVS TT, Durand arm, and MC Anna cart and full Dart separates. (h/t s hoffman forum)

 

[Mike]

WOW! Wow! WOW!

 

[Mike]

Ribbon tweeters?

Any idea what MSRP is on the speakers? External crossovers are brilliant.

 

[KeithR]

Yes, AMT tweets i believe. asiufy can update the group more since they are an Evo dealer- think its 50k + 20k for each xover tower, so 90k.

 

[a.wayne]

Those towers are not subs ....?

Damn you are along way from DR , Peter , love the shirt ........... :thumbsup:

 

[rbbert]

Those towers are the Exact "filters", which I assume includes crossover. IMHO transformed an OK speaker into a great speaker, but as I said that's JMO.
