Recently I sold my demo Planetarium Beta system (which uses the Swarm 2.0) to Mike Currie.  Here are some threads that he initiated, with no prompting from me:

One of the owners who posted in the second Audio Asylum thread posted this picture, but he may not own the latest version of the Swarm:

Hi Zybar,

I don't have any pictures beyond what was posted in my other thread, sorry.

Maybe Mike will post some of the system in its new home.

Hi Guys,

Mike Currie here. I've been enjoying the Planetarium Betas for a couple of weeks now. Pictures will certainly follow.

I'm gonna be Mike's guest this coming weekend to listen to tunes via his system.  Got some picked out already.  One, Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances from Athena Records (a remaster of the old Vox release), has up close and personal sound with stupendous orchestral power.   Some soft and delicate stuff, too, care of an onsite recording of a male and female chorus by Mark Levinson (MLAR One).     

Not to worry, I'm bringin a rad album or two, also.  How about Patti Smith's Easter?  Can't wait to hear the electric bass on We Three.

I like the idea of the SWARM 2.0.  Curious, I have been reading and reading but still have a quick question:

Does the SWARM 2.0 have a central "brain&amp" that auto-eq's each sub independently based on their unique locations?  To clarify, what makes SWARM 2.0 different than 4 subs wired in a master/slave?

Thank you for any help!

Well, I can't offer any impressions.  I had to flake.  Mike's so busy it may be May before I will get another invitation.  Missed seein my crime partner from La Grange, too.  Travis built his own listening BUILDING.  He has Innersound stats and fine ancilaries all around.  He uses Duke's Swarm, too, but added them since my visit.

Sure, happily, when and if Mike will entertain another of my appointments.  Sure thing.
