The show was really great last year.  The first year was OK.  Venue was not the greatest (for sound).  I was amazed last year how much it grew in one year.

Mapleshade has not been there for the first two years, although they did contribute to the give aways (of free CD bundles) last year.

Hi Phil, then whose room was I standing in taking this pic? I thought 'twas Mapleshade... :oops:

That's the Mapleshade room.  I talked to Pierre there for some time, so I'm quite sure of this.  The speakers were not his (Solo?), everything else was.

However Phil is spot on with all of his other impressions, it was a great show.  The venue was nice, but I can see how the acoustics were problematic for many exhibitors.  Spacious rooms, high ceilings, but it just didn't seem to work for many, perhaps because it was new to them and they had limited time to set up, as usual.  The medium sized rooms like AJ had seemed to have the best results overall.  The small rooms were a mess for obvious reasons, but surprisingly the large conference rooms also had their problems.

Was in the Sonist room and did not realize it was Mapleshade in there with them.

  AJ right here. Just been a bit tied up getting everything together for the show.
We are proud to announce that all cabling except power cords will be supplied by JPS Labs. We will feature the Aluminata line.
  We are also proud to announce the debut of the Lenehan Audio AMG Topper at the show. A speaker cabinet resonance defeating and cancelling device which one places atop their speaker. The result is more dimension and a fuller sound. Quite an amazing device. 

The Soundfield Monitors will be driven by Arion HS 500 hybrid class "D" amps.
