The Verita, Aureality, and some subwoofers. Maybe a new floorstanding design as well.

I'm going to try to make it.  I'd really like to get my ears on your Verita's.

Greetings from Rockville!

The show has been very good - nice venue and many positive comments.  :thumb:
I'm sharing a demo room with a vintage audio dealer and tomorrow we'll be inserting a mystery tube amp into the system.

Sounds like fun.  I've been an avid collector of vintage audio for about 20 years so would love to hear some details.

Pictures from the show...

Thanks for the pictures, I love to be there unfortunately I live too far away, down south in Australia. Hope I can be there one day e.g. Rocky Mountain Hi-Fi show. If I can attend  1-2 shows per year which one should I pick,  this one? If not which one?

Hope you sold many systems during the show, cheers.

Rick, very nice setup.

I see a pair of the reproduction Grommes 260's.  Did you use those at all with your setup?

The RMAF in Denver would be a good one to start with since it's a fairly large show. The DC show is smaller but the venue is more inviting than a hotel and most of the rooms closer to what a normal home listening room might be. I would also consider the Axpona show in Atlanta next April - we'll have a room there along with Moon Audio.

Unfortunately we never had a chance to set them up. We were going to do that on Sunday; however, the swap meet was that morning and Joe had taken most of the vintage equipment downstairs for that.

Finally an audio show that's a reasonable drive for me! I'll have to try and catch this one.

One comment from someone visiting our room left me  :scratch:

A sales guy told him that they were buying 40% of the capacity of a driver manufacturer that we also use. Not sure about his math since we have purchased significantly more drivers than anyone else. Sadly some people will say anything to impress and make a sale.  :nono:
