Is Soundfield a partner here? I only learned about their company today from a friend who lives in the Tampa area. His feeling is their room was quite good. Comments?
Hmm, no, he doesn't have a circle, just a frequent poster here, "friend of the show" as it were. He demo'd 2 fully active speakers, including his flagship, which sounded very good. They are very versatile, permitting use in just about any room configuration, totally adjustable through the XO on the fly (e.g. wide/narrow pattern).

Hah, sorry Tom, I typo'd you as "Bob" S  :duh:
I am 1/4 partner of Flexpo, as well as a Suncoast Audiophile Society member. And those aren't my flagship, the much large 1812s are. Figured the 1212s at show were "big enough" for that room.
Yes, both speakers were fully active, user configurable (via remote) variable directivity, cardioid bass designs. Which meant zero percent of attendees had any idea what I was talking about.  :)
Thanks again for stopping by, always good to see you gents. Maybe next time crazy man Jerry has a meet at his new audio extravaganza warehouse, you and Jason can pop in again. Overall, we're pleased with what unfolded, given the circumstances. Attendance was solid. Good feedback from exhibitors too. Just wish it wasn't 85! AC got a workout.

cheers,

AJ

AJ,

Is there any chance you'll present at the Pacific Audio Fest in Seattle at the end of July? I haven't heard your speakers since Axpona '14.

Regards,

The Mr. Esseguie  :wink:

I thought it was abbreviated as FLAX? Pretty much every audio show has the Audio letter in the name, like NYAS, CAF, RMAF (RIP). Without the A it could be mistaken for the polymers conference, or the digital company, or the employee finding initiative for flexible work organizations.

That should be a great show, but unfortunately, being family caretaker I am currently travel restricted. Sorry. Maybe sometime down the road.

Those are some nice components in that room.  It looks like a VAC Statement Phono pre under the turntable and a VAC Statement line stage below the reel-to-reel.  The 452iQ’s look and must sound fantastic too.

They were using the DS Audio Grand Master phono equalizer with their matching optical cartridge. The VAC phono and Grado cart were not playing well together. Half a mil+ in there.

My highlight of the show was sitting in your room while a very well known speaker "designer" is asking you how you integrate the woofers and didn't understand at all when you started explaining that you measure it using a microphone.  Absolutely, completely. 100% clueless.  It was EPIC!  TomS and I laughed about it for a while.   :lol:

Room 1015 again (like last year). A new active mid size floorstander (somewhere between last years small/big models) with variable directivity/cardioid bass and a passive planar OB with active cardioid bass.
Neither on website, yet.
Going?

cheers,

AJ

Correction, I'll be in Room 1215 this year. Hopefully everyone starts on 14th FL via elevator, then walks down stairs at end of each floor.
I will also have some passive speakers in the Orchard Audio room 506.
See ya all soon.

AJ,

I’d like to hear your newest speakers, but I’m just a wee bit too far away to make it. Any chance you’ll show at the PAF in SeaTac this summer?

Cool, if you stop by make sure to say Kray from AC. I've met many a member over the years.
