Okay, I did speak too soon after all.
Cabinets for the big open baffle line sources were ready, and then not ready, then ready... but a long way from here and time was running out. I could have made arrangements to get them here but it would have just left me with a couple of days to measure, test, design networks, build out networks, and fully assemble the speakers. It was possible but left no time for any unforeseen issues. It would also mean that they would not be burned in and in top form. That is not how I want to go to a show.
Plus, as big of an attention getter as that would have been, this new company was not ready to be producing these on a production level yet. It could be 6 months out from product delivery time. So while it would have been a lot of fun and a serious show stopper, rushing it in was not the most wise decision.
So two steps back and what else can we do in that big room?
Well AV123 is also a partner in that big room, and this year they will finally have everything in place to really start kicking out the LS-9's. So I think the most prudent idea is to show something that is about to be in production in a big way.
Plus, a new pair of Rosewood finished LS-9's will be a real blast in that big room.
So I thing I'll bring the big blue, custom Dodd Audio mono-blocks up so we can have big power on them and really have a lot of fun.
I will have something smaller and open baffle in my usual room at the Marriott though and I might have a little surprise too. So come by and see.
