The mid-Atlantic area is sorely lacking a regional audio show. Should we have one? Until the new Capital fest in DC, there hasn't been much from Atlanta to DC.
http://www.capitalaudiofest.com/I just attended LSAF in Dallas and it's a great model for a regional show. Small enough that you actually get to listen to stuff, but big enough to be exciting and have variety. No reason we could not do the same here in the Southeast.
In fact I've spoken with Wayne Parham of Pi Speakers and LSAF and Rick of Selah Audio and both think it's a good idea. What do y'all think?
I'd put it in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area. Lot's of Hi-Fi interest there and it's easy to get to by road or air for those coming from out of town. It would be very much along the lines of LSAF. Some manufactures, some DIY, some BYOS (Bring Your Own System. The idea would be to keep it simple and inexpensive so that everyone can afford to play.
I'll go hotel scouting soon, there are plenty to choose from near RDU airport. One of the most important factors will be - When? What should be the date? It needs to not conflict with busy times in the Area (Duke/Carolina games) or with other audio festivals.
All ideas and thoughts are welcome!
