The show went very well and our business is growing very fast. We just finished the 1st quarter of 2007 and already have done 65% of our total sales for 2006!

I received many good comments about the sound and craftsmanship of the Peridot. Several listeners also thought the MF7 ($495/pr.) was the best bargain at the show. Paul Kittinger came along with me and brought the TuLines transmission line speaker that he and I designed. This will be offered as a kit for around $600 (minus cabinets). We didn't play the Tulines very much since most of the requests were for the Peridot; however, the response was very favorable.

Special thanks go to David Michael Audio, Madisound, and GIK for helping make the show a great success.

Check out my AK Fest gallery for pictures:  http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=gallery;area=browse;album=1018

I attended the show and can say that the Selah Peridot speakers were outstanding in both looks and sound.  But I really liked the Selah MF7 for $495 a pair ... great value!

Madisound also had a kit pair of speakers based on the same SEAS coax driver for $450, but I don't think it sounded quite as good as the MF7.  The cabinets look almost identical in design, but I guess the real difference is in the crossover designs.  It was easy to compare since both rooms were using the same tube amp.

Just want to chime in and say I enjoyed the Selah room very much.  Rick, that was you who played the new Happy The Man album for me, wasn't it?

Rick,
Sounds like you have two more winners with the new designs.  What drivers are used in the MF7 and TuLine speakers?  Cabinet size?  Thanks.

Regards,
Jeff
