Thanks guys...
YUP, didn't know what to expect, and wayyyy too much on the table to really go out and spend realistically over 10 days for yet another show (and they end up, over the decades, 80 + ???) and didn't know what to expect, BUT:::
THE NB show was nothing short of SPECTACULAR !!!!!!
The sound we got was freaking unbelievable, and yes, it did take me in excess of 5 hours to do the final setup well into Friday, but we did it...and couldn't have it done like this without GIK......People were much more patient, curious, and knowledgeable than, let's say Denver, and the business side from the show is still exploding...all good...
What still pisses me off too many times is that a lot of people really don't get it as to what we achieve especially for the cost...jaded, jaded, jaded...and then, many don't believe us, hehehehe.
Anyway, I am finishing up a much more ridiculous bang for the buck system for the Capital Audiofest...think a little over 2 K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People will have to notice then.. I will make them notice, everybody, hehehehe......I'll make some more announcements later, and will essentially call this a one-finger-salute to the industry...back to OC, it was also a lot of fun, as the show still managed to be somewhat intimate, which you can't get from the RMAF anymore, for example.
There were a few very cool things...first, we had ARC / Wilson right across the room, and man oh man, we kicked their asses from here to eternity....as the sound traveled across the hall, there were many times when listeners came from their room into ours, and needless to say, we played the same exact music (when we had it, which was quite a bit) so that these guys had an immediate A/B comparo....did I mention that we kicked their asses...bad ????
Then there was an unbelievable moment, even for me....J. Peter Moncrieff (yes, THAT JPM) came into the room and listened...I haven't talked to him in over 15 years, and he hadn't followed me that closely over the years, so, other than the amps, the rest was new to him...anyway, he listened for over 20 minutes, shaking his head wildly...came back 3 more times, and the last time he came in, he simply interrupted the listening session that I had...I turned off the music, and in front of a medium sized group of about 8 guys he said this: " I'm doing this for decades, but Klaus what the hell did you do?? This is the single best / musical system that I have ever heard at any show, and one of the best that I have ever heard in my life...and for this price ??? I don't know what to say " ......
How cool is that ???
Late,
Klaus
