We'll be at FSI EXPO this March!

Vinnie R. · « **on:** 19 Jan 2006, 06:47 pm »

All,

Red Wine Audio will be attending this year's FSI Expo (Montreal Home Entertainment and Electronics Show). See: www.fsiexpo.com
We'll be in Room 926 with Omega Loudspeakers, Hudson Audio, and Sylan Stands (the usual suspects!

)

Last year was a great show and this year is supposed to be an even bigger and better show! Hope lots of you can make it and will stop by and give a listen.

Does anyone already know if they are going? Gotta love Montreal in the spring!

I'm gonna try to make it this year. March is still not quite spring, so it'll probably be pretty damn cold up there.

Have a good time...and if you get a chance, drop into the Peel Pub on Peel and St. Catherine (two blocks away)...its a fun place.....

Yes it is... I was there with my brother once and the pre-clubbing crowd started doing some kind of body shots that turned into a bunch of girls laying on the tables (topless) and letting the guys who were with them lick whipped cream off them. Sadly I wasn't involved, but it was an, um, interesting thing to see in a restaurant.

Gary's post swayed me away from my original intentions...

I wanted to wish you a wonderfully successful outing, Vinnie...

You are a rare gem in the audio world...

Scrupulously honest, helpful, impeccable, innovative, accessable...the list
of wonderful characteristics could go on and on...

It is wonderful that you are there...and I am excited by the possibility of a new
amp on the not-to-distant horizon...nice to think about!!!!!!!!!!!

Warm Regards -Richard-

....Must be those visions of whipped cream and topless women right Richard.....

Ah yes, Chris...I admit that I am not immune from the fun and thrills of Eros...

At least on the level of fantasy...

Reality? Well...that is a subject that could take an encyclopedia sized book
to explore...

Warm Regards -Richard-

Hi Richard,

Gary's post almost swayed me away from exhibiting in the hotel in favor of staying at the Peel Pub!

Thanks for all your kind words....much appreciated!

I hope to have the new Clari-T Signature-30 ready for the Montreal show..

Hey Guys,

The Montreal show is drawing near. Are there any other AC members (or lurkers) planning on attending?

Last year was a nice show and Montreal is a beautiful city. Come for the weekend, bring your significant other, you'll love it! Hopefully the weather will be nice and the smell of spring will be in the air....

Hope many can make it!

All,

Just a reminder....

I'll be leaving for Montreal tomorrow morning. I'll be back to work at RWA next Tuesday, 3/28.

While I am away, my ability to check emails and participate on my forum will be limited.

To all of you who have placed orders, I really appreciate your patience and the work will resume when I return.

Thanks!

"Stop in at the Peel Pub"

The first line in a Film Noir Movie...the opening scene fades to the interior of the
Peel Pub...girls are lying topless on tables while guys are licking whipped
cream from their...

Hummmmmm...we may lose Vinnie in Montreal!

Femme Fatale's always caste shadows on their men in the Film Noir Movies...
Whipped cream and shadows...lust and audio...

I need to turn my imagination off...

Have fun Vinnie!!!!!!

Hi Chris,

Read Gary's post on page 1...then take a cool shower!

Bon jour,

I plan to post some info and pics tonight from the Montreal show.

Looks like there are some new topics here on the RWA circle and I will try to get to those as well, and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw how many emails came in!

Off to the show room....

Un grand merci pour your patience,

Vinnie

Anybody have any feedback from the show? Thoughts on the new amp? I got back from a week in San Francisco last Thursday, I was half sick and generally worn out and decided I couldn't make the drive up to Montreal.

All,

I just returned from Montreal and I apologize for the delay in posting about the show.

The show was fantastic!

Here is a shot of our room:

Show in this photo are:

-- Omega Super Hemps (shown on top of Sylan stands), and XRS speakers (one pair with the newest 4.5" hemp driver prototype, the other with the Fostex driver).

-- Red Wine Audio Signature 30 prototype (bottom of shelf)

-- Olive Symphony music server (middle of shelf)

-- An amazing analog rig consisting of a Scheu turntable, Morch tonearm, Allerts cartridge, battery powered motor and Lehmann Black Cube phono stage (top shelf)

-- All cabling was by Audipath

-- Acoustic treatment (shown in the corner) loaned to us by Goo Systems

Here is a closer view of the new Signature 30 with iMod on top:

The room itself wasn't all that big and had the usual acoutic issues found in these small hotel rooms. After playing with different placements, we decided that going with the "kitty-corner" placement worked the best with dealing with standing waves, echoes, etc.

The turnout was HUGE!

We found our small room flooded with attendees most of the time. I wish there were more audiocircle members at the show, but it was great to meet many new people.

I'll post more tomorrow.... must get sleep
