I'm down of course

Let me know if you need a hand with things Rick. Labor Day weekend would be the only tricky time for me.

I ruled out Labor Day weekend since I know everyone in your area goes to the lake that weekend.

i'd like to hear them in person. BTW, i know you guys aren't from around here, but saying racine is a chicago area event is the same as having a new york city area event in philadelphia

I just registered so I can participate in that listening session. Is this an event I have to register for, or just show up?

treemed67 · « **Reply #12 on:** 15 Aug 2011, 04:47 am »

And the big question, is the new Soundscape series going to be presented?

I think you have the wrong company but you certainly are welcome to attend.

All you need to do is show up and bring some music if you like.

That is a blurry image of Rick's new creations (RAAL Illuminator mid, & the special woofers from the MA-1). They were very nice. I was most taken with the implementation of the illuminator mid. Accurate, open, and airy, a true window into the music. Taut bass, good extension, no hint of boxiness whatsoever. They can also be driven hard without distortion. I preferred them to a pair of Accuton MTM speakers that were played later. The accuton rig was good however. My Veritas were pushed harder than I had heard them before (apartment life), and did a good job too. The 7" Illuminator can really be pushed quite hard without distortion. Thanks goes to Morakot for providing us a fantastic lunch. The food was fantastic. If you are ever in Racine, WI look up Sticky Rice on Main St. Well back to the grindstone, I wish I had a bit more time here. Also this new speaker is the real deal, very nice. I think Rick has a good thing going with this mid.
