I'm off to Orlando this morning for the start of the 2008 Audioholics SOTU Show. Today is setup for vendors and staff. Should be a very long and busy day.

I look forward to seeing everybody over the next few days.

It was a very busy day today with getting everything setup. There is still a few manufacturers getting their rooms ready late tonight.

Don't worry. There will be plenty of pictures, video interviews and even podcasts.

Well, the big event is over

There was tons of stuff to see and audition. Many of the items were either future releases or cutting edge development items. I'll try and finish uploading my pictures over the weekend for everybody. We were so busy over the past couple days and the internet access in the hotel was horrible (like no WiFi and little bandwidth).

But I do want to take this time to say THANK YOU to our gracious hosts...

Bertica and Gene DellaSala

Thank you for letting us be a part of this great event!

Y&D

SVS speakers used in the Audyssey demo room.

SVS sent four (4) PB-13's to Orlando. Thank goodness that Audyssey didn't use them all. The room wasn't that big and I'm quite sure Disney didn't want the hotel rumbling.

Thanks for the pictures, Dave!

I hope that you all are able to put up some pics of the people from the forum that were able to make it down there. Of course, it would only be for the people who want their pictures put up here. It's great to have faces to go with the names.

Thanks to everyone that made this event possible. I really liked the one to one interaction provided from the different vendors. This made sure that you could ask questions without fear of being viewed as an audiophyte. Dinner was very good and my wife and I enjoyed it.
