Yes, I am getting the ones pictured from the event.

My true love (sonically) was the SS; but I'm really messing with my current budget getting the ST... and it's one of the prettiest woods I've seen used.

It looks like cherry with a medium red dye color. Yes? Jim always seems to do an excellent job with his veneers. I really like the hardwood frame around the front baffle.

Apparently you spent a bunch of hours listening to them at the GTG, so I don't have to tell you that you're gonna love how they sound .

I've said before that my preference was the Soundscapes.. I think a good part of that assessment was due to that outrageous book matched veneer job!
The van Alstine guy told me it took 3 days for the Salk finish guy to apply and finish it, hence the 4k upgrade IIRC.
Bottom line-add a little for a killer finish, you'll be glad you did every time you look at and listen to them.
Cheers, Mac

In any event, we were very pleased with the turnout and as a result, next year we plan on expanding this event with:

• two day showing
• nicer hotel and preferably beach location (ie. Siesta Key, or Lido Beach)
• more demo rooms (goal 8-10)
• educational seminars
• raffle with lots of home theater gear

I figured you would shoot for Raymond James Stadium for the next event.

(Clint, you win the bet. I'll send you the $20)

Now, we don't want to get too big

These are the three options and people are welcome to give their input, Although, the final say its ours.

Lido Beach Resort

1. October 5t-6th
2. November 2nd-3rd

Thanks everyone for your feedback, greatly appreciated.

I think Nov starts to push close to Thanksgiving. As such: I vote for October.

I second October

Keep in mind that October 5th-6th is the weekend before RMAF, which would only give the vendors about a 2 day turnaround. (those that drive their gear to Denver like Hugh, Jim Salk, and Dr. Hsu might even be heading out on Tuesday) It would be impossible for Hugh and I to do both, and I bet many others would have the same problem.

I vote for November 2nd-3rd, which is almost 3 weeks separated from both RMAF and Thanksgiving.

Agreed. It has to be either early November or August. August is very hot in Florida, November is better.

Yes, that does present a problem with shows getting so close together. If we don't have the vendors, no show

Thanks to all for your feedback. We'll continue to check on them
