AKFest, who's going?

I was just wondering who was planning to attend AK Fest at the end of the month? I haven't seen much buzz about it here. I also wanted to let people know that I'll be there with 2 rooms. One room will be shared with Bill O'Connell and Morningstar Audio (Eastern Electric), and will be using my Cirrus speakers. The other room will have BMC electronics, the S1 amp and DAC1, and will be using my Breeze and Arcus speakers. I'll also have a display of my upcoming Nimbus floorstander, and possibly a demo of the new Cirrus White - with the high efficiency Accuton midwoofer.

I hope to meet some new people there, and put faces with some screen names.

I will be there as well and will be sure to introduce myself to you. I've been to the last 2 AK Fest shows and they were a lot of fun.

Roscoe, you are correct. All of the Vapor speakers were terrific. I thought the Arcus was amazing. I never thought I would hear a stand mounted 2 way that could be that refined yet play with big speaker ease/ lack of compression. They were stunning and the best speakers at the show, IMO.

The veneer on th Cirrus was beautiful. I can't imagine not being pleased with it. I think the size of the room was ok, but you are correct in that it could have used tratment of the first reflection points at a minimum. Ryan had the first reflection points treated in the room with Breeze, Aurora, and Arcus. It made a significant difference, mainly due to the high frquency capabilities of each of the mentioned speakers.

One other thing working against the Cirrus at AK Fest. I was in the room first thing Saturday morning and heard that those speakers were brand new, with maybe 2 or 3 hours on them according to the person running the room. They were his personal pair and he had just taken delivery of them.
