Re: Chicago DIY 2011

Just a note:

I will officially be bringing (Speaker-wise):

* Ansonica
* Pecorino (new... no one knows quite what these are yet )

My car is gonna hate me. 200lbs of amplifier, plus speakers...

And as if Ryan would really EVER worry about there being "enough talk" if I'm around...

Will update tonight. There's a great variety of stuff stacking up to be shown off!!

Just stirring the pot and get some excitement going. :D


I'm glad I had the count wrong. I think I only had two projects on my count for Wolf, but he's bringing what, 10?

13 was too few. 22 projects sounds like a great number.



Oh and Chris, you don't have to bring 200# of amplifier. ;)

I need to start thinking about my music selection...

I'll personally have 4;
*Destinations
*Glucinium Amor
*Sophomores
*Trichotomy
...and a c/o-me; Mark65's 'Deullati'.

I'm not bringing the Microtonnes, just in case anyone was wondering.

Later,
Wolf

300?

The XPA-1's are about 90lbs each. Chip-amp should be there. I may leave the rest.

Really, the weight isn't more than having the car full of people, unless they all happened to be me kind of people.

Re: Chicago DIY 2011

Wolf - I'll be making some updates tonight, so I will tidy up your section on the Exhibitors page as well.

Really looking forward to hearing the Destinations -- The XO has what....like 20 elements? And this will be my first time hearing the Sophomores as well.

Re: Chicago DIY 2011

It's 16 parts, 7 of which are resistors. The Attitudes had more parts....:D

Re: Chicago DIY 2011

oh good. I was feeling like I might need to add the impedance compensation into the Ansonica to compete! But maybe not, after all. It's only a 2.5-way though... 13 components as it stands. 3 of that is resistors. Series crossover, too! Or do we count the drivers as parts?

Normally, Iowa and others count Drivers + Xovers for cost in competition. Dayton is Drivers only. It's also regular pricing and as you have them built.

"Minimalism with respect to necessity" is how I use parts. I have heard other schools of thought "compensate everything first, and then xover".

I'm sure we'll have things to talk about, Chris!

Revised Attendee/Exhibitor list

Added more LINKS, for out-of-town guests.

3 weeks away!! If you plan to attend, please post here so we can get an accurate head count.

There are a few interested members for a Friday night get-together. If we can solidify that ahead of time, that would be great. There are a couple places within walking distance of the Hyatt as well as the Hyatt Bar/Restaurant.

If anybody spots dead/broken links on the website, please hit me up. Also, additions and modifications can go thru me.

:D:D

So, how many of you are completely ready for showing? Hands please. *One, two, three, four....* Yep that's just about everyone.


Now, how many of you aren't? Ahhhhh, we see a hand from the man from Central Wisconsin.


For what it's worth guys I may not make it. Sorry.

Sorry to hear that Marty. Did you have something else come up or are you just bailing on us because your speakers aren't ready :p

Mine are ready for listening, not so much for showing (bare MDF and plywood) :o

I'm in the same boat as you. Listeners must close eyes to listen to mine. :D

George is coming up, Tom. He's it as far as I know.

Not ready - nowhere near ready. I haven't even fired 'em up yet. I've made decent progress on the cabs, but as far as them producing sound, well that's still a ways off. I'm going to keep plugging away.
