I left Springboro at about 4:30 today--us old guys need to get home earlier to get our rest than you young whipper snappers! A couple of different times I took a head count of about 28-29, but knowing both times some people were wandering around, I estimate we had about 35 or so altogether. I think there were about 15-18 pairs of speakers demonstrated and some subwoofers; there were several really good-sounding 2-ways ranging from small to moderate to large size. I didn't hear any that sounded bad. Wolf had some cute, teensy-weensy dual-reflex speakers, and Chad G. brought his just completed Olives. Chris (?), our moderator, brought his tall, 2-way pseudo arrays that sounded darned good for a total $90 in parts, and he also brought his wife, Connie, who was a pleasure to chat with. Chris was thrilled when Connie told HIM which speakers he should build next! Jim Griffin had his big arrays in his room, which were actively equalized, and he demonstrated his bi-pole ML-TLs in the main room to good effect. That's all I can remember at this point; I'm sure others will fill in the details and/or post photos. I left before Matt Olson demonstrated his honking big class A power amps or Darren/Chris B. demonstrated the actively-equalized monster towers that Darren built. Thanks to Darren and PE for hosting.
