DIY NY 2010 Wrap-up!
I'm tired. What a beautiful day for some audio! Sunny, cool, and a lot of good speakers and great company!
First and foremost, thanks to Roman for opening up his shop for a place to gather. His act of kindness allowed us to put faces to names, and think-tank our collective knowledge for the greater good of the hobby.
While the pack all ran fairly tight and performed well, to me it was Face's (Mike's) seas/scan speakers and the lil' red pipes that stuck out the most.
The Seas/scan setup was all exotic drivers, and the performance was as to be expected. Extremely true to the recordings and sophisticated, refined and impressive. What is more impressive is the good integration, voicing, and presentation set fourth by the associated design work.
The red pipes were the shocker of the day for me. They were in the under $200 category. They were extremely natural sounding with "wall to wall" and "floor to ceiling" imaging, and you could listen to them all day... There is not much more you can ask from a speaker in this price range.
Below is a link to some pictures. I did not do a good job coordinating names to speakers. After a total of 7.5 hours on the road, and manning the CD player, my noted/pictures were a jumbled mess vs. my intentions. Oh well!
I look forward to everyone else's pictures and input! Thanks again and it was very nice meeting everyone! :D:D:D
p.s. There some speakers I may have not mentioned or missed, I apologize ahead of time, I am sure they will show up in the collective! There were many cameras there.
