Catching some zzzzzz's in Murfreesboro and taking a moment to recap.
As always, Ben arranged a great show. The room at the Hyatt place is pretty good for a hotel meeting room with ample space and decent sound. Now, down to it:
Best in Show - to my ears - Seth's version of Jed K's Minuet M72. The birdseye maple was perfectly executed and stunning. It is a 2.5 way with W18NX Nextel woofers and the HDS tweeter. Sounds was excellent.
Sounds Better Than It Has Any Business Sounding - Tie between Dan N.'s wild crazy omni with umpteen drivers costing $160 total. Tied with Rory's Tangband W6-789e-DQ25 two way. They just sounded real fine for a modest two way and this may be the first time I like a DQ25 implementation.
Biggest disappointment was the absence of some of the usual suspects that could not attend this year.
All in all, a great show. Thanks to sponsors for the great door prizes. I scored some great Airborne woofers as a prize and got a great bargain on some Phil Bamberg surplus items. Left the event with many more drivers than I arrived with.
What a hobby!
