Pretty confusing with this show and next weeks show being cancelled. I had no clue a show was being held in S. Cal.this weekend. I am pretty well informed on the audio goings around this area.
THE SHOW 2018
I checked in to the Marriott Irvine Spectrum last night. The hotel is really nice and upscale. Three floors of exhibitors. The demo rooms I peaked into yesterday during set up are sounding very good. I have never heard the JBL 6700 big horns sound better- Melton audio out of Hong Kong using their own tube amplifiers and power cords. Extremely nice exhibitors.
A special treat for my ears was watching Scott Walker and Synergistic Research Ted Denney acoustically treat two rooms. This is the perfect chance to hear Elac speakers in one room next to Magico speakers in the next room. This is a great way to easily compare two different excellent speaker brands that have been optimized for a normal size listening room. Very educational and fun to back and forth between the two rooms.
MBL and those fabulous tape machines from United Audio are in one of the big convention rooms. A system that only the 1% can afford, but absolutely no snobbery here. Only a true love of music and open arms to attendees at this room.
I had mixed feelings about the "car show" but when a saw the pristine 1963 Corvette Sting Ray -Wow!
It immediately brought back memories of my 1965 Corvette Sting Ray I drove in the 1980's. But the Corvette at THE SHOW is in the better than factory new condition. A special treat for me.
I think THE SHOW is a great way to spend the day. Have fun, relax, hear some great systems. Meet some talented and interesting people.
