Really enjoyed yesterday's festivities; had been meaning for some time to get to one of these and I'm sure glad I didn't wait for another year to go by. Thanks to Frank for hosting us! Some highlights were listening to Frank's project in the shop, Brian's project upstairs and spending time talking to Don about redoing the crossovers on my Kef 103.2's.
Met so many passionate folks sharing their current projects and passion for audio and music.
I believe those were sold. If I remember the story correctly, they were built in the 90's as a wedding gift. Please correct me if I'm wrong.What is the members name that was selling those Karlson speakers. I need those in my living room, NOW!

Thanks, everyone. This was a good one with many highlights. A partial list:
- Brian's prototype speakers. They sound really nice and he is justifiably proud of them.
- Frank's newest Altec cabinets. As a new entrant to woodworking with a pair each of Altec and Tannoy duplexes that would benefit from bigger cabinets, Frank's work is an inspiration.
- Seeing Don and Paul having nice conversations with so many people there. Why are the coolest guys the ones in the wheelchairs? Maybe I should get one. Naw, wouldn't work for me, would it?
I know I'm missing a lot since I spent a chunk of my time there with Tom B who worked on my Pioneer CT-F9191 and wound up keeping it. Thanks, Tom! I also missed seeing the nice restoration that Jim did on the Sansui 8080DB I sold him as a fixer upper not long ago. The man has talent!
This is a great bunch of people. See you again soon. --Dan
PS - I was hoping to see Mark Hardy there. He is not active on AK these days and I haven't been able to find him in NH. If anyone has contact info for him, please PM me. Thanks.[/QUOTE
It's the chemistry! We have a great group of guys, all like minded audioholics! There were several ladies there who were audio heads as well!I have to say that you guys over there always seem to have the very best get togethers of just about any group on AK.
I am envious. To see all the pics and look at all that's set up for listening and for sale is awesome. I hope to someday attend one of these and meet some of you face to face. Probably learn a lot as well.
My bro. lives in Woosta' so I will def. have to plan my next trip around a 'Fest. (But then how do I get all my new-to-me gear home????)
Thanks for the pics and stories. Looks like a great time was had by all. As usual.
