Do we have an impresions thread yet? I walked around the show room floor a little, shook some hands and got a few sneak peaks!

For Now I'll have to just link my Instagram, it seems the Buisness center here at the hotel is... very very very limited


Shouts out to @iFi audio for being so friendly, loved how the iDSD Micro BL sounded! Looking forward to a longer demo soooon!!!!

This was really the highlight of my night! I believe the room was a join effort involving The Audio Company out of Atlanta who were showcasing these amazing speakers and their subsequant systems. I didn't quite catch the names of each as they were still doing some final tweaks and cleaning but I did get to hear two songs and give them some input of which seat was the "sweeter" of the sweet spot chairs.

I'm happy to see we all some what unaimously agree'd on which seat we felt sounded best. Overall though these were superbly impressive, much more so than the Maggie 3.7i's I heard a year ago or so in Upstaris Audio of Columbia.

Even with the vaccum cleaner running in the background it, the sound was well balanced and tactile. There was a sense of weight & Physicality not just in the bass but the mid range and up top! Very life like indeed,

Spoiler: Pics Only No Impressions

Here are some pics I shot at the end of the first day of set up! Nothing was ready to listen to just yet but from everything that wasn't under sheets I can tell tommorow's going to be a real treat!

I do see an impressions thread is up!

@AxelCloris & @joe you guys are welcome to remove this once I repost everything there. At this time I'm on Mobile so it's taking me a little longer to do everything I'd like to!

Right like wise!

Also since were still technically in the day before the meet I have a proposal!

I'm in Chicago but I've never had actual Deep Dish Pizza, so if any of you are free I'd love to travel into the city and enjoy some Luminate's deep dish pizza. Also if any of you are local and can drive I think all of us out of towners would be happy to car pool with you and spilt the gas costs. Plus if your willing to drive me back to my hotel I'll get you a couple of beers while we are out and about and lunch at Johnny's Beef anytime before monday!

AN speaking of food, I got to try some Johnnys Beef today and it was SUPERB!
