Hi

Cool pics, just showing the other half the pics and she said they look cool. Are these the Hawthorne? open baffle jobbies.

I did not get around to many rooms and did not take any pics - hope to sample more other rooms next year.

Here's a crude phone panoramic of our room though



And all back in my room with the mid bass horns taped, glued, clamped and recovering whilst playing.

Nice pic Steve. Can I ask what size room these are in normally?

[speedysteve]

About 4.5m x 5.5m - 24.75sqm ! They are great in my room. Would happily work well in nicer acoustic bigger rooms though I am sure.

"After the Quorn room of 70sqm - WOW! Back in my room is like a putting on a favorite pair of shoes, or snuggling into a race seat / race cockpit that's been made for you - all falls into place and is right. Amazing how good and involving they sound.

Interestingly we finally hardly ran the front compression driver horns any harder than I do in my room in relation to the others! Diff between 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock on the vol controls, so only a few dB I guess.
The mid bass was diff between 10 o'clock and about 12 and the tapped horn was wound round form 10 o'clock to about 2 o'clock." - from my DIY thread.

We did at times crank the master vol round a bit more though

Nice pic Steve. Can I ask what size room these are in normally?

Dedication!

Haha - sorry I scowled at you after you took that pic. I was not in a great place right at that moment. Recovered during the curry

Dedication!

No worries, Steve. Taking the picture was a bit cruel but had to be done.

Makes me wince to see this. Beyond the call Steve. I still think some Kylie would have sounded nice though

You could practically have fitted Kylie inside that rig !

Scowled! If that had been me there would have been tear stains all over them!

iPhone piccy of my set-up. I really should have tried the speakers at different heights...

[TIU]

Beautiful standmounts there, I would have loved to have seen and heard them in the flesh.

Dedication!

Absolute hero. Deserves some sort of award. Was there not another room with a bigger door?

[speedysteve]

It's a long story...

quite a short one really...

[bigdur]

You handled it very well Steve.

[rabski]

You handled it very well Steve.

Indeed he did. Much respect deserved.

I'd personally still have taken a fucking great lump out of the wall though. After all, we did have insurance...

[Gizza]

Unbelievable!
And I never got to his room to hear them either! Gutted.

Absolute hero. Deserves some sort of award.

He should at least have an award named after him. The organising committee (?) should hand out 'The Speedysteve Award' annually to the exhibitor who makes the most Herculean effort to deliver what he's promised. I've no idea what form it should take mind ... Free curry ? First pick of room next year ? Night with the committee member of his choice ? Any other suggestions ?
