Capital Audiofest 2010

Anyone going to this?

I'm not, I have to play for someone's wedding on Saturday and hopefully schedule a lesson. And also catch up on work from last weekend.

Vlad and I had talked about it but I don't think we are anymore. There is a pro bike race in Reston that I'm planning to go to tomorrow and then I'm doing a metric century on Sunday (hopefully).

Some very interesting looking speaker companies there. The Fibonacci ribbons specifically are intriguing, anyone know anything about them?

[Dusty Chalk]

The Fibonacci's stole the show for me. It's a single ribbon, acoustic suspension, so they had them practically flat up against the wall, and I was hearing zero combing. No bloom (Salk), no bizarre etch-y like thing that wasn't etch (MBL, but I suspect it was room placement -- about 6 feet from a stone fireplace -- will probably visit United Audio for another demo, they were otherwise very good), not shouty...just...everything right. Wish they went lower than 80 Hz, he said it wasn't a gradual roll-off, but almost a brick-wall. Surround configuration, but I forgot to bring any of my own music. Intended to be in-wall.

Never got to listen to the Berkeley Audio Design.
