Florida International Audio Expo 2024!

[cube-tube]

This past weekend makes it my 4th year going to this event. Every year, it gets bigger and better. This year was no different.

The really cool thing about this year's show is that I got to meet and talk to OCD Mikey! He met my three brothers as well. We chatted for a few minutes, then went on our way. A few hours later, we meet again, this time my brothers and I were coming out of a room and Mike was heading in with a few friends. The music they were playing wasn't the best, both music wise and recording quality wise. I told Mike to go in there and "school" them on good sound and music! LOL

I have to say, Mike is a really, really nice, cool guy. He's just like he is on YouTube! Cool, direct, tells it how it is, doesn't BS around.

Here's a few pics of the show on Saturday. I should have asked to take a pic with Mike, but I just didn't think about it at the time. Oh well, maybe next year!

Some interesting looking gear there, Charles. Thanks for sharing your photographs.

To accommodate that kind of kit (especially those speakers in the MSB room that look like like Elton John's boots in "Pinball Wizard") I'd have to take out all the internal walls of my 3-bed bungalow, making the house into one listening room with a kitchen and toilet at one end and a sofa bed in the middle... but then if I could afford that sort of gear I'd be living somewhere else.

But we can dream :)

The Accuphase and KEF Ref 1 Metas in the Just Audio room, that's about my size :)

The MBL speakers are extraordinary looking beasts, what did they sound like?

I knew they reminded me of something.

Crystal clear, open, airy, natural, dynamic, full bodied. Those are amazing sounding loudspeakers.

Never mind Phil, there's always the NW Audio Show at Cranage in June, that's worth a visit :) I never miss that one.
