Tempting to come and do some photography when I am there!

Tempting to come and do some photography when I am there!

This will be my first time attending the Florida show, and it will be as a "civilian" rather than as an exhibitor. So I am looking forward to to being able to spend as much time as I want in whichever rooms I want.

If you give in to the temptation, I hope to bump into you there.

There are tons of beautiful places for photography in central Florida. I would recommend Dunedin and Honeymoon Island.

 

[MZKM]

I usually go, their newer location makes it a further drive.

I think I’ve gone 3 times, but still some brands I still haven’t seen, like SVS, as their room is either a line out the door or closed for filming.

I see @sigbergaudio listed as an exhibitor! Room 261. Thorbjørn, will you be there?

Thanks. I used to live there (South Florida) and would go to both coasts for bird photography. It has been decades though so if family situation allows it, I might show up.

I wish, given the difference in weather between here and Florida. But unfortunately not.

But DreamScapes A/V will host and they are great and competent guys, so please stop by if you're going - you can tell me if they've been able to set it up properly! Jokes aside, would be interesting to hear what you think! It's a full Manta setup with dual 10D subwoofers.

This would be about a 2 hour drive for me. On their website I don’t see any headphone brands listed. Who would be doing headphone equipment demos there, if any? I don’t see the names of many audio brands I’m interested in. Besides SVS. What exhibitors here look interesting to ASR fans?

Imo the 2 hour drive would be worthwhile to hear the Sigberg Audio Manta system.

 

[Bobby Bass]

I would love to go since I’ll be in warm and sunny Florida at that time but the family is booked for Disney everyday. I definitely need to get away. Record cold with wind chills down to -25 below in the Boston area today. Looking forward to reports from those attending the Expo. Enjoy!

 

[Mattcc22]

I'll be there with a group from the Jax area. Been a few times and it's always a fun guys weekend getaway. I always come away with a few new songs to try on my system as well.

I hope so, I'd come to meet you up

Usually on the top floor they have a few dealers who have every boutique headphone known to man (that is currently for sale).

Hear the floor-standers at the so-called NY Show. Excellent.
