1. Magnepan 30.7, mid bass and soundstage for full orchestra is supposed to world class. Unfortunately this is offsite, even though they have an after hours party Friday.

2. GT Audio's hybrid ribbon tweeter with open baffle conventional woofers, should be cool.

3. PMC fenistria this is their statement speaker, lots of different technologies went into this. Should make for an interesting listen.

4. Von Schweikert Ultra 9's, last years over the top Ultra 11's were awesome but overwhelming in size. I want to see how this more room friendly, sized model sounds.

5. YG Acoustics 21" subwoofer Invincible, plus a new speaker called the Vantage will be there.

Gauder Akustik because I liked their speakers so much last year, even if in a tiny room. Magico has a couple of new speakers to demo, Wilson Audio to see if I can finally hear one of their large speakers in a room that matches their hype. Gobel's Bending Wave Speaker, Legacy Audio always has a big room with some demo CD's to give away. I've never heard their speakers sound really great, maybe they just set them up wrong in those big rooms they usually get. Wonder if King Sound will make it, they sound good to me but never loud enough. Now it seems they have a four column stereo set up, so maybe they fixed that.

Wow, you have it all planned out. I'm working on getting there. First task is to change the battery in this Chromebook.

I always enjoy hearing the new products from Dynaudio, plus their flagship Evidence Platinum is usually there somewhere.

That's a good line up, TT. I'm just gonna play it by ear, literally. I'll wander around not knowing what I'll find, surprise at every turn, heh.

First day I am going to try get listen to my top four speakers, that's the most important part for me. The rest I'll pick up as I go meandering down the long hallways of the Renaissance.
