Hi Bryan, would you be uploading the two 5mins clips? I would be getting a mini DSP system, if I manage to get it to make some noise

Sorry Ani. Not enough time to upload the demo. I've not even completed it yet. Good luck on the MiniDSP. Are you driving down for the get together??  That has to be a long haul. 

ani_101

yes, driving down - download is not required, as long as we can get a line in to the mini dsp.

this is a minidsp 2x4 kit with hopefully a sure 4x100 amp (still need to configure the amp, right now just test one speaker with a stero amp)

So... who is there today?

I was there with the Victors. Sound good to most people, I'm just not happy over all with the scan disco mid. Too laid back vs the sb woofer and Peerless tweeter

I had the mini DSP two way, posted above. Planning to finish it and get it to Iowa.

Bryan@MAC

I just received the picture disc from Bill S.  I should have the archive page up by Sunday.  For now, there are several pics and a few videos posted on the Meniscus Facebook page if you'd like to check out the event.  It was a good time as always.

Ani, I thought these sounded really good, especially considering the cost of the drivers.  Turns out I have a pair of the woofers....lol.  Too bad I haven't built anything in almost two years.

Thanks, Ani.  I took all pictures without flash.  The lighting in this room was excellent.

Sometimes you get lucky.  It was great weather and the conference room had sheer white curtains over the windows, so the light was filtered perfectly for Bill to work his magic without a flash.  Iowa could be similar....  We do know Bill can produce exceptional pics in any condition.
