Who's going to the Capital Audio Fest?

Caught this on CBS Saturday Morning a little while ago.

They do sound as good as they look, IMO. Heard them at a previous CAF. Quite impressive.

Good looking speaker with some unique engineering. Quite intriguing. Wonder how they’d compare to the Alta Celesta’s.

Heard those as well. IMO the Fleetwood sounded more like music. But those were two systems in two different rooms driven by different equipment, so it’s just a one off opinion.

Did you hear the Fleetwood DeVille’s at the show? Very interested in opinions. Were they paired up with subs? Love, love the looks.

Apologies for the delayed response
I did not make the show as planned, unfortunately a family medical emergency took place and I diverted to Florida

At some point in the near future I will take a drive down to PA or Brooklyn and have a look/listen at one of their demo rooms and relay my thoughts

Thanks! Hope to see a report on these beautiful looking speakers in the near future. Also, hope the medical emergency was resolved in a positive way.

Appreciate the kind thoughts, things are pointing up on the medical side

Maybe after the holidays, I’ll take a little road trip to OMA

The 2022 Capital Audiofest stars tomorrow.

I was going to go. In fact my flight would have taken off in about 90 minutes, but the storm here in FL shut down the airport. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: I ain’t gonna be there.

Sorry to hear that. Hope everyone is ok when the rubble clears. I will most like stop by the expo on Saturday.

Thanks. Have fun. If you get a chance, could you swing by the NOLA room to hear Carl’s latest speakers? I think he’s calling them the Baby Grand Reference 3, or something like that. Wanted to hear them.

I look forward to seeing Andrew Jones new speaker creation. He quit Elac and started a new company called MoFi and his new point source speaker looks wicked!

PS- Should it not be called Capitol Audio Fest?

I thought he was brought into Mobile Fidelity as their speaker designer. :thinking:

You are correct. I misrepresented the facts!
