Krispy Audio Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 This Aussie brand will be there! Room 606. I'm looking forward to meeting those I haven't met in person.
Willco Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 + Lenehan and other Aussie brands.....? Yes it is sad that touted brands on this Site cannot get their act together and present us prospective buyers outa town do to speak!--chance to hear and chew the fat with the designers The fact seems they are saying come to us if you want the product-- well boys it's competitive world out there! Willco
Krispy Audio Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 In others' defense, I registered in the first week of Feb this year and as at today I'm still not listed as an exhibitor in the link above. So I wonder how current that web page is. We're contacting them to update it so hopefully a lot more pop up shortly.

Willco wilco if i designed or made any hifi gear the show would be the last thing on my mind due to the costs which are very high imho
New Sensations Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 wilco if i designed or made any hifi gear the show would be the last thing on my mind due to the costs which are very high imho Agreed. 6-10k is a huge amount of ca$h for a small business.
Willco Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 wilco if i designed or made any hifi gear the show would be the last thing on my mind due to the costs which are very high imho Yes I guess I sorta saw that coming--ah well you know you pay peanuts you get Monkeys-- what about Marketing/Advt Budgets-- they won't come if they don't know you exist Ok, How about say --- 1 Speaker Mfg gets with 1 Amp maker/Importer + 1 Cable maker/Importer+ 1 Stand/rack maker/Importer + 1 Access/Tweaker Importer/etc books room/ splits costs --or one too many Egos prevent? Willco

Willco Ego's ? Lack of spare cash regarding lenehan audio wilco i guess mike can sell his vs commodore station wagon to put a deposit down on a room as for 1 Speaker Mfg gets with 1 Amp maker/Importer + 1 Cable maker/Importer+ 1 Stand/rack maker/Importer + 1 Access/Tweaker Importer/etc books room/ splits costs it doesn't always work well melbourne show was a clear example of that in a certain room.
Willco Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Yes K, I understand how many Aus Mfgs are working on the breadline-sad as it seems and Ha!-- I'll bet a few egos get in the way when it comes to cohabitation! But you know its not just about demoing product --as poor as some/most rooms are at shows its the chance to chat and meet the designers/ tech's plus have a social mix after/etc- anyway point taken-- guess then the profit making companies will be to the fore. Frankly I didn't realise it was that expensive--that's around the CES Venetian rates!-. Willco
Krispy Audio Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Wilco, it's exactly what I've done to reduce the expense.
rantan Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Two months to go! See you guys there! I reckon it will be a hoot. Edited August 22, 2012 by rantan

Guest guru Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 the room are a lot smaller than in melbourne, the $6000 rooms are 4.3 x 4.3 in useable area with furniture that is non removable. the bathrooms in the rooms are bloody enormous, great if you're a guest but useless for demoing gear. very poorly thought out by the organisers.

I guess guru we will have more excuses this year for poor sound i am sure yours won't be
rantan Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Shows aren't about sound Mario. Shows are about connecting, networking, socialising and talking schitt with like minded people. How would your system go in that size room?
Guest guru Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I guess guru we will have more excuses this year for poor sound i am sure yours won't be We were going to do an Ongaku based system but I'm not sure we will be there at all. If we do it will be a small system only, under $25k not worth putting anything more in, they really are small, 2 sitting ,3 standing and it's crowded. Cheers,g.

How would your system go in that size room? You are very wrong there rantan, you are hyper judged at shows, I was looking at another forum tonight and came across threads in the uk about the sound of the speakers we had in Melbourne. The OP was trolling and was eventually banned but the thread went for 7 pages of crap before they pulled the plug and this was from comments made on here.
