Thanks guys, got to Naperville safely but later than I anticipated, so a bit exhausted. Going to rest up and get ready for the big day tomorrow.
Excited to see you all!

Hope it is a great time for all, my brother-in-law and I want to come out next year from Seattle, with a detour to Chicago first.

Too much gabbing in the main listening room. Folks should be listening to the great Sarah amp and baffles.

Would be cool to be there and talk to Don from Wathen. Get a T-shirt from him. Hopefully sends out my latest order when he gets home

Just came back to crash at the hotel for the night. What a day! Had multiple great convos with Steve and Fam, Don, and Randy and other attendees.  And yes, multiple listening sessions with the Sarah, both with the House Speakers and then for the most part, the Zen Master Open Baffles.  Loved every second of it!

Kamran,

Notice it was your first experience with open baffles. What do you think?

jec3504,

It was frankly, a jaw dropping experience. I’m now ruined for life! Can’t wait to soak it in again tomorrow.

Hey Kamran,

From listening to the stream the Western Electric sounded really good. What's it like in person compared to the other 300Bs?

Didn’t spend enough time with Cryotone 300b to make a good comparison, and then we switched so many amps and speakers in-between that I don’t feel confident to put one over the other. The last hour hour before I left, the Sarah with the 300b was sounding really sweet. but the real sleeper hit of Decfest 2022 IMHO, was the new Decware bookshelf speaker (T6?).  Was utterly floored with it’s performance and so was the rest of the crowd.  I came in expecting the Sarah, the OB’s and the House Speakers to sound great (and they did), but this bookshelf blindsided everyone on the second day.  The performance, from top to bottom, belied it’s size. And if I heard correctly, it’s not even QC’d yet.  Great conversations, great food, great listening—couldn’t have asked for a better second day.
