John….great pictures.  Looks like it was an amazing time!  The castle has such a rustic and historic feel….such a great backdrop to enjoy music.

I have more. Just need to process the rest when time is available.
I could have easily spent a week at Stronghold. There is a lot to explore on the grounds and surrounding area then 44 hours permitted. My cousin and I both agreed on the way home that we had a good time but probably would not do it again. Since reviewing the pictures and maps Steve provided, I think that another visit next year may be happening for me at least.

When I arrived on Friday, the.sound rooms were not ideal. Steve's was the best at that time, Randy's was good, and I kind of felt sad for Bob. His seemed to have dispersion conflicts at that time. On Saturday, all the rooms seemed to be dialed in. Some dispersion panels were added to Randy's and Bob's rooms and much more absorption(people) where present in all the listening rooms. Randy's presentation excelled in vocals, Bob's in imaging, and Steve's gusty warmth. All rooms were very enjoyable.

Steve, it would be great to offer a VIP pass giving an extra day or two at the castle in exchange for setup/teardown help Smiley
