AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts?


This was my first show......I really enjoyed checking out all the gear. I was really impressed with the sound in the Scaena room as well as the MBL room.
I know this has been probably been discussed before, but someone really needs to tell all these sponsors, distributors, and people to LIGHTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were times that I didn't even feel welcome in certain rooms. In this economy, if I want to listen to one of my tunes on a $60,000 pair of loudspeakers, you should damn well roll out the red carpet. I understand "screening" tracks so no one plays gangster rap or 2 Live Crew or something that's offensive, but don't give me the third degree about whether or not my song will make your speakers sound good. Thoughts?

I have to say that I didn't find too much snobbishness in any of the rooms. I thought the folks in the MBL room were very friendly. They were playing live Peter Gabriel when I was in there. It was pretty incredible. They even asked what I wanted to hear next. All in all, I thought it was a pretty nice show. Agree with Meadowman, the ML stuff was a bit over the top. Anybody like the Adams loudspeakers?
I guess that I missed the Carnegie room. What model were they showing? Agree about the Soundsmith stuff - pretty sweet sounding.
