I will be at the Akfest 09.
This will be the first time for me at this event, I hope its good.
Perhaps we should have a spot at this event to meet /register people from the area to form a club. |
I will be at AKfest also. The old nasty hotel actually had better rooms, IMO, but it is still fun and growing every year.
I suggest everyone interested in attending a listening event email Steve. Even tho we are spread out we should have a master email list. From there we can hold an event in the N,S,E and West you can pick your events from there??? What say you? |
AKfest is well worth the trip and very fun, a nice setting too (of course hotel rooms can only be so good) recommended! |
I am in Midland and I might be interested in a audio club.

First off I have a virus so I can't get back to any of you till it's gone. Sorry this just started. I would like to go to AKFEST is there anyone going from this side of the state? I lost the use of my legs and can't drive. But I would gladly pay gas money for a ride there. I have one other person in my area that says he may be interested in starting a club also. Do any of you have friends or family into Audio? The more we can recruit the easier it will be to have a monthly or bi-monthly meeting. I look foward to talking all things audio. My system is very low end. B&K preamp and amp,Denon DVD player,Technics 1200 and Polk LSi7 speakers. But I had to start some where.I will do my best to get my computer back asap. Talk with you soon Steve
PS don't Email me till I get back on line as I will loose all info when They re do my HD |
My email is stark_portugal@yahoo.com. I'm in Grand Rapids. What is AKfest, where when. Probably would be a good place to meet up, maybe get something rolling there.

It's not quite RMAF but fun non the less. |
I'm all for trying to get a group of guys together, but I also know how challenging it can be to try something like that at AKFest. There is too much stuff to see in a short amount of time. Last year I spent the whole day there and didn't see everything I wanted to. To try and add meeting a new group of guys to the mix might not work real well. |
S7horton, I thought that since many of us will be at the AKfest, that would be a great central meeting point. Perhaps we could get together for lunch or dinner ???
Do you have a better idea? |
AK Fest might not be the best place to meet.... to many things going on. Personally I will be going with several friends who do not have an interest in a club or organization.
|
I suppose not everyone has to be there. A few people and a proposed date/location to get the first one going and we can see where we go from there.
I will be in Friday night, Saturday, leaving Sun. |
MaxCast.... where are you located.

I was stating that those of us that are going to go to the AKFest will eat lunch and or dinner somewhere during that day.
Those of us that were interested could meet at lunch or dinner to discuss the possiblity of a regional club.
All we would need to agree on is place and time for the lunch/dinner. |
aa555, I am in St. Joseph, MI SW corner by the big lake. I doubt I'd have many coming down for a gtg, but I would travel. I have a good friend in GR that I could crash at.
This threads been going on for 7 years...I guess there is no hurry :) lol
The hotel gives two comp drinks and snacks. Let's pick the closest table to the bar as soon as it opens. Someone bring a piece of paper and write MI audio club or something on it. |
Puter is back up and running!Has anyone got an idea what we can do as of now? |
Midland Mi here. try to set up a meeting in neutral location or an agreed upon home and have a chat and bull session. ask questions, where to meet, officers? Dues? when and where to meet? Purpose of meeting? Guest speaker?
the club has to have a mission... not just show up and bull about nothing. do we talk about gear? Music? Tweeks?
our personal expierences? AK fest is not a good place to meet... to much going on and to hard to get all potential club members in the same place at one time. |
I live in the Michiana area, about 20 min. from Niles MI. If anyone would like to get together let me know.

Currently live in Plymouth IN and have place in Three Rivers MI, would be interested in getting together.

JLM, from Owosso (between Flint/Lansing). Had attended a couple of SE Michigan meetings years ago, but lost touch. Have been into stereo/audio for 40 years. Currently have custom built single driver speakers in a Cardas prescribed room/nearfield layout. Might be able to host a get together. Have a small HT system in the family room and an older system in the living room. |
While waiting on the new thread for a Grand Rapids based group this is a call to Michigan Audiophiles for the "Third Coast Audio Society".
Please contact us at thirdcoastaudio@gmail.com for a copy of our Charter and to let us know about you and your interests. We have a wonderful hobby that needs to be encouraged and enjoyed.
Here's to new friends, great musical moments and audio toys! |
Checking in in Holland, MI. I'd love to get together and listen to music. DIY tube, solid state and speaker guy here. I am more than happy to host the first meeting if we get a handful interested. E-mail me at craig4tone at att dot net (sorry, don't want any bot spam!). |
I live in Canton,Mi.,any audiophiles in that area? |
