Southwest Audiofest

  Hello to all and may your Spring be "berry"  merry !

  Well sorry for the "corny" greeting, oops did it again. I am reaching out for help from you avid posters as well as the mostly readers rarely posters like me. 

  My wife and I will be in Dalles Saturday to attend the first ever Southwest Audiofest and our first ever Audiofest. I have yet to post my modest system but most of what I have and a lot of my audio  knowledge comes from sources like this forum with its wealth of contributers.

 We are attending to hear and see the stuff that I have seen and some have heard in the glossy trade magazines, a few dealerships, My brother's house!!! and your posted systems WoW on that !! I want to see the real estate priced components and the closer to earth stuff too. Please is there a protocol or etiquette do or don't dos?  What do you recommend to make us agog, stunned, smile ? What should we not miss? What lesser known "brands" are THE ones to visit I am asking what would you do if not auditioning or shopping??  Thank you verry much for helping

   Thank you @ricred and @jond. I do have an agenda though still "tweaking"  just seems too amateur you know ? All of the fests and shows and exhibits the many forum members have attended up against this being my first is a formidable ratio yet one I would like to use as an advantage. 

  Maybe you have a story ? "This one room I went to had an amazing  ???? or the show in Chicago I get on the elevator and turn around to see !!!!! AND It's just the two of us going down 14 floors please give me something so stop making stuff up.

   @ricred1 and @jond do you have a favorite or a room you plan to spend more or the most time in for example.  For instance I really don't understand how these demonstrations can be complimentary using hotel rooms. Are the attendees packed in ?

   Now you're talking.  That's as little as needed for a great response to my query. While my wife and I are not going with a purchase in mind (I ceded mine) still I had not heard of that manufacturer before. Also the mention that you made and have kept new friends as part of a show helps diminish my dim interpretation of the possibility of "stuffinese" being the prominent attitude.
