T.H.E. Show in Costa Mesa on Friday


I went today and saw some really nice stuff. The big ballroom had what may have been the biggest system I’ve ever "experienced". It was able to rattle the chandelier. And they played ROCK music on tape. Those cabinets are >7 feet tall and have what I believe are six JBL 18"s, two JBL 12"s, and a custom AMT on each side.

I guess that makes them "kissing cousins" to my Mermans with JBL 18"s, JBL 10"s, and Heil AMT.:idea:https://youtu.be/KjK5hjv-pLY

I was really looking forward to hearing the Magicos, but somehow missed them.  Maybe they just weren't demoed at the time I was there.  Their Estelons sounded very nice.

Was also looking forward to hearing Focals (nope), MBLs (nope), and even some line arrays (nope).

Was interesting that many of the smaller speakers had more copious bass than many of the larger speakers, and could easily fill large rooms, but then very few were playing really loud, compressed rock music.
