Greetings, everyone!
As gonefishin has announced earlier in this forum, Venus Hi-Fi will be hosting the 2005 Midwest Audio Fest here in Bloomington, Indiana. I am still in the process of figuring out exactly when MAF 2005 will be held (it could take place anywhere from May through August), but I have already begun to find some potential exhibitors for the show. And this is one area in which I'd like to get your input!
As many of you know, the previous two Midwest Audio Fests showcased a wide range of low-power tube amps and high-efficiency loudspeakers. And while I would like to continue this tradition (after all, I'm a sucker for SET-based systems), I would like to expand the scope of MAF to include all sorts of worthy audio components that are out-of-the-ordinary in one or more ways, be they high-power tube amps, solid-state electronics, or moderate-efficiency loudspeakers. In other words, I'd like to make MAF 2005 a showcase for great-sounding-yet-affordable "audio exotica". Thus, while I won't be inviting manufacturers such as Krell and B&W to attend, I think it would be great to include companies such as Brinkmann Audio and Living Voice...
So, which manufacturers would YOU be most interested in seeing at MAF 2005? Again, what I'm looking for are enticing audio components that fall outside of the mainstream. And please feel free to renominate attendees of the last two MAFs - there were, after all, some KILLER systems at these shows!
Cheers,
Brian
