All this talk about booze and so little talk about the audio.
Sheesh.
In the least i hope people bring various listening test discs or music source material with them.
Everyone,
The Axiom Anniversary weekend is shaping up just great. Our plan is to have all the main events on Saturday day and evening. During the day on Saturday we will have factory tours, double blind listen tests, some workshops on various audio topics with Alan, Andrew, and myself,
Things I would love to see:
A speaker frequency analysis in the anechoic chamber.
An EP500/600 turned up to 100% to demonstrate two things; just how loud they can actually go (with listening room measurements monitored), and how well the DSP controls the max levels as advertised.
Just for kicks, i would also love to have a double blind test of an Axiom speaker vs. some other brand. However, i can see how that could potentially backfire as a marketing idea if people chose the other brand.
Maybe if the other brand was a really crappy
Bosequality of some kind...but of course that does slant the results.
Alternatively, a double blind test of ....yep....receiver A vs. receiver B (or amp A vs amp B).
One last thing, i know it is a weekend, but i'm keen on watching that assembly line pump out the speakers. Maybe someone could shoot a short video of that during the week and show it on the weekend.
Hard working people at work.
You can't appreciate it until you've seen it in action IMO.
Maybe some of us could get the chance to "attempt" to paint your own speakers?
Oooh better yet, grab that CAD program and setup the CNC machine to carve out your own speaker design!!
Ian, is this too far fetched for a day's worth of activities?
It's like a kid in a candy factory (forget the candy store, the factory is where the action is).
I'm just really looking foward to this event and seeing everybody. I'm very confident I'll enjoy it no matter what is planned.
