South Haven, Michigan. Not far from Kalamazoo.

So looks like 2.5-3 hours from me. A good friend of mine puts on a home theater GTG every year and is planning to do another this summer. If you are willing to make the drive, it may be worth the effort. We typically get some gear in to demo, along with a large selection of current and future DIY Sound Group kit speakers. Most attendees describe it as the single largest gathering of woofers they have ever seen. The total cone area represented is pretty immense.

@dc2bluelight can you please remind me of your name. I know you gave me your business card, but I want to be sure I have set aside the right one.

It was great meeting you, and I agree with Dennis, thank you for your additional show coverage. Also, are you in the area? When you first posted I assumed DC as in the DC area, but I'm assuming you may be more local than I realize?

Sounds awesome - I would love to attend one. A 2-3 hour drive isn't too bad for a day trip.

Superb job guys... love the pics and write-ups thus far... and really glad the REW class turned out to be such a huge success. Sad I could not be a part of it... maybe next year.

Thanks, all!

I don't have the stats handy, but this show seemed bigger and Matt's REW Master Class was a super success.
