Eminience Delta 12 LFA if I'm not mistaken. I'm going to be pulling the rear off and I will check to make sure that is correct. I'm currently using a set of crossovers that Dean had built for me to service the split cornscala's, but they do great with the mini rig as well. i have also run them in a 2 way active.

No, and I will go back and edit the travel adventure so it's completed. No internet at the hotel for a couple days and haven't had time to sit down and finish it, but I will.

As someone that has had, built and listened to 10x the speakers that I have, did your impressions align with mine? You may have posted that in another thread, but if you did, I did not see it.

Trailer is unloaded, blown out, pressure washed and ready to go back, but not today. Truck still has to be unloaded, but started to rain, which reminds me of a Jackyl tune we listened to, but anyway, Huge difference between meeting people and getting to know them, it's my kind of party when you really get to develop relationships with people that will grow over time, and this was certainly that, for those that I had met, but now I've started to get to know. General thoughts, after 4 hrs of sleep and 1100 miles..........................so take it for what it's worth. 1. i tend to agree with @Thaddeus Smith that the number of people can affect the experience and we need to consider that going forward. 2. I'm not driving to Hope next year with all this gear, and we need to consider this as a traveling event, relatively close to a major airport, and the attendees within reasonable driving distance, can bring the gear, while those that have to fly, won't have a 3-4 hour drive after they arrive. 3. We need to find a venue that has outdoor and indoor capabilities, we were fortunate to have weather that allowed us to rock outside for the entire time. 4. Already thinking about the next one, is a wonderful thing and thanks to all that made it, as well as those that were planning on it and couldn't. I can't say enough, what a great time I had.

get out of my head.

DCA1622's but there's about 6 in that line, depending on the power you need, but stick to the 2 channel versions, you have many more options on connections, just as @rockhound

Last one for the evening, but I was way too keyed up from the drive to just go to sleep. @kirby said I really needed to try and get by @Dave A to listen to the supers and he was correct. Understand that what we had at SWAG was great, but the supers and the 402's were the best pair of speakers I've ever heard, period. Funny how we were chatting at SWAG about how all speakers really need a sub and we were listening to different speakers with and without the sub just to hear on the fly what they were all like without a sub. The Super MWM's, don't need no freaking sub and I would be shocked if you all don't agree when you've had an opportunity to hear them. Obviously, they aren't going to be in many home applications due to the size, but I've got to hear these things in the same type of setting where they can really be opened up. Absolutely amazing, IMHO. Thanks Dave, I wish I would have had more time, but we're going to do it at the next event.

And the 396's were in the building along with a set of JBL's that I wanted to hear but it didn't happen.

I believe all of those bottles on the table got kicked and there might have been a couple more kicked or at least dented pretty bad.

I'm going to try and get out early so I have enough time to unload the gear, camouflage the new ones before Denise gets home, pressure wash the Arkansas mud off the trailer and get it returned so I can play some music. LOL @babadono Glad you made it home safe, but Carl said you passed a wicked accident on the way to the airport.

Absolute blast. It was worth it and great to meet you, we will be chatting. Not to toot my own horns @CECAA850 I'm thrilled with the splits. Just an FYI, the pick showed the ZPX horn and the Beyma tweeter, but the other one had a goldwood 450 horn with Dave's LMAHL with DE10 driver. No contest on the tweeter @Dave A MAHLS are fantastic. I prefer the ZPX slightly over the goldwood, but Carl prefered the goldwood. No right or wrong, just what your listening preferences are. Meant to run the ESS's, but didn't get around to wiring the pair up to match the impedance to the networks. The whole year has been screwed up and obviously, you weren't the only one that didn't make it, but I would bet that this is only the first, so next year. The accident that happened in front of me was bad. Both vehicles were totaled.

First leg done! Made it to Bardstown exit in KY about 40 miles south of Louisville. 1 traffic jamb/accident for about an hour, another accident that happened about a minute in front of me, an additional leg in the trip to deliver gear to Dave. I will post much more and had a blast with everyone. Running to Dave's added about 3 hours but I got to see the shop, meet Dave and listen to the Super MWM's with 402's. I will tell you my impressions in detail over the next couple of days, and somehow, they will be at the next event.

Who knew they had a bourbon trail in Arkansas? Great night hanging by the pool and adding a couple more bourbons to the list of keepers.

Well, after some electrical and cable issues, we did get in hours of great listening switching between, EV's, Split LSI's, 3 way Mini punch's, 396's and the devastator. All the speakers are set up outside and today, all driven with Carl's ATI amp which sounded great. I'm sure you will see some pics that others took with the setup, and had a great day. Time for a little evening socializing and maybe and adult beverage or 3. @Thaddeus Smith we're sorry it didn't work out too, and that applies to so many that would have been here in April. Strange times indeed, but great to see everyone that has made the journey.

Yes, and for sure, if you can get away you should come down. The place is huge. I can attest to that, but a friend would have carefully calculated the route and mileage, told me which side of the road it was on, look for the sign that isn't lighted, it's not on a red dirt road, you know, some useful information. Full disclosure, this has been the road trip from hell, which usually doesn't happen to me, so, here's how it went. Altered plans due to Beta and left a day later than expected, forgot to pick up @MookieStl and about 10 miles into Kentucky, pulled over in the rest area and started the bourbon search, called ahead and was told they had everything, including Weller 12 and it was only 5 miles away, but I had to exit off and head back North a few miles to get to the liquor store, no problem, except I'm dragging a trailer and thought I was going to rip the jack off (yes, I said jack off), because the parking lot was tiny and pretty big grade changes, but hell, they have Weller 12........................not, lying bastard$. Get back on the interstate, no big deal, but in the 15 minutes it took me, there was a major accident, just past the rest area I stopped at, 3 tractor trailers and 1.5 hrs later and I'm on the road again, but not going to make it to Memphis, so I'll push and at least make it to Nashville. I stopped at no less than 5 other liquor stores only to confirm that those bastard$ in KY that own the stores don't have actual bourbons that I'm looking for, and if they did, they charge 2,3, even 4x's the normal price................but one nice fellow let me know that the pappy and weller release was postponed until October and I could come back then, right, bastard$. It's all good, don't care and onto Nashville, where I try to rip the jack off a few more times because it's a poor design with horrible clearance, but they gave me a great deal, since mine hasn't been built yet and it's a rental, so, "drag it like you stole it". Get to the West side of Nashville, so I don't have to fight traffic in the morning and check into a Hampton, cause you know, if you stay there 100 times you get a free night stay next to a liquor store that might get the bourbon you're looking for and only charge you 4x's the price, anyway, I had pulled up the rate on my phone, $87, fine, same rate I'm paying in Hope but the girl behind the desk, must be related to the people that own KY liquor stores and lets me know, because I'm an honors member that she can get me a room, in the her fine hotel, that is 20% full, for a great rate of of $129, bitc*, out to get my phone because I had to show her the rate I pulled up minutes before, I did and she told me to get that rate, I need to book it on my phone and pay for it that way..........................bitc*, I said, "that's pretty stupid and I know you can do an exception and change it yourself" so $97 it was. LOL Yes, another paragraph, but I have to get all of this out now, although it's going to be better after bourbon for sure. I go to park "the rig", and of course, out of all the Hampton's I've stayed at over the years in 10 or more states, you can't pull around this one................the bastard$ put trees on the rear of the hotel instead and now, if not for my trailering prowess, a hole lot of swearing I get to back the thing out around corners because there was no other way. I'm out, great, then realizing I just over payed for a room that I might have to park 500 yards away and walk. I did get it maneuvered around and put it in so that nobody could be a dumb *** and park me in. ( one small success) Realize, I forgot my My Pillow, I'm really hungry so Waffle House and coffee sounded great................................didn't really sleep all that much, should have done Waffle House and bourbon. We're not done yet. Pulled up the weather this morning and found out that Beta decided to move a bit North than had been projected and seemed to put I-40 in the center of the rain from Hope to Nashville, great, I really wanted to go to Dave's and check out his gear (not junk), but this could be a long drive and if the rain gets to heavy, I'll just stop and get a room I thought, so back in the truck, and I'll check out a few liquor stores in the area and look for a specific Belle Meade that Carl sent me a picture of. I first went to Publix, right across the street, pretty flat and a big parking lot, great, except it's not a liquor store, just beer and wine......................yes, lying bastard$, but they did send me to a great store about a mile away that the prices were amazing, huge selection, except for anything that's made at Buffalo Trace, including Weller, but there it is, the Belle Meade that Carl said I should look for. Today, was going to be a great day indeed. Snapped a pic, sent it to Carl to show him the my score, and his text back, well it's close, fuc&! I should have looked a little closer at the picture, but hey, he also said it should be good, so still a decent day, and on the road I go. That's all for tonight, but there's more, much more. I'll finalize the adventure tomorrow when I realize someone stole the trailer with my gear in it. 9.30.2020 Part Deux: I get on the interstate, headed for Hope, with plenty of time to deal with a little rain and make it an easy day, it's about 10AM and I should easily get to Hope around 5 including stopping for gas ever 200 miles because the truck never gets great mileage, but you can hear it pumping through the injectors dragging a trailer. Light rain for about an hour, extremely heavy truck traffic with the usual idiots pissing with there phones, makeup, or reading a book (yes, observed a couple of them), but no big deal, and averaging about 72MPH, and then the rain gets heavy and steady so I decide to pull off, take a 15-20 minute break, gas up, get some food and walk around a little, so by the third non functioning gas pump (maneuvering around with the trailer from pump to pump) and going into the store, since none of them want to take my card properly, or reset to try again, I go in, hit the head and come out to a line of people that had to be 20 deep at the register, screw that, no food, no gas and don't care, I'm getting back on the road and have a 5 gallon container of gas in the bed of the truck, so I'm fine. Pouring and traffic still heavy, and I'm about 30 miles from Memphis and determined to hit the Arkansas line prior to stopping again...............that didn't work out as planned either. Through the pouring rain and massive amounts of spray coming off all the trucks, I can still make out the brake lights coming up, surely, this can't be another delay, but alas, another 1.5 hour stoppage due to an accident...............low fuel light has been on for a while, but still good, but I need to find an exit pretty quick.

Yes, He's coming. Just invited me to stop in and see the rest of his gear and creations since I was so close

I thought you were coming. Sending you a PM

On the road bitche$. Long day to Nashville, but on the way and so far non of the gear broke lose in the trailer. LOL. Looking forward to seeing you all.

LMAO, so the animals and hay and then $300 per year for five years.

To that offer, yes, but if you were serious, you know I would work something reasonable out with you. 1 Beef Cow, 18 chickens, 3 goats and 50 bales of hay and we can start negotiating Are you sure you can't join us? Wishful thinking on my part and not busting balls about your decision, but there's a little time to change your mind, just saying. LOL.

Monday morning around 5 or 6 is the plan as of this moment.

Bump before I load up for SWAG

T-minus 87hrs for me. LOL
