The show was pretty busy, all three days. It probably helped that the weather was incredible!

As always there was a ballroom filled with software.

Lots of records!

Peachtree had many products on display, these with the new Zu loudspeakers. Nice!

The Zu Soul loudspeakers. This room was a haven! Great company... they offered our school a pair of unfinished speakers so our students could paint them then they clear-coat them, install the drivers, and our school has a special one-of-a-kind speaker from Zu. What a generous offer! More to come on this.
