Who's planning on going? The exhibitor list is quite impressive and I understand that they will have larger regular rooms and more large rooms (mezzanine type) than Axpona does. I think around 70-80 rooms total.

Reference Analog will be showing Rockport Loudspeakers at SWAF. Both Orions and Lynx with the brand newly released Boulder 1150 series. I believe its the North American show debut for Rockport Lynx loudspeakers too. I can't wait to go to this show!

Last year was great, like a junior sized RMAF. It just needs more attendees. I live in north Dallas and cleared my calendar to attend.
