What a great way to start out this site. My good friend and associate Mike Velari will be posting coverage of the 2007 CES show in Las Vegas mainly from The Venetian Tower, where most of the high-end speaker manufactures will be. Mike will be manning the Genesis booth, but in his spare time will be checking out the other manufacturers of high-end audio, taking pictures and sending me updates.
Mike works for Genesis Loudspeakers and is active in the DIY audiophile community in the Puget Sound area. Mike won the award for Best Sound of Show, Best 2-way Loudspeaker in it's price range, and Best 3-way Loudspeaker in it's price range at the 2006 PNWAS speaker building competition. I have built pair of the two-way designs that won the 2-way competition and they are sweet little speakers for the money. I will post a review of that design sometime in the future.
I hope this kicks off the Speakergeeks website with some good karma. This site will soon be a valuable resource for the DIY and high-end audiophile community. We will eventually have a forum, wiki, product database and a speaker driver database with design parameters. Currently we have a custom search engine that will search audiophile and DIY sites. You should see the search box on the right hand side of the page. The search engine is will give you focused, relevant results for most DIY speaker building terms as well as audiophile and home theater searches.
My hope is that commentary, news and tools on this blog will keep you coming back for more. For starters, try out the custom search engine and let me know what you think.
