MARCH MEETING-Sunday, March 15th,
1:00PM-5:00PM, Stephen Merryweather
 
For March, we are meeting up again with Stephen Merryweather at his workshop/warehouse location in Elgin. To quote Stephen from his Meetup profile, "I have been strongly interested in audio for 45 years or so. I have been a musician, sound engineer, studio owner, speaker builder, music collector, and all round madman for a long time." Stephen is a skilled carpenter and woodworker and builds his own horn, open-baffle, and high-efficiency speakers and will have a number on hand to demo.
 
Speakers on hand will include Altec Valencia's, Tannoy Golds, and RCA LC-1's all in custom horn-loaded cabinets by Stephen, as well as Stephen's updated open-baffle design. There will be a room for seating for 6 at a time in one area and some of the larger horns will be set up in a large woodworking room with seating for about 10-12 listeners. In the smaller listening area, a restored Infinity FET hybrid amplifier 700 watt Class A amplifier will be featured. There will be additional chairs setup about midway in an area for those who want to talk and hang out. Source material will be disc, so do bring along your favorite music tracks on CD to listen to. 
 
PLEASE NOTE: This is a warehouse type location, not residential. There are 3 floors of warehouse stairs to climb. There is parking for about 12-15 cars in the area by the entrance of the building and plenty of additional free parking in the adjacent lot on the northwest corner of Highland and State (Rt 31) directly across the street (see directions above). 
 
Stephen's speakers and designs are available-consult with Stephen. Everyone had a great time at Stephen's last get together in September, 2016 and this promises to be the same, but in a large warehouse location offering a unique experience
