5-6 months away will make our baby 1 or 2 months old so I suspect I'll be rather busy with them so I'll need to let you know. I'd certainly try.
Distance wise, where were you thinking? - I have a medical related issue with staying away so could be a challenge if too far.

I can be flexible but the speakers are staying at home next time as do not want to dismantle and rebuild but could always do this to my speakers

Now yer talkin' John. They should be much easier to transport. I see people travelling with stuff like that all the time.

Great to see the pics. Wish I could have been there. Maybe next time. Nice sized room for a 5 way horn system? but that'll never happen now they are where they are.

You'll have to make a smaller 'portable' set, Steve!

How would folks feel about travelling a bit further for one in 5 or 6 months? Are you thinking about having it a bit further south Chris??

Somewhat belated - I really enjoyed the day especially the nOrh Marble-9 speakers - if I could lift them I would have taken them!
Really good range of music as well - at least three albums to definitely purchase and a few others to listen to on Spotify.
It was not only good to put faces to names but to also talk to them!
Pauls' cake did look exceedingly nice but as I am watching my waistline (expand) I had to decline - thanks for the offer - maybe next year??

How about a folded horn designed for corners? Using a single high quality driver. That's the sort of thing you could knock up and make beautiful. Inexpensive and portable. Your very own 'show' speakers.

You could try dropping in with the Leonardo method...

Your very own 'show' speakers. Possibly, that might work for the bass reasonably well. Dual concentrics perhaps.. I personally feel / have heard that front loaded is the only way to go, less than 4 way problematic at best.
But it is a sliding scale of course. I'm not that into touring
