Attendance was noticeably higher this year, especially on Friday. We hand out free AudioXpress magazines each year and this year we ran out by midday Friday. So thanks to everyone for coming to the show!

There were storms the week preceding the show in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri but they cleared out on Thursday. The whole weekend was beautiful!

We had our usual eclectic mix, with lots of high-end and quality-obsessed DIY gear represented. This is so typical of LSAF, and has become what people expect to see and hear.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous all weekend, which set the tone for the show. I don’t know if it was just me, but I thought everyone seemed to be in an especially good mood. I think LSAF 2018 was our best year ever!

There were lots of rooms with a little bit for every taste. We had rooms with direct radiating speakers. We had three rooms with horns or waveguides. And we even had one room that was dedicated to headphone listening.

Price points were varied too, with many rooms showing affordable gear and some rooms with systems more expensive than most peoples’ homes. So like I said: We had something there for everyone!
