I went to this event last year and found it more useful to the typical HT enthusiast than something like CEDIA, which is aimed more at the trade than end users. I participated in a couple of blind listening tests which really opened my eyes (ears?) on how difficult it can be to distinguish between well designed products. Just got a new Tesla and this looks like a good excuse for a long road trip. Also, KC has some great BBQ.

I thought MWAVE 2024 was great. My wife and kid enjoyed it as much as I did. I didn’t expect that. Thanks for organizing and putting it on.

You hear about Dolby Atmos, you hear about bass transducers, you see things like madVR, but to experience it is a whole ’nother thing.

I had a great time at MWAVE! It is an incredible event appropriate for enthusiasts of Home Theater!

MWAVE is not just an AV experience; it’s a pursuit to build a connected community of like-minded enthusiasts.
