In Reply to: RE: Speaking of "2001," I do a Deep Dive on three different "Also Sprachs." posted by John Marks on May 02, 2024 at 13:56:24
The first time I really heard that was at a way old CES show at McCormick place in Chicago.
On the trade show floor there were several different sets of large speakers i was gawking at and on the end of the last day, the owner, a guy named Gene said come back at 4.
This was Gene Cerwinski of Cerwin Vega displaying his large concert /theater speakers and at 4 he played that tune at full tilt. An Andy Fran guy was yelling at him to turn it off and you couldn't hear a word he said.
At the crescendo's end, Gene pulled the 4 cords in the outlet box and as the sound died, applause came from all around the hall.
That gave me goose bumps that had a lasting effect.
Follow Ups:
"applause came from all around the hall. "
Because the painful sound quality had finally ended? ;)

Could be, it was loud for sure but that was also a show where no audio on the floor was allowed which the mfr's never liked.
I was impressed to see the drivers and the horns used for the movie earth quake.
It turned out later on that a company not far from my old house called Hepner made a lot of the drivers.
was in Atlanta around 1973. It was held downtown with quite a few exhibitors.
There was a pair of ultra cool Infinity Servo-Statiks but alas they were just for show.
Cerwin-Vega was demonstrating one of their horn systems playing the Lalo Shifrin theme from Mission Impossible . My trousers were flopping in the breeze. Nothing resembling reality, but impressive nevertheless.
