Loudspeaker Hero Floyd Toole and the "Audio Orgy" on the Lake

What happens when some of the world's top loudspeaker designers gather for an entire weekend to talk acoustics, research, and speaker design? Last September, we traveled to Muskoka, Ontario, for the second annual loudspeaker designer retreat, bringing together NRC alumni, industry veterans, and international guests L. Paul Hales (California), who founded Pro Audio Technology, and Martijn Mensink (Netherlands), co-founder of Dutch & Dutch. Highlights include: Floyd Toole's rare presentation covering decades of loudspeaker research Conversations with the people who helped shape modern speaker design Why collaboration—not competition—is driving the industry forward Behind-the-scenes interviews for our upcoming documentary This wasn't a trade show. It wasn't a product launch. It was a weekend of engineers, designers, and researchers sharing ideas that have shaped high-fidelity audio for decades. #audiophile #hifi #stereo
