Tom the one to which you refer is the Bay Area Audiophile Society started by Victor.Yes it is $15 to join
Approximately 6-7 years ago I started another BAAS which I called Bay Area Audio Society which now consists of 25-30 audio and videophiles around the SF Bay Area. We meet 3-4 times per year, have no dues, have a great time listening to music or watching great video but we have no shlepp to get discounts at CES
I hosted a recent BAAS meeting 2 weeks ago where Keith Yates was our guest speaker. Most everyone know Keith and his accomplishments. Keith spoke extensively on taming LF in rooms and showed detailed plans on jobs in which he is involved.
Several Forum members here are members of our BAAS including astrotoy and my namesake, the other Steve Williams (steveidosound), and JeffS and have attended several of our meets. We welcome any and all who are interested to join.
