And the winner is... |

|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 359 Registered: Feb-07 | I thought it was just me... pretty esoteric selection of speakers. |
|
Gold Member Username: Frank_abelaBerkshire UK Post Number: 2459 Registered: Sep-04 | Indeed - no Dynaudio, Totem, Avi, B&W, PMC, ATC, ProAc... Thoroughly representative then. Regards, Frank. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1413 Registered: Oct-04 | I wish we could arrange a little get-together of our own someday. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8973 Registered: Dec-04 | I wonder how the test would go with electrics which are a bit more...representative of availability, shall we say? |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1414 Registered: Oct-04 | As opposed to custom tube mono-blocks? The sweet-spot in the market, IMHO is the sub-$500, or even the sub-$300 category. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8977 Registered: Dec-04 | Cripes, if CM arranges the get-together, we will have a campfire and tents in the parking lot of a Super8. Or all sleep in his restaurant. Jab.Jab. |
|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 360 Registered: Feb-07 | I nominate David McCoy to host the get-together. Based on this thread: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/377431.html Can I get an amen? |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1415 Registered: Oct-04 | That would be an option if this restaurant were ever to open. Personal Training is looking better & better. We don't have a Super-8 in Brooklyn last I checked. It would be worth it just to try and get Jan, Wiley & Peter in the same room. I would travel up to the Canadian nether-lands to see that. Perhaps Eddie would leave up his Sherpa job for just such a shin-dig. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1417 Registered: Oct-04 | Or this guy's house http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10834 (Thanks Jan) |

Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 361 Registered: Feb-07 | I forgot about that guy. That dude is an audio super-freak. |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1418 Registered: Oct-04 | Obviously a wifeless audio super-freak. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8979 Registered: Dec-04 | Oh shite, at McCoy's place for certain. Tents on the lawn in Sunny CA. Crash his pad for a weekend, introduce him to the local senoritas. And crank the hell oughtta his house! |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5484 Registered: Feb-05 | "I wish we could arrange a little get-together of our own someday." That's actually happening with some friends on another forum. I think the problem with ecoustics is distance and disparity. There is a wide distance between many of the old timers here and a wide disparity in income and mobility. The other forum I'm on most folks are in the same income bracket I'm in and many of them live nearby (it's a bigger forum with many more members). I've been a member there as long as here but have less than 10% of the posts there that I have here...wish some of us lived nearby.... I know of at least one Northwesterner, I didn't forget you David! |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8980 Registered: Dec-04 | Karma has quite a fest.. I may just have to hoist a Scotch up tonight rather than expose myself as a 4'8" female impersonator. Black. In a Kilt. Yeah, take a picture of that.  |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5485 Registered: Feb-05 | They do, in Michigan...also have regionals including one here in the NW. Also members who live within close proximity tend to keep in touch. Nice sense of community. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1420 Registered: Oct-04 | Wouldn't shock me. |

Silver Member Username: ChicomoralessxmDutch islesCaribbean Post Number: 189 Registered: Feb-07 | Well i'd have to agree lots of these speakers in that shootout are not household names to me? Why tubes? Would have been nice to be a setup of equipment some on here actually own(excluding the junk i have lol) Well when you guys finally decide on place or venue let me know i dont midn donating toward some after the testing booze whiskey cognac or rum? |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8998 Registered: Dec-04 | Why tubes, Chico? Why not? As long as the electrics are used throughout the test, it's fair to all, like a golf tourney. However, the esoteric kit used here might favour a strong midrange performing speaker, just like some courses are expected to reward a strong short game. A speaker like the Rogers 3/5a shoulda been there, the 3/5se is a grand or so. |
