I am, but I still have a ton of work to do (like Grumpy wants to hear this!). I still have my 4 Advents to clean up and make prettier.
What's Friday looking like??? My plans/availablility will depend on what I get caught up with around here

My flight departs Calgary Thursday evening so I'm a little more than 30 hrs from starting my trip.
Only a tiny set of speakers will be coming with me so I hope there is a sub to go with em. I'll be bringing a few tunes, gonna try to bring stuff that might be more "local" or that most of you folks may not have had the chance to listen to.

Well, I have a room which will have a small set of speakers (Royd Envoys) on stands, a Denon PMA-500V integrated and an old Denon DCD 520 CD player (which will be for sale at the fest). I thought I wouls bring these small speakers, as they show off what a well-designed small speaker can do. Of course, I will have music also!!!
It will be fun!!! :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

I'll be bringing 4 Large Advents to stack, my Marantz 2265B to drive them and my Toshiba SD-3960 DVD as a source. I'll have a bunch of CDs too, mainly classic rock, blues and some jazz and perhaps one or two classical discs. I'll drag a few lps, spec sheets and other stuff for swap/donations and prolly some of my "fire sale" stuff too.
This is going to be freaking great!! :banana: :yes: :banana: :yes:
Well, as long as I'm not within earshot of that funky music playing white boy from Okemos. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Punker X
04-06-2005, 01:36 PM
One pair will be there, the other is missing some drivers right now. One of the new woofers had the dust cap come unglued and two upper woofers were sent back because they didn't match cosmetically. If Ohm gets them back to me by early Friday and there is enough room in the van there may be two pair there.
Also bring my Marantz 250/1200 combo to bi-amp, a Kenwood 700c/m combo, a pair of VTL MD-100 monoblocks and my Oracle Delphi Mk5.

I'm curious what do tube guys listen to Disco; Rap; Tony Orlando and Dawn; K C and the Sunshine Band? :D
It should be easy to identify me l'm a sort of older, larger, sexy Brad Pitt type of guy. :lmao:

I can remember during my trip to NYC marveling about how friendly the people were there, but actually they were just talking to me because they wanted to hear my southern accent. Anything I can do to make someone's day is okie dokie with me. See y'all at AK fest!
