Good review Rabbit.  I did not have a chance to hear the new speakers but it sounds like it's a work in progress.  It was a great time all around and it was nice to meet everyone and put a face to a name.  Look forward to going back next year.

DUDE!  How could you NOT get down there??!?

I got stuck in the hot tub drinking Michael Collins, Victory Storm King and smoking Acid Kuba Kuba's and medicinal herbs.  It was rough....  8)  Throw in a freshly modded C-19, 3 Sunfire subs, a VPI Classic Turntable and a pair of Sunfire CRM-2's, it was tough to leave the Watershed.

Be patient Rev... You will hear them... 8)

Ryan.

You are a VERY luck boy, getting the OK. When these speakers are finished you are going to have a hard time finding a better pair for less than 40K

A few more pics I found...

The Tom's giving the ALIII's another shot


A bad tube that was causing issues for BrianT's Silver 7's.  You can't see it clearly but "DEAD" is written on it.  Can you guess what number the tube was?

PS - If I do go, I'm going to suggest to the Bob that he considers producing a line of headphones.

That's a great idea Kingman. If I ever build my own headphones, I'm going to call them "Shitcanned"!!!!!!!

Most impressive and I'll bet it warms the room in more than one way.  I didn't see a pre-amp or phono section.
