Oh, and Emil, my dad's kid brother lives in Port Jeff and I took the liberty of inviting him.
Barry - Carpool it is! :beer:
Hi Emil,
I'm planning to attend. Will bring beer and loose women. :roll:
Rollo, if you're manning the loft system, let me know if any equipment is needed.

It's heating up. Sloooooowly, Emil is taking over what Phil's used to be.... the biggest event of the year?????!!!!! :beer:
And to think this used to be a family friendly site
Maybe we can actually convince Robin to make a trip down. After all, there's this years Satfrat award to be handed out and the annual winners picture to be taken.
I'm out, I've been summoned to produce my son for family inspection over the holiday.
And I did want to hear the new Maggies. Heck, I'd like to hear old Maggies for that matter.

Just happen to have a pair of 3A's with 3.6 ribbons for sale. They can be had for $900. :drool:These were my personal reference before the Pipedreams graced our home.
Hogg I'm game if Emil is. The Naska amp sounded VG with the Lenehans so maybe the Naska and the Goldpoint passive. Or ??? Up to you. Thanks Hogg.

Its one week from today :thumb:
I'm putting together my menu for the rave so how many here are vegetarians? I know of one that's coming so I want to be considerate.
Has anyone reading this not RSVP-ed? Anyone who has coming with someone?
I would like to get a good count. Want to make sure there is enough for everyone.

Oh please no - I've heard enough about that. Seems everyone is concerned for everyone but the actual victims, the kids.
Funny, all of a sudden Joe PA has cancer, interesting timing on that nugget being released.
Now to return to the topic - I'm feeling some speaker Nervosa, can I be listed as 'tentative' for now? I do want to hear the Maggies.
Greg P. and myself will be attending.

Yeah, feel bad for JoePA as an individual, in fact for anyone with potentially deadly diseases like that, regardless of anything else.

I'm looking to swap my surf for more turf. Any takers?
I will be attending as long as I can get a ride. Planning on going with Evan.
Here's a few interesting surf and turf suggestions. However, if any of these show up on the plate I'm not going to eat them - I'll stick to pretzels and chips :shock:

Thanks again,

Emil thanks for a great day. Kinda thought Satfrat would have made the trip. Maggies sounded great. Unfortunately the Lenehan S2 left little to be desired for me. The ML1 stole my breath when I first heard them. Maybe the S2 needs more breaking in or it was just the room they were in.
Charles we will have to set up a demo of them in my system soon , please.
Thanks again Emil! It was nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new folks.
A couple of quick shots.

thanks for phoning in that bomb threat and keeping the cars off the LIE.

Emil, thanks for a great day! Good people, good food, great sound! What more could a guy ask for...
Your new Maggies do sound good, enjoy them for a good long time!
Thank you so much Emil! You are great host. The meeting was great, good time, people, music, etc. The New Maggs are awesome!

OK, now that the formalities are out of the way, it was great seeing all you
other guys again. It's been a long time since anyone threw a big rave with everyone invited. Thank you all for your effort in heading all the way out east to Emil's remote hut at the nether ends of Long Island. There were some heroic efforts at attending made by many.
A couple of highlights for me ...
- replacing the Shunyata power cord on the integrated amp with Pete's cable - this was an all around good thing that balanced out the sound of those Maggie's greatly. They souonded very fine indeed.
- hearing the Qol processor on the smaller Gallow speakers - I'm not sure that what this unit did for the Maggie's was a good thing, but I did like it on the small Gallow speakers Barry brought over. Lots of space and air and more detail. This is not something that needs accentuating on the Maggies, and it proved to be too much there for my ears, but it made the Gallo's sound tremendous.
- the weather was stupendous - a month ago a rave had to be cancelled for snow, and yesterday we had temps in the high 60's. Global warming?
Thanks,
Bob

We know Mike, and we appreciate it! We even talked about it a bit, and how much we missed seeing you. Glad to see you're still checking in, and hope all's well!
I have some pictures. But, I don't have any for the most important part, the feast part. When the few of us downstairs heard dinner was being served, we were late. So, the thought was stuff-up first, so didn't take any to prove the food spread.... sorry! Uploading was also a bit tough because of size, tho the pictures have been reduced.
Can't say enough thanks to Emil. We had a blast, as always. :lol:
More.... :lol:
More.... :lol:
Thanks Emil, it was worth 10 hours in the car to hear the Maggies.
The Lenehans were also nice, that pair just needs a little more break in.
Didn't spend much time with the Qol as I wanted to hear the Maggies by themselves, but when it was engaged it reminded me a lot of my old Carver Holographic Generator, restoring directional cues to live recordings.
My favorite gizmo was Martin's Felix power conditioner, removed the 'ringing' in higher range of music in digital source material.
Hey Martin, can you send me the recipe for that build?
Finally, what a spread!!! :thumb: I could have dove into the eggplant pan and done the backstroke while gorging myself on it. Broke my heart to see the deserts coming out as I was leaving, but I had to get on the road.

I think December and January are open
And here is my little video of the Maggies in action

A big thanks to Emil. A beautiful home, great food and fine tunes. Nice to see all the Ravers again. Hope all enjoyed the toys. The Lenehan S2 had about 5 hours on them. At the end of the day after 8 hours of play they began to open up big time.
A big thanks to Hogg for bringing the Naska amp, Linn CDP and Quad Preamp for the Loft system. Thanks to Lonewolf for lugging the speaker stands. The Lenehans love that Naska.
A great day for all thanks. Nice photos Shek.

Big THANK YOU to Emil for the hospitality and all that attended for the fun time.
This was my first time to Emil's hideaway, I think he has some kind of space bending thing going on, his house felt much bigger inside than one would think viewing from the outside. :lol:
The dedicated audio/visual room is a blast, one can lose track of time down there. The Maggies looked great. Didn't get to hear what they could do with my music, but from the little I did hear (orchestral music) I think it needs a 'bigger' amp to sound even more wonderful...wonderfuller. :thumb:
When I did return, the Gallos were being set up...later on Charles demoed the Qol(?) in line and switched out, the soundstage collapsed with the Qol switched out on the Gallos, amazing device.
Upstairs in the loft area, the Lenehans speakers started out sounding pretty bland and bloated, possibly due to its virgin status, it was a tough space, half wall on the left with a sloping ceiling and open hand rail on the right with horizontal ceiling. Towards the end, it had come a long way and the sound was quite decent, way better than it started.
Food was finger licking good, loved the avocado dip, veggie lasagna was very yummy ...desserts were bountiful, a perfect compliment to the coffee.
Excellent rave Emil, thank you very much. Good food, great friends= fun time...all 7+ hours.
Thanks to all that brought equipment, slogging all that stuff around is not easy.
Emil,
Thanks you for hosting another great Rave at your home. As usual you did a bang-up job; great food and libations and delicious deserts :D
I really like the new Maggies in the basement. What a wall of sound :) I liked the Maggies without the sub. I also liked Charles' ambient recovery device. It presented a very 3-D image with the speakers.
I liked the Lenehan speakers but like Evan wasn't as bowled over by this pair as I was with the ML1's at my home. Perhaps more run-in is needed before making comparisons.
Emil, thank you again; and thanks to your patient family for allowing us to take over your home on a Saturday afternoon.
Jim
I see Chris is the only one that assumed the proper speaker pose (beer in hand)... :rofl:
Looks like you guys had a great time! Thanks for the photos. :thumb:
Thanks Emil for having us animals at your home. As is often the case at these raves, I found that your Maggies in their original configuration was the best sound of the day. Thanks also for somehow magically removing traffic from the Cross Island and LIE, and making our trip there and back that much better.
Mike Fox
Emil,
Thanks for hosting a fine Rave. You are such a great host!
Great food, music, people, that's what it's all about.
Your Maggies sounded wonderful. For music, I like it better without the sub.
The Lenehan speakers sounded pretty good, but needs more time for break-in.
All in All a fun Rave.
Joe
Nice pics shek. Good pic of Charlie! Emil you have a beautiful home, it is a warm feeling to see it filled with so many friends having fun. Sounds like the Maggies went over big! Makes me want to try a pair of those.
Rich
Thank you Emil....excellent Rave!!! :beer:
For those that left early....you missed Peter Gabriel on the big screen.....good stuff. :thumb:

Ooooh. I saw that Gabriel show live. Awesome segment you have there where he walked around inside that big bubble, especially when he began bouncing it in time to the music. He was also playing with a Segway on stage at one point during that show.
Emil - Even though you live near the end of the earth, it is always more than worthwhile attending a Rave at your place. Great seeing some Ravers after quite a long time. The food in general was delicious but the chicken and Country apple pie in particular were outstanding. Had a lot of fun switching equipment upstairs. :thumb: :thumb:
So I let all the veterans speak, now it's time for the rookie to chime in. First of all, being the new guy, I definitely did not press the button. I really wanted to, but even the thought of being banished to the mean streets of Suffolk County for a Jersey guy. The horror.
Thanks to Evan and Joe for letting me hitch a ride with them and getting to hear Joe's Salks even at low volume (meow) was a bonus. The ride there and back was almost as much fun as the rave itself.
Great place you have Emil. Maggies sounded great and got to hear a lot of music I don't normally listen to. I'd kill to have a dedicated listening room that accomodates 2 CH and HT (left before the HT kicked in).
Food was extremely tasty and quite abundant. Glad everyone liked the Guac.
Finally, it was a pleasure to actually meet some people who enjoy the same thing I do. I knew you were out there. So many people think I'm crazy for this "hobby/obsession". A little positive reinforcement goes a long way. Now I just need to get the kahones to maybe host one of these myself.
Putz out.

I coerced the person to "press" the button...just like "Lost"
The devil in me made me do it!
Guys the only reason I got pissed off was that I asked to wait so I could talk a bit about it first as the dealer. Didn't think that was asking to much. That's all. All water under the bridge for me.
Anyway as you all heard the Maggie system was improved in weight, fullness, air, space, decay of notes, dimension and presence. Tonality was a bit bright at times with certain recordings and just to loud a level for Maggies.
The BSGT unit will reveal any nasties present in the chain or the recording. Sorry.
I would be happy to bring the BSGT unit over to ones home and system to evaluate properly.
The purpose was to introduce the product, talk about it a bit and offer free home demo. Unfortunately my presentation never happened. Oh well next time.
A great time no matter what. Pete stay away from the beer. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Whaat...there was a 'fight', and I missed it? :lol:
I missed the demo on the Maggies too...was I drunk and passed out under the sofa? :duh :rofl:
Oh well, only heard the Qol on the little Gallos. :-|

Oh yes you missed it was a 30 second rant by me only. Over, done and hopefully forgotten. :thumb:

The Lenehan S2 that was demonstrated is a prototype. We appreciate your comments and want more. Good or bad. We cannot learn a thing without input.
Since Mike Lenehan has made some changes in the crossover and internal bracing. Still a work in progress. When the final design is completed we will happy to demo again.
What we are really excited about is the new ML2R with 8" bass driver with Deuland caps and resistors. The S2 will be our entry level product at an introductory price of around $2800.
