the gears are always turning..

Ahhhh, so THAT explains that grinding sound I've been hearing...    :rofl:

I have not pulled any triggers.. just thinking.. that is all!  Now, back to the grind(ing). ;)
I really enjoy listening to music.

We'll have to go for a private AN audition party at AA, or maybe sign them out over the weekend, they do offer that.

And don't forget...

Randy over at Audio Advice says he has the Tritons set up for demo right now. Maybe it's the same demo I heard at Music Matters. I asked if it's possible to use different electronics, like an ARC integrated or something to get that Mac preamp out.

Should we try to meet up over there sometime for a group audition?

I'm going over there on Friday afternoon.  In addition to the Triton 2s, they've got the new Aerial 7Ts setup and burning in and I'm dying to hear them.  I think they're targeted to replaced both the 9s and the 7Bs.  It'll be interesting...

Hey, we should convince Randy to offer us a group buy! 

richidoo

I'll check my schedule - what time Friday?

Better leave that checkbook at home big guy...  You need to sleep on it first....

mdconnelly

Rich - I'm thinking early afternoon but need to coordinate a few things first before I can commit.  I'll let you know...

Carlman

Friday works for me.. just not necessarily between 1-4 PM.. After and before should work.  I can bring my Belles 21a if they'd allow it.
I really enjoy listening to music.

I think Randy will only be there in the afternoon which is why I'm targeting that timeframe. 

Carl!  A new AN picture!  It's gonna be a big year - I can feel it!  :rofl:

OK, I'll check on the time, should work for me. I want to be done by 4 to get the hell out of N. Raleigh before traffic.

C'mon Carl what's more important than a speaker audition?  :-P

Or, I could just order a pair and sell them if I don't like.. They're new, should be easy to turnover. hmmm.. the gears are always turning.. Oh, and I have to wonder if these would sound good with a Pass Aleph 5 running these... double hmmmm...  :-k

That's what I like about you Carl.... always thinking.  8)

Guys:

Have fun!  I wish I were going to be back in Raleigh in time to join you but I don't think I can make it!

I do look forward to hearing your comments!

Of course you can drop in anytime by yourself Ken, since it's pretty close by...

Randy emailed me that he has them on Arcam electronics now. He said he will connect any electronics he has. I asked for ARC VSi60.

This is the first published review, came out Dec 27, 2010.

It is also in the current issue of Sound & Vision. I have read it but I don't remember what it says. :?   I guess I better check it again. Those midfi reviews always say the same thing, "Thanks for ordering so many ads."

I try my best to stay away from that store!  $$$$  :rofl:  I will be wanting to part with $$$$ from my wallet!

Have fun!
