Not a bad deal to me, MapQuest states 11 mins / 5.98 miles. Not as easy as the Hotel just south of me, But then again for 5.98 miles WTH.

Hotel just south of me.

Sir, would it be okay that I am a lightweight? alcohol tolerance that is. Or should I build it up to avoid waking up with felt tip drawn whiskers? I just now noticed deals on hotels and resorts at and around your place. I thought we are all pitching tents?

disneyjoe7

Halen,

You're fine with me if you never touch any Alcohol my girlfriend is a very little drinker also, so I feel you would be in good company. As far as pitching tents HeHe, backyard only the HOA doesn't like tents... But then again back yard is filled with a pool so even that maybe...

disneyjoe7

The LSiM707's are HERE!

Way Kool PolkAudio wink Al.

disneyjoe7

Ted, 2 or 3 in the house, and something to jam to by the pool. I thinking HT setup and a 2 channel setup, putting the Amazings either in the 2 channel setup or ? Will you by around to help me to setup?

Steve

Odysseous

Damn! I'm about a month early! I'm in Orlando with the family... How I wish Polkfest was this week so I could meet some of you guys and check out some rigs, listen to some music, etc... I'm also missing Carverfest next week, I have a conference in Las Vegas... This just wasn't my year.

engtaz

Your going to miss a couple of great fests, that's for sure.

JimAckley

Can't make it this year. I've got a long-awaited dyno appointment for my Silverado. Next year perhaps.

Gotta clear with work yet....lemme see and I will be in touch...looks like a great fest is certainly shaping up...just as always...the Polk's are going to blow people away...not to let too much out of the bag ahead of time this is definetly a statement speaker, they like clean power with quality gear upstream.

disneyjoe7

DAMN!

I hook up those LMi707 speakers, they sound great. WOW I'll play these for a couple days to break them in, but out of the box they sound GREAT! Wait didn't say that already? Everyone is getting happy about this PF over here, the house is coming together lots of changes. :eek:


Steve

disneyjoe7

Well you know what these speakers are called. Sorry Polk.

LSiM707

disneyjoe7

Can someone bring speaker stands with them? If I get the LSiM703 speakers I think some stands would be nice.

Fireman32

Ok flight is booked. Look forward to seeing everyone

disneyjoe7

Dave, flying into OIA?

Fireman32

No MCO. Oh wait that is the Orlando International Airport. Strange code.

JimMueller

Yeah, MCO=OIA. MCO refers to the airports former name, McCoy Airforce Base.

I still plan on being there, definitely Saturday, maybe Friday. Joe, if you need someone to help setup equipment give me at least a couple days notice and I should be able to assist. I can either come down in the evening after work or attempt to take the day off if given enough notice.

disneyjoe7

Nice Dave MCO or OIA same to me. In travel sites it's MCO.


Jim, I let you know thanks for the offer.

disneyjoe7

How's driving down?

Ted?

Jesse?

George?


Anyone bringing down equipment?

Because my house is an open family area, I don't think 3 system in the house will work. I use a bedroom for the 2 channel system, but I need some help for the 2 channel system, since my Halo A23 amp works ok but LSiM707 needs something bigger. I could use my CJ PV-5 amp, and my TT, also anyone could bring a stand for the LSiM703 speakers.


HT system in the Family Room. :biggrin:


So let's cap...

I got these, for the 2 channel room.

CJ PV-5 pre amp.

Halo A23 amp.

Yamaha YP-211 TT.


Anyone wish to bring anything higher?

May need a sub for the LSiM703 speakers, could anyone bring one? I'm going to use mine for the HT system.

Steve-- I'm bringing the tricked out Dared pre if you like,,I can also bring the Cornet that Rich built and a Cinemag SUT for the TT/cart--let me know.BTW--you should have your 5965's next week.

doctor r

Steve - I am going to bring may VAC PA100/100 power amp and VAC pre with MM phono. This tube amp can handle down to 1 ohm speakers at 105 Watts per channel so I was hoping it can drive the 707s. In addition I was debating about a bringing my CDP or turntable. I should be able to bring my monitor stands also. In addition I will bring some 3 meter speaker cables and ICs if it will help in swapping things around as the weekend goes along. Let me know.

I wish I could hear that, especially on the 3s.

The 707s need boatloads of power, so I hope someone is bringing something capable of at-least 350w at 4 ohms. I'm sure it's been discussed but I'm too lazy to look back through the thread

Bring it Thanks. If you're bringing cables, can you mark them some one so we know so you know you got your's cables back. Zip wire cable work ok, so you're not marking the cables directly.

doctor r

Excellent idea
