    THe LS90's are rated at 90db from 1 watt... shouldn't be too tough to drive them.

    Yeah but they can handle 250. I wanna feel those suckers!

    I just looked up the LS90 up and that thing looks mean! I hope someone's bringin' an amplifier with them. I don't have anything to truly power those up fully.

    If there's interest, I'll also bring my PAS-3 tube pre along with my table and phono stage. I could also bring my pair of modded CRS+.

    Going to try to get that Friday off so I can do the Usher thing. Then I'm free the rest of the weekend.

    I don't see how it'd hurt to bring it along. Never can have too many toys.

    Anyone up for grabbing a brew or two tonight?

    My competing trip is off, so now I just need to get my taxes out of the way... So....

    I'm in... I need the motivation to overcome my procrastination...

    Jim,
    Anything I/ we can offer to bring refreshment or food-wise?
    More later,
    Tour...

    Good question. I suppose anything is welcome. I'll cover the burgers and grab some sodas. I'll probably end up getting a case or two of brews too. It's the first time I've ever done anything like this, so I'm not really sure.

    Take it from someone who has, Jim. Keep it at that and call it a day. For many other reasons other than cost out of pocket. :wink:

    Don't worry Jim, I always put out a glass, preferrably a Pilsner style for donations to the event. You'll be reimbursed for your efforts, just do what you want to do. Throw a good party, the rest will fall into place, and you have my and others full support.

    If you don't want to do food, don't. I'll take up a pizza collection at a moments notice (ask Doro), and we will get our order on.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Jim, update the first post with all the latest details so folks don't have to scan through all the posts. Be sure to include when you want folks to show up and more importantly, when you want them to leave.

    As of today, I'm in.
