Yeah, I know it's a little early but I'm hoping to scrape enough wampum together to complete my home theater deal.

I'm looking to get two K-501's at about $90 a pop and two K-502's at about $140 a pop. Add to that the Outlaw 950 (unless something newer and cheaper comes out from Outlaw) for about $800

So, I need 4 amps totalling about $460 and an HT pre-amp/processor for about $800. So for $1260, I'd be a happy camper! I'd also like a new soldering station like a Weller WP35.

I'd also like shackles for the rear of my truck to level it out.

    An endless bottle of rum, and a 36-38D Redhead to go with it.

    Cheers,

    A few different brands of output tubes to play around with. Of course, they're going to be a gift for myself:).

    Yup, just as I thought!

    My electronic Christmas came early with my LSi's and FX30's.

    My real Christmas present will hopefully be a healthy new baby boy. (Within a few months the LSi's will come off of stands and turn to wall mounted fronts)


    Note to self: try to figure out how to mount PSW to the ceiling so he won't put vanilla wafers into the ports.

    Must be nice being married. I haven't gotten lavish gifts like those for about 7 years now. :rolleyes: ;):p


    I really just want to have a good time with the family as always.

    Although a big screen would be nice.

    about the only thing I really want this X-Mas is a B&K preamp.

    oh yeah there are other things I'd love to have as well.. but the preamp is numero uno... and if I could get that.. i'd be very happy this holiday.

    Right now I'm kinda at a loss. As Christmas grows closer and I start looking at stuff more, I'm sure my list will stretch to Tunisia, but right now it's not too long. It just has some expensive stuff on it. :(

    I've thought about just asking for money, as that seems like a pretty good idea to start saving up a stash and maybe even start a savings account. (At 16, yer lookin' at a lot of expensives in the future with probably not a lot of money in yer pocket.)

    In the event I forget about being mature and responsible and decide I have to have the material things (yeah; I'm sure this is what I'll choose), I'm trying to decide between two things. First off, I really need a better source than my computer for my audio setup. I'm looking at Yamaha's DVD-S1500 (if ya know anything about it or if ya know of somethin' I should get in it's stead, post it under electronics; my thread has seemed to have died).

    The other thing I want is (wow; it's Yamaha, too; just realized that) a keyboard. I've forgotten the model number (believe it's P-120), but it's $1500. As the times aren't doin' too well, I imagine I'll have to scale back just a lil' bit on my wish list.

    Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll add a ton of stuff to my list before long, but that's where it stands right now.
