What gear do you hope to aquire in the next 1-2 years??

I thought about that a good deal on the 1300 mile drive from San Antonio to Charleston.....

Here is some stuff that I would like to aquire in no particular order:

good cd player (that is top of the list)

AR-9's (new, well, hell, I would take a vintage pair as well)
Boston Acoustic A - series, either A40's or A100's
Magnepan MMG's
B&W bookshelves currently held by another forum member
GAS ampzilla//Thalia or Theobe preamp
Phase Linear preamp/amp ( a vintage rig would have a high cool factor)
cable/interconnects for experimentation
smaller SDA's
Carver Amazing's (that's prolly not going to happen)
Dahlquist passive sub and x-over
Carver amps (not really picky which ones)

just curious what things you guys are drooling over...

    A couple decent sand or passive pre's (top priority now)
    Maggie MMG's
    JmLab Chorus 706's
    SDA 2b's
    Dahlquist DQ-10's
    AR302's
    Norh 3.0 (for the baby's room rig)
    2 Antique Sound Labs Monoblock tube amps (10wpc)
    Cary Tube Pre (very sexy)

    and last, but certainly not least, get the sub scene under control, Svs, or Diy.....

    I did score some Kef Cresta 2's yesterday for a Franklin....

    Cheers,

    I was almost ready to go with the Ryobi, but have heard good things about the Deere's. It'll run me about $250 for the top-o-line, but it should be the 'BOMB'.

    Can't wait to start some major wack'en.

    No. It's got a slight bend in the end. (not like Clinton though).

    You can also purchase other attachments like a, blade edger, a tree trimmer and a roto-tiller.

    Home Depot has'em. But I cannot find them on their website.

    Man, I'd watch those with attachments, I've heard as far as weed wackers go, straight shaft, the rest is crap......

    I've never seen a landscape company use anything other...and those bad boys have to WORK....

    Yeah, but they also spend $800+ on their's. They buy the super-duper industrial strength models. I know the model below the one I was looking at is a straight shaft, with attachments. Maybe I'll go that route. It's about $50 cheaper.
