    Killed half a handle of Beam last night (not by myself).

    I've had 3 EVIL bowel movements so far today. Pure evil.

    Cheers,

    Troy, what time are we starting up tomorrow? I've got my two installers interested in coming to the Fest. They were excited to see some real gear at my home as oppossed to the mini systems they are used to doing. Both worked for Tweeter so they are already Polk fans.

    Ah...Should I bring my Anthem amps and Pre 2L? I have one in the car already along with the pre and I will leave them unless we won't have a use for it. It will be the first time listen for me as well. All have killer tubes for listening although the CCA's haven't been broken in yet.

    And might I say, so far the LSi9 has stole the show...

    An impressive all around performer... sound stage isnt out of this world... but very smooth, clean, slightly to laid back for me...
