    Rich, did you get to hear that $40k amp? What amp is that 845 in?

    Yes, with Carl and Ed at the NY audio show. Coincident Turbo 845SE.

    I wonder how that coincident compares to my monoblocks. Same tube array, just in one chassis.

    Any clue what that sells for off the top of your head?

    IIRC $5K or $6K.

    Not sure what show special they might have had. Some will have a card showing x% off, some you can ask what the show special might be. I've purchased gear prior to shows at reduced rates and it was shipped to me after it was over.

    Some pics from our Thanksgiving family trip to see my folks in Santa Fe, NM

    The Rio Grande Gorge bridge outside of Taos - absolutely stunning - and frigidly cold that day:

    A trail close to my folk's house in Santa Fe looking west to the Jemez Mountains:

    And the gate to my folk's house:

    That bird looks like a real character! All birds seem to love water. Our cat, Ok to drink but don't put me in it! He found a spider in the walk in shower once and still hunts there. So tempted to turn the water on when he is in there but don't want to deal with the collateral,,,lol

    Very nice! I am new to this area; just moved to Mukilteo from Orlando, FL. So I deal with the Whidbey Island ferry traffic regularly lol. I love it here, but dang it's cold for this Floridian! Haha. I love that there is a much bigger music culture here than I ever saw in Florida.

    A so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

    Why, thank you.......but it's not mine. I'd bet the sound would be a real pleasure to listen too though, fo' sho'.

    Congrats on the move! It is beautiful up here, and we do have a great music, and HIFI culture. PM me if you ever want to come over and spin some tunes.

    This should give you a scale of just how big the speakers pictured above are...the Avalon Tesseracts, that is....much bigger than I had thought. How big is your next speaker build, Face?

    Not quite that large. :eek:

    But 10ft^3 probably isn't a whole lot smaller.

    FYI, they're using Acoustic Elegance (sub)woofers with Accuton for the rest. At least $6k in drivers alone, per speaker.

    It's more than halfway done. The speaker itself I hope to have complete in a month or two, finishing will have to wait till warm weather though.
