Yeah, coming up this Friday the 13th:eek:, do you believe that!!! I've been looking since the end of Dec., ever since I was a victim of corporate downsizing. The position is at Drexel University in Philly as the University Catering Director. A very fast paced, high pressure job. I'm psyched & ready to go. Wish me luck!!:) I already told the wife that when I get the job I'm going to celebrate & buy another toy for my system. Hmmmmm!! any suggestions?

    Good Luck. Not to be negative, but do not set yourself up for disappointment. Use the skills that got you the interview.

    Good luck, and go get it!
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    You should add, as you shake hands after saying "Yes", that you can't wait to start wrestling.

    Thanks everyone for all the support!!:)

    Mike,

    Close but no cigar. If anything speaker wise it would be the AAD 2003'3. But really the AAD 2001's are just so satisfying to me that I just might be going in a totally new direction. I've always had a fascination for McIntosh gear. Something about the look, the sound, the history, that has always peeked my interest. How does a MC402 or possibly a pair of MC501 mono blocks sound!!!!:D Well hell, this is all talk until I get the job.

    Sounds expensive to me:)

    Does that mean we may see the AVA amp posted here in FM one day? We very rarely see any modern AVA gear for sale.

    Ah, hell Mike, it's only money!!:eek: If I do go that route I don't know what I'd do with the AVA amp. Keep it for the surrounds (overkill I think) or sell it?
