Starting the thread now since we are mere months away. I just booked two different rooms for this year and hope to not only represent my business but also Polk. My first room is expected to consist of the Usher Be-10, Dayens monoblocks and preamplifier, Marantz source, and Wireworld cabling. My second room will be dedicated to Polk - the Signature Series and Magnifi Mini - and will also include the Dayens Ampino integrated, iFi Stereo 50, and Marantz sources and Wireworld cabling. This will be 'real-world' pricing with the most expensive system likely not exceeding $2500.
I do have an extra bed if someone wants to help cover the cost of a room with me, but the catch is that I have to have access to the main room at all times and use some of the bedroom for boxes and such. The perk is you would be on the main floor of the show.
Come see us dudes! Always a good time is had and many friendships are kindled here. This is a retreat studded in audiophilia.

I am going to try and see if I can make it happen this year.
If thats the case, I "may" be interested in the extra bed to help save costs (since I will have to fly in)....
Let me do some talking and budgeting and get back to you.
In with 43, great karma!
