$125,000 Audio Note speakers at GPAF?
type: item
description: Yo Dave, I was looking around on your website this evening and saw the silver AN E speakers you brought to MAF. Brought back memories. I remember the hub-bub over yonder about them just before the show. I remember helping you carry them up to the room in Lima. And I remember thinking how nice the wood finish looked. Audio Note E Sogon Speakers Looks like Peter added a crossover box, and your site says it's wired with silver parts, just like the voice coils and interconnects. I was wonderin', are you bringing those $125,000 speakers to GPAF? Wayne

description: Nope, sorry Wayne, those babies went back to England - most likely to Peter Q's listening room - after CES! Actually, every single inch of the signal path in our entire CES system was silver. Those speaker crossovers weigh close to 50lbs each. Surprised we weren't boarded by pirates! I haven't decided which E's to bring. Could be SPe's like MAF, or Lexus with (copper) external crossovers, or an older pair of SE Silvers which are holding forth in my living room currently. Besides the E's, I'll be bringing more modestly priced AZ Twos and probably AX Two's as well. I still hope to have my Kit Pre built by then, but the 2A3 amp won't be. Haven't seen the iron yet, and that one's a scratch built deal. Other electronics will include the new M3 pre-amp, Quest Silver mono blocks, CDT2/II, (but not the CDT1/II, which won't be shipping until after the show), DAC3.1x Bal and DAC1.1x MkII. Probably an integrated amp as well, and the Kit 4. I'd like to bring an M1 or M2 and a Conqueror, but I'll run out of room before I get to them, I'm afraid. Man, I wish my Volvo wagon had a roof rack . .. . . .

description: Yes, I did. Looking forward to hearing them. I have a couple friends who are complete Altec freaks. Unlike MAF, I AM going to hear other things at this show. I'll have a "Be Back at x:xx sign ready to hang! Won't take more than a couple breaks, but I'm still bugged about things I missed at MAF due to own stupidity.

description: We all had the same problem at MAF. I think Friday will sort of turn into exhibitor day, where we all setup and visit one another. We'll see each other power up and get a sample of the gear. Then Saturday afternoon will be when most of the attendees come and the rooms are all playing sweeeet music.
