HI Everyone., Anyone interested in a GPAC audio meet? I'd be willing to host one (been a while since I did that anyways). Let me know. Either this coming, Saturday, or the next one, or even the next. Let me know what works for you guys (let me know by email) and i'll get back with a definite day). Time: 2-5 pm. Let me know what Saturday works for folks who are interested. -akhilesh PS We'll be listening to a lot of gear: Klipschorns (updated crossver) with an 845 amplifer, teresonic magus lowther dx3 single drivers driven by a 45 amp, the DCa 5.5 drivers in a pawo horn and my altec Vott variant triamped with a pushpull 12ax7/el84 for the midwoofs, and a set 12ax7/el84 for the horns. Heck we can even listen to a nice old pair of restored advents that sound pretty sweet. I don;t have much space for anyone else's gear, but folks are encouraged to bring their own program material. If someone has a sweet pushpull amp (el34 or el84) please let me know (we can use that for the dca setup). -akhilesh
I'd like to get together with you and hear your latest setups. We all met at Steve Brown's place in December and it was great to see everyone. Steve makes some really nice sounding tube amps, and he unveiled one for us there. We can also discuss plans for LSAF. Lots of neat things are going to be there this year. Watch this website for more details.
Love to meet. I've got a PP EL84 and PP6L6 if either are of interest, oh, and a PP 300B.
Sounds great, Steve & Wayne! How does next SAturday, the 2nd of Feb ( Groundhog day) sound? Steve, any of those amps sounds great! One with maximum bass would be good, since the DCA5.5 like an amp that has good bass. SO bring along whatever you think is suitable. Any others up for it? -akhilesh
I know, and I had to miss that one since I was out of town. -akhilesh
Wayne, No doubt about Steve's tube amps and preamps. My main system consists of his home-built EL34 triode-strapped single ended monoblocks and a built to my custom request 6SN7 preamp which has some really "big-tone" sound to it!

Saturday February 2 works for me. That's a great date. I'll pen it in on my calendar.
Awesome. See you both there. -akhilesh
Feb 2 sounds good to me too, I have a show to do this Saturday. Bill W.
But It'll be at Colleen's Collectables record show in Columbus.
Awesome Bill. See you on the second! -akhilesh
Hey, Akhilesh, can you please email me w/an address and time you'd like to start this? Thanks!
Sorry Akhilesh, I won't be able to make it Saturday, I just got booked for another show then. I'll be setting up sound equip. and doing soundcheck when you're having it. Maybe next time. Bill W.
Steve, You have mail Bill, Sorry about your not attending. Hope to see you again soon buddy (LSAF?) -akhilesh
Enjoyed the last two meetings and really want to come to this one since meeting you and seeing what a 4" speaker can do at the Great Plains AudioFest! Where is the meeting being held? Need an address please. I look forward to Saturday.
HI Jim, Sent you the info by mail. See you tomorrow! Get some Cds you like. -akhilesh
I just wanted to thank you for hosting the meeting. I sure enjoyed it and even the weather cooperated. I've heard much about Klipschorns but never got to hear them until now, enjoyed them the most of the several systems we heard. The music was excellent!
Thanks Akhilesh for being a gracious host of our group meeting today. I enjoyed the good comapany and listening to your stereo systems. If I had to make a choice as being the most balanced with fullest sound character of the group. My nod would go towards the Larry Moore 845 SET and Klipsch corner horn combination. And David Merrill's 5.5 fullrange driver wasn't to bad being driven by Steve Brown's PP 300B amp either. All in all, it was good fun, and I am looking forward to the next meeting. Almost as much as I am looking forward to LSAF in May. Norris
welcome Jim! Glad you could make it. -akhilesh
Thanks Norris. Glad you had fun and could make it. thanks -akhilesh
Definitely - thanks, Akhilesh. Everything sounded great. Give Aprajita all our thanks too for letting all us guys move in and take over for the sake of sound.
Good having you over Wayne! Visit with you again real soon. -akhilesh
