Hi all,
Some of you here may know that by Summer's end, I will be in a new house. Today, I met with the woman who is working on our floor plans. Durning our meeting, we started discussing (non house) topics and...(I am not sure how it even came up) but...the long and short of it is...this woman's Father-in-law (deceased) was a HUGH McIntosh fan! She told me she has his McIntosh TUBE gear in storage! Yikes! I told her that I was VERY interested in putting together a TUBE system. She said to me..."I don't know why I didn't think of you before". This woman knew that I am interested in AUDIO gear since she is designing me a dedicated AUDIO room. I also learned that this woman is currently using a pair of KLIPSCH speakers in her Den that also belonged to her Father-in-law! The woman told me that she and her husband are NOT audiophiles...however...the Father-in-law left them some McIntosh equipment (perhaps a receiver?) that they infact do use. I also learned that the Father-in-law died at age 85. He was a BIG fan of the MET Opera and listened to the LIVE AT THE MET broadcast on Saturdays. After I told the woman that I too enjoyed Opera and was once a student of renowned Opera Teacher/Singer (and former MET Opera star Martial Singher) I got the impression that the woman was more interested in seeing someone like YOURS TRULY acquire this gear! OH BABY! Now...this woman is NO fool and understands that this gear has value. This is by far not yet a DONE DEAL!
That being said...I think I might be able to swing a good deal! Anyway...this is the type of DREAM I have always hoped would happen to me and...it may be coming true! I should find out next week what the McIntosh gear she has stored away. So...please....send me GOOD wishes. Oooh...what MCINTOSH Tube amp should I HOPE and PRAY might be awaiting me? Also...I don't know what KLIPSCH speakers she has but...from her brief discription...I am betting they are CORNWALLS! Ummm...wonder if I could acquire them as well? Hey...it could happen lol.
Regards,
SixCats!
