And now for something completely different...
I've been kicking around the idea of a bunch of us driving down to Newport, OR to visit the Rogue Ales Public House:
http://www.rogue.com
I don't know about you, but when I see that many beer taps on the wall it just poses a challenge waiting to be taken up.
I was thinking about either Friday evening after setup or Saturday around dinner time. Let me know what you think.

Why do you think we love living here?
Portland's got something like 75 brewpubs. Just makes we wish I could be there. I want a report, Mark.

It's going to be a few very hectic days for me. Hopefully some of the other guys will post pictures and reviews.

You Snooze, You Lose
Sorry, but the attendee list is now closed.
Those who have already contacted me with RSVP's should have already received directions and a schedule for the weekend. I will be sending out e-mails on Monday just to check in with everybody and make sure you have the directions. We also want to make sure we have names correct for the nametags our host is making. The final attendee list on Audioholics and Audio Circle forums will be updated this weekend. There's still plenty of opportunities for carpools if you wish to contact each other.
We look forward to meeting everybody next weekend. We have a full house of people and a ton of gear to make it through in just one weekend.

Stop by for coffee
Since I live pretty much halfway between Portland and Lincoln City and directly on the path I thought that if anyone wanted to stop by for coffee and donuts or simply a bathroom break they would be welcome.
I plan on leaving here about 9:30 or so to head out to the event. We could carpool/caravan over as a group. That would put us there between 10:30 and 11.
Anyone interested just send me a PM and I'll let you know how to get to my house.

Had a great time Saturday. The weather was postcard perfect, 60 degrees, sunny, no wind except right on the beach for the kite flying festival. The only thing better was the gracious nature of the hosts.
Skiing Ninja Sean was there and finally got meet in person. His upgrade crossover business is exploding way beyond AV123 speakers. he is a dealer for Onix speakers and brought along a pair of Reference 3's with his crossover. Paired with some Modwright gear they sounded great in even with the challenges of the room.
Jim Salk was there demonstrating his soon to be released HT4's, HT3's and HT2's. Late in the afternoon the guys hauled out the Song Towers from his trailer. The HT4's are really something. The bass response kept me from feeling two cell phones as it was set to vibrate. Unfortunately I missed hearing the other HT's. The Salk speakers were powered by Van Alstine gear, a very nice combination sourced by a Squeezebox. I can't go without mentioning that Jim and his wife are fine people without airs.
Aperion Audio came with four staff members, including chief engineer Ken Humphreys. Fascinating to hear him talk, and humble enough to appreciate the sound of other manufacturers present. Aperion raffled off a pair of 6B monitors in cherry. The winner was Skeeter.
Got a chance to listen to the new budget brand EMP speakers from RBH. The mini floorstanders play damn good for $400. The consensus was they sounded far better than another brand present that I won't mention.
Upstairs during and right after lunch, SVS had a nice setup include a pair of their beastly subwoofers that were demoed right after lunch. I missed that as Sean and a few others were enjoying an after lunch beer in the driveway.
Thanks to the Audioholics store for providing a delicious catered lunch. Just wish I could be there today to hear Jim Salk's talk.
Sorry no pics, hopefully others, especially major loser will post.

Great people, nice weather, awesome equipment and good music. What could make a Saturay any better? Being a tube guy I was smitten by the Mod Wright pair. Being a big Klipsch fan I was a little disappointed by the lack of horns, but I was not disappointed in the sound of the systems present. Here are a few pics of the equipment Markmarc described above. I must say I was especially taken away by the HT4's. They played evrything that was thrown at them with authority, elegance, and grace. Norah Jones and Ray Charles sounded like they were in the room with you.

I'm back in Florida and working on the wrap-up comments and going through pictures.
For those of you that attended, please send me a PM and I'll give you all the information to add your pictures to the photo account. Then we can have one large file to post on all the forums instead of many posts.
We had a great time and met a bunch of super people. If anybody wants to volunteer their home next year, just let me know.
