Portland Oregon?

[Romeo Wolf]

I know there's a couple AK'ers who are Portland residents, except for me as I'm in the Vancouver/Camas WA area. Where are my fellow local AK members? Perhaps we can meet up someday

I'm in the same local if you have something in mind pm me, I am more of a budgetphile myself since I listen near field. I have my gear posted in my profile just not into big dollar systems by choice.

I'm in a 116yr old house in downtown Medford, upstairs dormer, Vandersteen 2Ce II's sound fine in a "smallish" room, 13.5' x 13.5'.

Camas here. We should grab a beer sometime.

New member- Vancouver
I'd be interested in grabbing some beer as well.

 

[Romeo Wolf]

I'm not a beer guy but I'd really like to bring my system (seeing as to how compact it is) to any upcoming events and see what some of you folks have to say about it. Especially since the weather is becoming nicer.

Another Portland thread here:

Any Portland Oregon clubs?

I have seen a few AK here from Portland Oregon, Vancouver WA area. Any interest in a local club? I am not an expert, but would love to learn and network with more knowledgeable members.

By rights, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark should be in semi-retirement, performing classics like Enola Gay and Joan Of Arc (Maid Of Orleans) on the nostalgia festival circuit like so many peers.
Instead, they've created a landmark album worthy of their finest work. Having made one of their most universally acclaimed albums last time out, when 2017's The Punishment of Luxury returned Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys to the Top Five for the first time since 1991's Sugar Tax, the duo have somehow managed to better it. Welcome to Bauhaus Staircase, both OMD's most explicitly political record and the crowning achievement of their desire to be both Karlheinz Stockhausen and ABBA.

McCluskey explains: "We've worked hard to rebuild ourselves since reforming, and we're in a wonderful position. We wouldn't forgive ourselves if we released an album where fans said: 'Oh no, this is the one where they're a pastiche of themselves.' "
