Don't know what you are asking E.

When you said you wanted to measure your amp I assumed you mean power output. The amp is usually loaded with a big power resistors instead of speakers for such a test. Do you have test resistors or do you plan on blasting the speakers?

Or am I completely misunderstanding what you mean by measuring your amp?
 
Nope, that is what I meant but never thought about a test load. I am not too concerned with WPC as my speakers need WAY less power than this amp puts out. I was thinking about freq range and distortion.
 
Change in plans. There is no way I will get this amp done by the 30th. Just picked up a big job that will only last 20 days and I gotta make hay whilst the sun shinith.
 
Have we decided on who's bringing what yet? I'm guessing Bob's bringing speakers, so I don't need to bring any right? But then again, why not???

Can never have too many speakers, Andy.:D

I am fighting bronchitis (at least) and just started the antibiotics today. I will spare you the sight and sounds of my highly productive cough. I was going to offer to bring Nipper, but he is not much of a water dog.:smoke:
 
Tonight I will go through the thread and make a list of what people are bringing. A friend is bringing a pair ProAc 2.5 clones and McIntosh amp (I don't know the model number but believe it is one of their bigger SS stereo models).
 
Maybe I'll bring out one of my HDCD capable decks so you guys can give that format a listen.
 
Good news. It looks like we are blessed with more than enough equipment to listen to. On top of that it is all nice stuff. The list is below.

Bellair is looking for feedback on his new speakers. I suggest that the group assemble a system for him as a top priority.

My friend DT the Asian Redneck would also like feedback on his DIY ProAc 2.5 speaker clones. He is bringing his mating McIntosh SS amp. Whatever signal source works for Bellair will also work for DT.

I would like to also hear the Polk Monitor 10 speakers.

So much gear, so little time. I will leave the gear coordination to you guys as I will be tending to the house, namely converting the dining room to a listening space and sprucing up the yard.

Thank you for bringing the stone soup together.

Guys,

I have only participated in one SMAC meet. At that one there were boxes of LPs for sale in the garage. Is that typical? Just wondering if I need to get a table for people that bring LPs for sale. It's not a problem.
