For those of you following the "Small Floor Standing Speaker Shootout" thread, you know that a few of us are planning a GTG (get-to-gather) in Austin, Texas, for the weekend of October 22-24, 2004.
I call this "Almost Official" because there will be nothing really "official" about this GTG at all. This is not a shootout, a contest, or a last man standing winner take all death match. I think Curtis said it best here:
Not to say that there won't be any blind listening comparisions, but if so, I expect it will be strictly for fun and the listener's benefit. I wouldn't expect any exacting scientific standards to be applied. I would, however, expect copious amounts of alcoholic beverages to be applied for those that so choose and who aren't driving.
So this is an open invitation to anyone who would like to come to Austin and who promises to have fun. So far I believe we have commitments from:
Mark Schifter (Mark LS) - Of Rocket/Onix/AV123/Genesis/Audio Alchemy/etc. fame.
Curtis Chang (CurtisSC) - Soon to be known as the "Texas Heartbreaker".
Craig Chase - Speaker and Subwoofer Shootout King. (If he doesn't come we will curse his name at every opportunity. Of course, this may happen even if he is there.)
Victor.Y - Local Austin-nite, local event planner, and possible equipment contributer if we can talk him into it and find a bigger car.
Nhan_H - Nhan's from the Dallas area and has offered to bring some HTD IV bookshelfs and possibly some 550's if they can hitch a safe ride. (I've always been curious about the HTD's but have never had the chance to hear any.)
Chris Quinn - Chris has offered to bring his Ascend 170's and 340C up from Houston. (I'm really looking forward to hearing these.)
David Fabrikant from Ascend also previously expressed interest in coming. Don't know for sure, but we're hoping that he can make it.
Now that we have a date set, we'll start working on gathering equipment, picking a hotel, etc. We may also need volunteers to give rides from and to the airport and a larger vehicle or two (an SUV would be perfect) to safely transport some speakers.
Guys please jump in here and add to or correct anything I've said. I look forward to meeting y'all.
