Seadog Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 I want to thank everyone who came yesterday and made this a really fun event. The turnout was better than I expected. I counted 10 of us (plus two wives = 12). I'll post some pics later (I'm digitally challenged when it comes to photography - I have to get FILM processed and put on a CD). We spent most of the afternoon and evening in the Khorn 2-channel room listening to everything from Jazz to Rock to Country music. I learned that a flea-powered SET amp can sound very good when played through Khorns. We ended the day in the HT watching the Pulse DVD side 2 (DSOTM). As for the tweeter comparison, I really think I will leave the APT-200s and the K-77s on my Khorns with the A/B switch. Some source material sounded better with the K-77s and some better with the APT-200s. IMO, I think the majority of the material souned better with the APTs when using the Dynaco MK3 amps, and the SET amp sounded better with the stock K-77s. Now, I have to put the living room back to normal (darn it, I personally like it this way!). David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted September 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2006 I cannot wait to see the photos. I talked to Luther last night, he is on his way down to my place right now, and he said he had a great time and really liked your set up. If you want to email me the photos I will post them on here for you. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Khorn with my tweeks and my wife's decor on top (actually, her silk plant and lamp shade provide some sound diffusion in the corners above the speakers, a win / win arrangement []).

Wardsweb Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Sorry for the delayed post , but I just now got back into San Antonio, got the car unloaded and fired up the computer. Here is a link to the pictures I took. If you wish, you are able to post comments to the pics in the gallery. http://lonestarbottleheads.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=31 Many thanks for a really nice meet. I had a great time and only wish I could have stayed longer, but alas I had to drive up to McKinney to drop off a pre I sold a buddy up there. The upside is he gave me some speakers while I was there. It was an audio week end through and through. Even for Travis who now has a whole rack of SAE gear that I was bringing back from Dallas. It just didn't make it all the way to San Antonio. It did look wickedly good in your upstairs rack Travis. Well type at you guys later.
