I believe these folks carry cans: http://heightsvinyl.com/?page_id=253
But not Stax.

Man I do not know of any. The only shop that even carried and kind of cans and gear that I knew of was in clear lake Webster area and it closed a couple of years ago. Anybody have any other info. I would like to attend a meet here in H town!
We definitely need a meet up soon!
Would love to bring my WA22, WDS-1 and HD800S set up!
Anybody wanna let us use their house? LOL
The Austin meet in January had stats and several planars.
I know. I wasn't absolutely clear.
There were dealers at this January show. There wasn't just individuals with their gear.
The Stax demo was all about the amps driving them and they weren't Stax amps. It was relatively quiet in the room.
I regret not having paid enough attention to see that the Austin meeting was planned. I would have driven there to take it all in as I have yet to attend a large event.
The reason I asked about a Stax dealer is I have a dilemma. I have a pair of Stax 007A's. My second pair as the first had a channel imbalance and were swapped out for a new pair that have played well for several months. I now have an issue with the either my KGST e-stat amp or the 007A's and I was hoping to plug the relatively new earspeakers into an amp to see if its my amp or the earspeakers. They sound great fed by my Ygg, but I'm a bit frustrated that my Stax setup has not been as reliable as my dynamics.
What I can say is that I enjoy my TH900's via the Woo WA7 as much as the Stax, although they are different, and I recently picked up a Headamp GS-1 with the Dynalo plus boards that made me revisit my HD650's....really transformed them. All are fed by the Ygg and that's a nice combo.
Anyhoo....if anyone in the area has a Stax amp and wouldn't mind me plugging my 007A's in for a quick test please let me know. Alternatively I may have to buy more equipment to test what's up. I'm tired of shipping this stuff off and I'd like to pinpoint the issue.

Sounds good, seems like you might be the organizer of the next meet in Houston.
I'm always down, hopefully we can get enough traction.

Would people like to have the meet at a plain-Jane place, like a library, or a scenic place, like a cafe with banquet hall? A plain-Jane place have a cheaper price for admission and will not require a high attendance, but it will not be as organized or as convenient. A cafe with a banquet hall will require a price for admission and food and a higher attendance to cover costs, but the area will be more welcoming and will let others be more social with other interests, like IEMs and DAPs.
