You know I did post a picture last night of the music server everyone was asking for

Can somebody take a close up picture of that piece of paper describing the cavalli liquid lightning tomorrow?
Hey Rob any more thoughts on the Emotiva Monitors? What kind of sound signature did they have? Warm like a B+W speaker or LCD-2? Ribbon tweeter makes me think they may be tuned to be bright and "revealing". I'm in the market for some budget speakers and was going to just get another pair of my trusted Mackie HR624 Monitors, which I can get used for 400-500 bucks. But the word ribbon sounds sexy.
And it looks like they'll have 2 models even cheaper than those as well.
I would like to add that Jason and Mike have been in the high end market previously. They have made a decision to provide value to the market. How many companies put out a statement amp at $1k? From what I know of the capabilities of the Statement amp this will be fantastic value. Wait until yo are able to compare the Dark Star to the Schiit offering....then determine value or maximum profits....
And cheaper Schiit means more left for a poor mans 009's...the LCD3! Well hopefully.
Thanks for the heads-up on the monitors Skylab, the specs appear to be killer as well

First of all, I had a FABULOUS time at RMAF. It was a gas. I spent much more time in the main audio rooms than the "Can-Jam", but I did still really enjoy the CJ time I had. Both to the new folks I met, and the old friends I saw again, it was a pleasure! In spite of my being at the show all 3 days, there were still many people I wanted to meet but never crossed paths with - that is my lone regret.

Best speakers I heard at CanJam were the Vandersteen 7's. The Nola Baby Grand Reference were also stunning. Those were in the $50K range. I also heard a pair of powered monitors with ribbon tweeters from a company called Emotive that were $799 and sounded killer. There were LOTS of good sounding rooms. There were also some thing I heard that sounded either disappointing or just plain bad.
Yes. Mike Moffit started THETA digital. His THETA DACs were some of the very first outboard DACs. I owned one for 16 years. Jason and Mike don't need a sell low and sell in quantity strategy to be successful. As Kremer has pointed out they made a decision to provide value to the market at reasonable prices.
