Hey guys! How've you been?

Thought I'd update you all on my audio.

Since the meet, I've gotten new headphones, new portables, and new speakers.

I was running a pair of Polk Tsx220B bookshelf speakers and a Polk DSW440wi from a Denon AVR-S500BT. I picked up a pair of Pioneer SP-FS52 towers (designed by Andrew Jones of T.A.D). They are an awesome upgrade over the bookshelves. I absolutely love them. I sold my HD650's (which were weirdly neutral) a while back, and since bought a pair of HD595's to replace them. I also bought some Logitech UE6000's about 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love them. In active mode, they're a clear upgrade over my Image One's for a change.

Since I moved my main speaker setup to my home theater, I got some Promedia 2.1 speakers from a friend I since replaced the satellites with some Polk T15 bookshelf speakers, which were a fantastic upgrade.

Here are some pics (sorry for the horrible quality):

If I can go I'll absolutely bring it! I might start bargain hunting for some LCD2.2's soon. Search for a while and get the best price possible.

@phillyd: Good to see you around, man! I dig your setups-- you can kinda tell when someone puts a lot of time, attention and love into their setup, and yours definitely meet that criterion .
 
Hope you can make it to the meet! Like Jay, I also had a dumbhead moment and missed out on hearing the Antique Sound Labs amp of yours, so if you wanna bring it back, well, we won't stop ya

.

Well I would rather try out the Alessandro anyway

The 325e was one that people said improved for the better, right? But I agree, the mspro would be fun to listen to. Always wondered about the Allesandros.

the 325e is awesome, i've heard quite a few grado's, it's one of my favorites, the other "e" version i've heard is the gs1000e, its very much improved IMO

Oteil and I were talking about this over a couple of pints the other day, and (although I think we were in the minority at the last meet), we both decided we actually preferred his OG GS1K (non -i, non -e) to the GS1Ke. Don't know how it compares to the GS1Ki though, as I don't think I've heard one yet.
 
Also, I'm going to be scoping out potential venues tomorrow, and with any luck, we'll have our location locked up by Monday! As soon as I get everything worked out, I'll get another official thread going.
 
Gonna be another awesome meet, guys!!! Looking forward to it!!
