Hey Art,

I saw Albert at THE Show in Cali. I asked about you and he mentioned you were changing speakers...WOW -I thought- your system sounded dynamite to me when I had the pleasure!

Let us know how the sound develops...btw, PBN is about 1/2 hour away from me. I haven't been by there, though.

Best,
Sam

Art-

Wow, they're gorgeous! Knowing what is inside them, I'm sure they sound even better than they look and will only get better. Congratulations!!

System edited: Added PBN Montana WAS-2 Speakers, more to come as they break in further...

Art,

We'll be listening until late, hope you make it. I think the Stillpoints stand will be in the photo studio rather than in the system when you arrive. We had it in the system last week and will put in again soon.

It was great seeing you Albert, and that was a terrific evening! Although I'm not sure if you're really here for the get togethers anymore or just to see Romeo! :)

I'm going to try and catch up to you Tuesday after work...

arthursmuck April 18, 2011 03:18

Albert,

You'll give Napoleon a complex :-)

My open thank you to Art for having us over tonight. Great food, great music and great friends, not to mention Romeo the cat.

They are "GIANTER".... Have fun Art.

fplanner2010 April 15, 2011 13:13

You mean...MORE GIANT than he already has?! :-)

-Sam

c1ferrari April 15, 2011 05:57

BBQ party at Art's mañana, I'm looking forward to the music and GIANT speakers he's trying out.

albertporter April 15, 2011 05:52

I'll keep you posted Sam, looks like maybe early May....

arthursmuck March 08, 2011 00:41

My treat, Art! CU, then :-)

c1ferrari March 06, 2011 15:40

WOW! Just checked it out and the line is already around the corner in Point Loma, at 11:30AM! Okay, I'm sold. Phil's is on the agenda when I come see you.

Have a great weekend Sam!

arthursmuck March 05, 2011 19:21

Yeah...I know, -- Google Phil's BBQ in San Diego (they even have a webcam, so you can monitor the lines :-)

Ask Rugyboogie...we went there when he and his wonderful family were visiting :-)

c1ferrari March 05, 2011 17:44

I'll keep you posted Sam, I have business in LA and SD so will be out there from time to time! San Diego BBQ?

arthursmuck March 05, 2011 16:05

Haha :-) I want to come out, again, and have fun with you, Albert, Fred and heck...all of Texas!

When you come out to the Left Coast, I'll treat you to some great San Diego barbeque!!

Just let me know.

c1ferrari March 02, 2011 01:08

Albert, you are welcomke anytime, just let me know when you have some availability to travel to the wild West!

Sam, great to hear from you! Hope things are well. Will you be headed out our way anytime soon? Maybe I'll have to come and see all my friends on the left coast... :)

arthursmuck March 01, 2011 22:06

Love the system update pic, Art :-)

Vbr,

Sam

That is a beautiful kitty, thanks for adding some fun to Audiogon.

I need to come listen again, your system was sounding wonderful last time.

albertporter February 28, 2011 05:28

System edited: Here he is Albert, waiting patiently for you to come by and give him some rubs....

arthursmuck February 28, 2011 05:03

Hello Art, this is Napoleon cat.

Why have you not taken a photo of me lounging in your music room?

Audiogon visitors could see what great taste you have in picking family pets.

albertporter February 28, 2011 03:24

Thank you Skushino! One of our big goals was to address acoustics of course, but also deliver a relaxing environment visually and aesthetically. Jeff Hedback of HdAcoustics really got this and that alignment was key to our project.

I also appreciate your modesty, but your room looks just fine to me! :)

Art

arthursmuck February 28, 2011 01:55

My comment is redundant - simply wonderful room! Too many listening rooms (unfortunately sometimes including mine) look like hobby rooms or random collections of gear. Aesthetics plays a role in our enjoyment of art. Thanks for the inspiration.

skushino February 25, 2011 18:03

Thanks Darrin, hope it helps you convince your wife to upgrade your room! :)

arthursmuck February 23, 2011 20:51

Beautiful room. This looks like it could be a pictorial from Architectural Digest. I will use this as the example with my wife to prove an audio room can be a showcase for good taste as well. Nice colors, textures, lighting, fixtures, etc.
