..show of hands: who is attending AXPONA 2017? The mighty 11 Ultras will be on display along with a few other items no doubt. My wife and I will be there Friday only. Looking forward to the Friday night dinner and hanging with the boyz from VSA including Albert this year..

I'll be there for the full event. I'm looking forward to hearing the Ultra 11's as well as the cream of the crop in amplification and source components.

Who are they pairing with? I'm certain the 11's should be paired with better than VAC's offerings

I'll be present for the entire show. I'm booked at the Westin. Looking forward to getting together w all again! Jack

I'm not certain who else will be in the mix, but a Lampizator Golden Gate is planned for the source.

A killer turntable and tape deck are also going to be on hand.

After having missed last year, I'm looking forward to seeing those of you I've met before, and hopefully meeting many of you that I have not. If you see me, please introduce yourself!

Cheers,
Gary

It would be nice if there was news from VSA?

Pairing them with VAC's TOTL offerings would be very interesting. The U11s should be great with the 450 Statement.

It's the preamp that's the issue.

The VAC Statement pre is awesome too

It's been out for a couple of years now I think but given VAC rarely if ever grants review items not many people know about it. Very fast and transparent with just the slightest hint of sweetness. Looks great too.

*I'm not connected in any way to VAC

I'm pretty sure after hearing that preamp and amps at "you know where", we will be in good shape.

Regardless of reservation about certain aspects that may not be a concern...

I'm smelling a best of show award, for the 11's.

Do we have a consensus that Friday night works best for a VSA Fan Club dinner?
