Title: Naming Contest ???
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 7 Jan 2003, 09:21 pm: :nono: No amps this time, but:

For the new super mono upgrade, I'll have to get the name out there this weekend for the web site, etc. Right now, I'm tending to go with " Collossus", but I'm still open to suggestions.

Here are the mini rules:

1. If I'll take the name, then you;ll receive 1 x Groneberg Quattro Ref. power cord.

2. Only the name, no other explanation, no other words, e.g. "Collossus"

3. Names only in this thread.

Ends Friday.

Late,

Klaus

No, these go to eleven.
Title: Naming Contest ???
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 14 Jan 2003, 05:44 am: OK,
The upgrade of the monos is now officially the :

Odyssey Stratos xtreme .

Thus, the winner is TMD.
Disclaimer:

Actually, at first I wanted to go with the Phase II from Amandarae, but after discussing this with Sherrie, we decided that it might reflect negative on the regular monos because it's only Pkhase I by association. Thus, we ended up with Xtreme.
So, to be fair, both, amandarae and TMD will get the power cord.

Also, for anybody here who participated, we'll offer you a special:

$ 45. per Quattro Ref. power cord.

OK, thanks again,

Klaus

Post by: U4EA on 14 Jan 2003, 08:50 pm: I think the Audi 5000 with the 4 wheel drive option could be a Quatro...Oh well doesn't really matter since Klaus picked Xtreme. Hope he doesn't get sued by ESPN.
