1801 demo request
« on: 24 Jan 2007, 06:22 pm »
Hi,

If there is anyone in the Columbus, Ohio area who would be willing to demo their 1801s for me I'm interested in hearing them.

Thanks,
Brian

I don't know if there is anyone in columbus, but believe Lou Skimming lives in Cleveland.  A visit with Lou would also provide a huge education in source gear.  I'll try to find Lou's contact info and pm you.

You just need to pay shipping to the next lucky soul.

I see...though, there's nothing at that link to explain how I would actually get them to travel to my house. And something about a 6-8 month waiting list...as of Jan 2004?

Is there anyone in New York City who would be willing to demo their pair?  I would be interested in hearing them too. 

Thanks

I'm not in NYC but in Montreal so if you find yourself North of the Border you are welcome to come by and have a listen.

Hey, that's only like 400 miles from New York!  :)

Seriously though, if anyone in Chicago has a pair I might be up that way some time this spring...

The wait is currently @ 3 months.

I have the speakers in my workshop for a checkup.  When this is completed, they will travel to a couple local gents, then to California for a stint.

I think my email to Lou in Cleveland was successful, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

Simply send me an email with your address and phone number.  I'll contact you before the speakers head your direction to ensure you still want them.

Hello David, All,
Having now toyed around with some lower cost DIY projects, I am now thinking about tackling the 1801b as my next audio project. :D   It appears this design is just what I'm looking for.  I was just curious though as to whether there were any folks in the San Francisco Bay Area with a pair of these marvelous speakers that I might trouble to let me audition them? :D
