Hello From Portland, Oregon
« on: 12 Oct 2018, 10:35 pm »
Hey all,

I'm a new member who came to these forums specifically for information regarding high efficiency systems.

If there are any forum members in Portland, Oregon who have high efficiency systems they would be willing to demo for me please ping me!

Thanks everyone.

Welcome to  A C from just down  I 5, when I am home.  Just a 2000 mile jump for now.

Kind of efficient.

Hi, Scott.

I'm in OSU Beaver country. I've got 96dB floor standers (Daedalus Audio Apollos). My tube amp is a Don Sachs KT88 amp with switches to put it into SET mode. My preamp is also a Don Sachs Model 2 (6SN7).

Welcome to AC.

Your setup looks amazing and I'm sure sounds even better. Wish I was close so I could come listen ;) Thanks for the welcome rollo.

Sure. I thought you might like to come visit. If we time it right, another AC member and his wife may be here, too. We're still working out which day though.
Shoot me a PM and we can exchange phone numbers/email addresses. [I am inconveniently busy for the next week or so.]

What is it you are looking for specifically? 

PDX has an audio group that I once joined but never made it to a meeting.  They meet every month, typically in a bar and give talks on various topics.  Nice to see so many active audiophiles in a community.  But sadly interest is waning with the younger generation.

I was looking for some local members with high efficiency speakers and SET tube amplification based systems to audition. I also had some specific speaker amp synergy questions which I posted in the Omega Speakers forum.
