First I found out about the EMO lites, then this Melody/Ref1deal.....mls is going nuts. All kinds of deals, configureations, packages.  My head is still spinning.  At one point the Melody/Ref1 thread was growing faster than I was reading

Then I find out about the Stratas line of speakers coming soon...I've got to get out more.

I'll let you know if anyone in Chicago does a demonstration of this gear.  My friend Bob (Hectic) is a great guy and has done some very cool get-togethers to show off his AV123 gear.  He recently had some people over to show off the new reference speakers and some other AV123 stuff.  Hopefully, he'll be getting the new Emotiva and Strata equipment.  Oh, and the new CD player.  I'm really looking forward to hearing it.  It looks amazing and the preliminary reports on AV123 from beta testers (or tester, I have only read posts from MadDog or Sadono, can't remember) are very positive.  All their stuff very cool looking and I haven't heard anything from AV that didn't sound very good.  

Please keep us posted if you hear anything about launch dates on those new speakers!  I've got to hear them.

Hey Jack...

I'm on the waiting list for the Strata Grande's...I have no idea when they are set to hit the states...I'm sure I will let you know though.

I'm not getting the CD-1 anymore as I decided to go with a modded Audio Alchemy DDS-PRO that I was able to pick up locally...very detailed and black transport...I have been VERY happy with this.

I REALLY want to jump in on the Rosewood Ref 1 deal but I can't right now...building this house has put a stop to all my audio spending...I have to sell something to buy something...the only problem is that I don't have anything left to sell

I hope all is well and I'll talk to you soon!

Fortunately... you know the owner and he wouldn't mind loaning you and your better half the Melody / ONIX SP3 ~ REF One LE package... It's something special...

Bob Man... look for THAT CD Player announcement to come out soon... Everyone's favourite $600 dollar player for --------- $299...  

Off to bed here in Hong Kong... I'm on a forced 3 day R+R...

All the best...

Hi Mark,
Thanks for chiming in from around the globe.  It's always very exciting to hear from you as you travel to so many exotic places!  I'd be happy to hold a gathering in my house in December or whenever the new products become available.  Michelle has perfected her pizza recipe and I think I can persuade her to make pizzas for the group.  Don't think it will be a problem finding enough people to fill my house.  Just say the word and I'll set it up with people from this site and AV123.com.  

I don't know how you guys do it but whenever it appears you have hit a plateau, AV123 kicks in another gear and manages to take it to another level with innovative new products and great deals on existing items.  Your business has come a long way in the past couple years and there appears to be no end in sight!   Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.  

When can we expect to hear news on "Everyone's favorite" CDP for $299?  Have you totally lost your mind?!?

Cheers,

Jack
