There was a house we rented on Forest Park while in college that is now torn down. Always wondered if we were the cause of it sliding downhill. :scratch:

We can spin it, I didn't say it would sound any good however ...

Ryan and Heather, thanks for hosting this event. . .sorry I couldn't stay longer.  The Nimbus sounded fantastic, you have a real winner here.  Of course, I haven't heard one of your designs I didn't like.  My next set of speakers will need to be Vapors.

Ryan and Heather thank you for hosting the listening session.  It was great to see the GAS gang again. 
The new speakers are, as usual from your talents, fantastic.  The imaging and the mid and upper range are as usual superb.  The bass is effortless, articulate, and even.  The extreme low end is very musical.  I am quite impressed.

Thanks for hosting, and it was great meeting more of you GAS guys.  Ryan, the Nimbus is a real world-class speaker, very effortless sounding full range speaker.  As always, great stuff.

Ryan and Heather, that was superb. I really enjoyed hearing the new speaks, and was stunned at their bass presentation. They took command of the room without any struggle, yet were subtle and clear voiced. You have a winner on your hands.  :D  Master Liam had a slightly different point of view, saying the buffalo wing chicken dip was incredible, and nothing could top it.  :thumb:

Ryan, Heather,

Thanks for hosting. Really wish I could have stayed longer as the Nimbus was really fun to listen to but alas, we had a birthday dinner to go to.

Great job on the speakers :thumb: They're frickin' HUGE. Oh, and welcome to the 15" club  :banana piano:

That was fun, thanks guys for everything ... great group we have here in STL! 

Tony just left, he wanted to listen more because he said Pete was playing them too loud  :lol:  Anyway, a couple hours of light low listening and we were both pretty chilled.  Nice end to a fun day.

Thanks much for hosting.  Had a great time, great people, great music.    The Nimbus sounded like they could do pretty much anything it pretty much any volume. Very nice and even, extended detailed highs with the RAAL, plenty of bass when called for with the 15" but not overbearing and sloppy when the music didn't have it.   Very impressive.

Sorry I had to leave early.  You know what it's like with family in town....  We'll have to get together for that other listening session we talked about.

Just so BISL doesn't have to chime in.........not one of you own a camera????????  How about something for the poor schmucks that couldn't come over and hear the big boys?

I don't think anybody took pictures, lame I know. 

Anybody who missed it, you are free to come over anytime.  Weekday, weekend, whatever ... just send me a PM and we can set something up.

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm just glad you were able to make it.  Forgot to ask you about those T-Lab tweeters, if you still want them or not.

Thanks Bryan!  About more listening, just let me know.  Give me just a bit of notice and we'll make it happen anytime.
