Here they are!

http://www.audioc.com/raffle1/raffle4.htm

YOU can make a difference! AND, you might even find yourself owning a brand new pair of Talisman SEs: http://www.audioc.com/speakers1/talisman/talismanse.htm

$65.00 buys you a 1 in 110 chance of becoming the lucky owner of a pair of these elegant towers! You can purchase as many tickets as you want to increase your chance of winning. The winner's Talisman SEs will be built after the close of the raffle.

Katrina has been absolultely devastating as I'm sure you're aware. All proceeds from this Talisman SE raffle will go to the American Red Cross hurricane relief effort.

Eric:

I just tried it and got the same results. There is an error in the shopping cart code. Murphy's law, we're working on the server and it may be a bit of time until we can get it fixed. The correct amount per ticket is $65 and that is what will be charged . . . thanks for catching it!

It is working fine now, charging $65 per ticket.

Thanks for doing this Mike.

Thanks again for the raffle Mike. I'll have a nice pair of GR Research Paradox 3s for auction for the relief effort after I win your speakers

It looks like we might be in for another round of hurricane related relief efforts. I'm in for one.

Man, things look bad for the Gulf Coast right now . . . at least people are getting out this time . . . I'm definitely praying for them. Thanks again to all who are supporting this raffle.

I purchased mine before these last two started coming thru the gulf. That whole region is going to look like a war zone. I feel sorry for the people and the administration

Thanks for the raffle, Mike

I'm not sure, haven't checked it since Wednesday or Thursday when I believe we were around 1/2 sold . . . my accountant has informed me that we must close this raffle by the 29th regardless of where it stands. Thanks to all so far, and I hope generous audiophiles spread the word and help us end this strong and send as much possible to hurricane relief!

Mike,

If you close the raffle before all the tickets are sold will you still draw a winner or are you planning on refunding the sold tickets?

Mike,

I have gotten in contact with the RMAF organizers and they seem willing to link from their site to the various charity raffles and auctions going on at the moment. I have given them a list that includes this raffle, so hopefully they can get it posted and the attention on the RMAF this week will get some tickets sold.

Harry:

We're planning on drawing a winner and sending the proceeds to Katrina relief. IF we don't sell the full 110 tickets, we just won't be able to send as much, and THAT will be a real shame. . . and why I'm hoping the tickets just fly the next couple of days

Very cool . . . anybody else who has ways of spreading the word, please do so. With the help of all of you, I want to send as much as possible to Katrina relief.

This is the fifth raffle ACI has run since January 1 of this year. The first three raffles benefited victims of the Asian Tsunami, Ronald McDonald House, and Alzheimer's Association.

My mother and at least two of her siblings (so far) died of Alzheimer's. Thanks for the good work, Mike. My entry went in tonight.
