Hey all... I will be receiving this beauty in a few days as I am apart pf the tour.. there isn't any sense of doing this if I can't help get more people to hear this..

So, if anybody is interested, please PM me and let's have some fun

I'd be interested but WAY behind on things after getting stuck down south in the storm. How long will you have it?

Hey, don't bogart that tube preamp. Share with a Warren county brother.

I'll work out the time line with Blair, I should be able to borrow it for a few...

I can start as early as this coming week for those who want to make the trip... I start the development of a speaker line for a mfg this week as well so I'll be doing allot of listening and other audio related stuff for the next few weeks

Randy, would you be interested in bringing it down to south county for next Saturday's gathering?

Hey all... I'll see about getting out... with me getting this a few weeks later then expected, it's now cutting in on my work as i am designing and developing prototypes for a full line of loudspeakers for a MFG... that and along with having a number of people out the next few weeks and at the same time keep the wifey happy is paramount...

I'll see what i can do

Got a few GAS cats coming out today

After my time with the Beacon 2 I think you all will be impressed with its punch, slam, bass and PRAT. It has the presence thing going on as well. The unit is dead quiet. No hums, buzzs or the like.
A neutral pre that reveals all, good or bad. Ones source better be up to snuff or it will be revealed.
Looking forward to everyones comments. Once in a while a component comes along that way out performs its price point. IMO this is one of them. KABOOOOM for the buck.
Blair well done sir.

I agree a 100%... it's truly an amazing piece and works insanely good in my setup.. INSANELY.. I think the upgrade options along with the Beacon 3 would probably give just about anything a run for it's money..
