Actually Patrick covered NY north and most of Canada before he left.

Allan, who we affectionately call Bass Boy and who is the guy who would discuss bass with you until Hell freezes over covers the midwest and now western Canada. His music degree includes piano and organ

David Ellington, gentleman extraodinaire and all around great guy covers the Texas through the mountain west. David will be at Rocky Mountain.

Chris Stensager is both an EE and our FNG, and he covers the entire west coast up to Vancouver.

So I 'm the guy who's left - and I too will be at Rocky Mountain, working with David.






Where do you live that you have met both Allan and PB?

Thanks for all comments & suggestions. From the above jdandy suggestion, my back wall is 48" x 72" window. A larger area rug is in the works once my decorator (wife) finds one that appeals to her. I have angled the REL in the corner to aim diagonally at the opposite corner. Since my Kimber 12TC are only 8' in length spacing is a problem (stand takes up 30" of the cable).

miner.......When I said back wall, I was speaking of the wall behind your speakers and rack. I don't see a large window there, so I am assuming you thought I meant the wall behind your listening position. Your room would definately benefit from some accoustic panels.
