NoVA GTG ~ East Coast ~ Chantilly, VA

Please post & PM me your name, email, and phone if you'd still like to put on standby.

After several of us attended Gorilla's last GTG a short while back, we decided we needed another excuse to hang out again and play stuff really, really loud.

A few of us have negotiated a right-around-the-corner-date; in two weeks...cuz...why not...spontaneity is good for the soul.

I'll have my ipad charged up just for you!
There's a pj, AT screen, and a sofa in the room now...oh, and a bean bag ;) Keeping it simple for now...aka unpainted/unfancy...I'm kinda thinking about moving a few miles away, so have less reason to do the room proper...for now. The people that built my house did a questionable job with the insulation...so many cold spots...I have to run my thermostats at 75-77 just to make it feel like 70. I feel like up and just leaving if I can't get it fixed inexpensively. We shall see.

@Asim What are your plans for a start time? I seen lunchtime so I am figuring 12 or 1 o'clock? I have to work on Saturday, so trying to figure if I have to work and come after or burn a personal. I do a half a day on Saturday, I could be in NoVA by about 1pm. However, burn a personal sounds good though. :)

We should see if BigmouthinDC wants to join in.

Done.

I have a Denon 2312 I am not using right now. I just don't have any parts for it. If you have a Denon remote and a audy mic to just set it up, we would be in business. The 2312 has enough to push the MTM'sm, but it does not have preouts for an amp.
Thanks for offering Dave...unfortunately, I don't have an extra denon remote.

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-72TXV that I can quickly disconnect and bring over if that would help. Full featured AVR, 130WPC, but the HDMI is limited to 720p/1080i since it is a little older.
Thanks Steve...this should work just fine. The video resolution isn't important...but if it did, 720p would work great anyway. We'll use this with my 50" plasma in a separate listening room. JFMI, does it also have pre outs?

Please add me to the holding pattern. I could bring a Denon 3311, REW and speclab rig and always up for bringing any of my Seaton stuff.
I just added you as the 'cap' to the list...Welcome aboard.

For sure. I would be looking to the Phil 3's as a nice unit for the den. If they best the LS-6's, it would be VERY enticing to make the switch, but the ls-6's have a good lock so far on their usage as they basically play music from the time I get home to the time I go to bed (or flip to tv viewing). The line array design helps to send the music throughout the main floor common areas.

Don't mean to thread jack...

Any reviews on IQ Home. What other AV stores in our area?
Thank you.

Wahoo, got the 31st off!!! We pick vacations and personals for the year in advance and they also go by seniority. Not always easy to get the time off that you want. You can always just call out, but not my favorite thing to do.

Hi ASoofi1,

If you decide you have room for a pair of MT110s just let me know the address and your preferred arrival date(fedex ground). Thanks.

I must say, I am very much looking forward to this get-together. I shan't be there until the sun sets (Sabbath observance), but when I am on my way, I won't need to worry about GPS--I'll just follow my ears from the beltway, using fault-lines in the asphalt for guidance as you guys switch tracks. :cool:
