OK - It's about time we got serious about replanning this event. This is a continuation of the original thread posted late last year. Since I'm redoing my basement setup, I'll volunteer to host this time. The details
Date: now set to Saturday, October 20th. Start time 9:30 AM. End time? When we're done.
Location: My place in Thornton, PA. Further details to follow as the date approaches. I'm in a relatively convenient location from I-95, 295, 495, Route 1, etc. To give some perspective, I'm 25 minutes Southwest of the Philadelphia airport, an hour and a half from Baltimore, 2 hours from NYC, and 2.5 hours from DC.
Food: Update: I'll ask for a nominal $10.00 donationfor any member attending to cover lunch and snacks for the day. Anything over this I will cover.
BYO for the beverages of your choice.
I will have a few cases of beer handy as well as well as most mixed drink stuff at the bar.
Stuff for sale:I know I ALWAYS have some equipment I need to sell, so if any others are in the same category, feel free to bring it. Swap meets are fun.
Room:The viewing/listening area is 13x22x8 (open) in my basement. Just behind this area is the bar area which is another 19x22x8 so we should have ample room for a good crew. The floors are concrete of course and there is a drop ceiling. Just an FYI it is NOT a dedicated theater but it should serve quite well for some informal listening sessions.

In addition, if there is interest, I could set up a music only setup upstairs. The room is a bit larger, but would probably serve nicely for this purpose.
Additional:It is not mandatory that you bring any equipment with you. I will however ask that you share your thoughts/opinions with the online community after the event so that all can benefit.
Equipment:
Receiver/processor: Denon 4311ci
Testing equipment: Laptop/omnimic
Current main speaker inventory

Crown XLS5000
Projector: Epson 8700UB
Screen: Jamestown Custom 120" Matte White
Electric: 2 x 20A dedicated circuits, 1X20A shared circuit.
Details of testing: Movie/Music clips to follow. Looking at 30-40 minutes of listening time for each sub as well as 15-20 minutes of setup.
Per Ironmike's suggestion, we will probably be doing some basic sweeps of each sub at the LP prior to the demo session.
EDIT: As of 9/10/12 we are at capacity for the event. As members confirm/unconfirm we may free up some space.
Should be a blast and look forward to meeting alot of you guys.

raehza - Hsu VTF15H - haven't heard from him yet as far as a confirmation
In the interest of time, we will likely have to audition some of the speaker setups in parallel with the subwoofers. I have a feeling some will need a break from listening to those sub clips so many times anyway.
