Since I just found more speakers giving me a complete surround sound system I'm not feeling an upgrade itch anymore. Well, it's mainly because I don't know how they sound though. I know they get loud but some speakers have highs I like (infiniti kappa speakers in my car) and some have highs that I just wish I could get more from(I run my Polk monitor 70s at +4 treble on my Ave to be happy but tweeters popped twice. Now only +2). Considering all the people who had done this build perhaps there should be a thread for people who are willing to let people see/demo their speakers.

I could only see this happening if someone is willing to build a few of the models and then you'd have to pay for build and component cost plus shipping both ways. The shipping I'd imagine would be quite expensive.

I'd like to see a list of equipment and locations of users that are willing to give a demo. Then I'd know for example someone within 30 miles has Seos/tempests and I could contact them to go have a listen.

It would even help if everyone had their location listed in their profile. I however do not have mine listed because for some reason I can't edit my profile. I'm guessing that's because I use Internet Explorer which is no longer supported by the site. I can't change to firefox or chrome b/c it's a company owned laptop.

I think that's a very reasonable and good request. I'd most likely be willing to do it, but I have to finish my theater room first.

Unfortunately my build isn't a kit and is expensive. Perhaps a list hosted on diysoundgroup would be good, but we have to be cautious of who we let into our homes. Very active members, I wouldn't have an issue, but drive bye subscribers would be problematic.

A simple Google doc would suffice for people that are willing to demo perhaps? AVS Name, City, State, Speakers? Then you could just sort the state column and then send that person a PM on here about setting up a time.

It could be as easy as something this sticky thread maintained(?) in the speakers forum: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1354492/the-ill-demo-my-speakers-for-other-enthusiasts-thread

I'll be open to demo my tempests for the NYC tri-state area once I'm done.

Basically what I said in the last sentence of my OP although was a little hazy.

Really want to hear the speakers to see if I should look into selling my Monitor 70s and just run Fusion 8s and my B&W Speakers.

Well you don't have where you live listed, so it makes it hard for someone to say: come over and have a listen.

That'll be your best bet, I think.

The cheap-thrills are on-par with my B&W N803's (once you EQ the SEOS to be flat at the LP to 18khz that is).

East coast is ~2300miles by airplane to my place, so you likely won't EVER get a chance to hear my system, so this will have to do...

Gear is:

Oppo105 Sabre Reference DAC (24/192khz)

Emotiva XSP-1 Reference pre-amp

DCX for EQ

The left and right each get their own LG clone amp for power. That's 2100watts to each tweeter, 2100watts to each mid... and soon to be 4200watts to dual UM-15's woofers.

^^^ Example of Hi-Fi SQ

^^^ Example of Maximum-Output

I like it loud, that's why I need so much wattage, to keep the amps from clipping the tweeters.
