Angel City Tour
« on: December 15, 2010, 03:01:10 PM »
Hey there Hugh,
 When you start your tour, I want to be in line for the M845 mono blocs :drool: :drool:

 Those are some beautiful pieces and from what I heard at RMAF, the Melody gear is would be on my short list for tube amps.

  But...... I want to be last in line :rofl:

Howdy Bill,

Do you mean M845, PM845, or MN845?

You're always 1st in my book BUT as you wish, you'll be last. :D

I thought it'd be a good idea to have your own thread to discuss tour possibilities, Hugh.. so here it is!
I split the topics above from the sticky thread because I want to keep that more general.
Thanks,
Carl
I really enjoy listening to music.

You got it Chris. I have a thing for the M845 monos  :drool:

As much as I like the others, especially the big boys after seeing them at the show, I think the M845s would give me more of that SET sound. They're all sexy looking and the match the Purity linestages :thumb: I would love to hear a Purity matched up with the Melody amps

I don't think you are going to want to send the MN845 giants out on tour :roll:

Thank you guys.

Chris,
Thanks for the warm welcome. :)

Bill,
You're right, MN845 are too big and heavy to go on tour. ;)
Currently I have the Pure Black 101 playing along with PM845 and it is the BEST I've heard personally.

Also, M845 are currently with Larry Borden of Stereotimes for a review so as soon as I get them back, we'll see about sending them out.

 Hugh, would love to try them out. I use 211 based rebuilt Consonance amps with Pipedream speakers. Please place me on the tour for NYC, thanks. Maybe we could plan around one of our  Audiosyndrome club meetings [ third Friday of the month] and feature the amp. Two birds one stone.

Whatever you send I would be happy to use to host an event at my place.  My speakers are a bit demanding on power, I would say minimum 100wpc for a ss amp, not sure about tube power. 
If you're sending speakers, I use a McIntosh MC402. 

I would keep the gear swapping to a minimum.  Most folks know what my room/system sounds like so there would be a good comparison to my normal setup.

If that sounds good, put me on the list of whatever you want to send.

New tube amp for my system, or rake grapple for my tractor ....



Hugh, if you do send these out on tour on the east coast I'd like to take the opportunity to listen to them as well.
If it's too loud, you're too middle aged.

Carl, we have Blue Shift Audio, an Angel City Audio dealer right here in Fuquay Varina, NC, not 10 miles from me.

http://www.blueshiftaudio.com/

He might want to come to a g2g, or host one himself, or bring the equipment, or whatever.

That PM845 does look very cool... or is it hot?  8)  70W SEPP.   :thumb:
