Robb/All,

Thanks for hosting yet again Robb. Having a group over is always a lot of work and you did it all in stride. I just showed up with a few goodies ;^)

Those that made it. Thanks. It's the best part of my job, meeting customers and future customers. They tell us what they want, we try to build it and service it such that future meetings are as pleasant as this one. We clearly did have a bit of an issue with the MTS-01 speakers (though the center and MBS-01's the biggest offenders) we are investigating. More of those tweeters have failed than should be the case.

The PB13-Ultra's certainly did acquit themselves well, and having done the A/B part with the AS-EQ1 Audyssey sub EQ about 100 times on Saturday I know much of the refinement we experienced is due to that. Power without control is no power at all, after all. Anyway, our little side project is about a year behind schedule and we've never been more excited by it. Beta testing has started and will conclude with pre-orders when/if we get that far.

Anyway, it was indeed some of the most impressive sound, maybe the best I've heard myself. Frankly Robb's room was a bit of a mess (acoustically speaking!) with the subs just stacked alone. I want dual Ultra subs and the box just like Robb. We'll do the reception again with full latest of everything.

I might even bring some non-adolescent music when the MTS-01 speakers are back in production and the AS-EQ1 is shipping. Those kids like their bass, and I can't argue with it. Gorillaz, Beck, Yello and Kanye West are good for business ;^)

PS I'll send Robb some of the pics my wife/photographer shot, in some cases of people even. We'll get them up here soon as we can.
