CraigSub, You know men, for those who cannot make the trek..., like me in Maine. Have you considered a conference ...

CraigSub,

You know men, for those who cannot make the trek..., like me in Maine. Have you considered a conference call on Skype, with an open computer microphone and camera. Those reviewing from a distance over the net, the music may loose fidelity and impact but to watch the proceedings, hear comments, watch body language and see the subs in action..., the opportunity is priceless.

But, what is a GTG anyway? Is it like a shoot-out only better. You know I could get a few interested people together here. You may even sell a few pieces of gear.

Can you let me know..., us know...

Now I'm excited..., I won't sleep for a week in anticipation of this event.

A GTG is more for fun than work. The Skype idea is interesting. Thanks for the idea! Of course, we would have to behave.

For the GTG, how many people are you allowing to attend?

I may just make the drive......

For something in late April, we can accomodate 40 people here. We can actually have three theater setups going at once, although two of them might interfere with each other.

Theater 1 is appx. 25x24 with a 106 inch projections system
Theater 2 is appx. 27x25 with a 65 inch Panasonic plasma
Theater 3 is appx. 44x14.5, also with a 65 in Panasonic plasma

Are those rooms bedrooms??? LOL I jest.
As I saw those room size numbers:
I was thinking that with 3 different sized rooms, using the same equipment, you could demonstrate the differences in power, equalization, and speaker placement required to achieve a particular desired result in rooms of varying sizes.
Thinking further, I thought a dissassembly and reassembly of a subwoofer or a main with an explanation of all of it's component parts would be a useful and interesting demonstration.
And thirdly if there is 3 differing signal sources, amps or AVRs, and EQs to compare, that too would make for an interesting GTG.
And of course, between your company and those masses attending, you would be offering "Special" pricing on Chase Home Theater products for those who will be mightily impressed with the demo and take some units home with them, purchased direct from the company CEO with his own REAL signature (autograph) affixed!
Now THAT"S the way to make Home Theater Shack members feel "special".

As I'm not super technical about all this I sure wish somethig like this would happen in Washington. I think I have spent more time reading forums on here then talking to wife but love learning about new products.

So ... if I am reading this correctly ... I need to give a discount to people willing to look at my ugly signature on our products?

Sorry - I could not resist.

Seriously - there are some good ideas here. If things work out, we will have quite the display of products. We also are going to put the onus of the Skype on our 18 and 20 year olds. They have wanted it, and now the old man has no choice.

And I hope my humour doesn't offend anyone. We take the products seriously, in terms of delivering a lot for your dollar. We don't take ourselves too seriously. This business should be fun, especially for our customers.

I note that you have been on the audio "websites" for some years and have made a huge contribution to the education of hundreds of other enthusiasts with your participation through the forums etc. I like your brand of internet activity.
And now here you are in the midst of building a business model which offers products in the very area of your own long term interests and expertise via the internet. That's a great human interest story and a true American enterprise one of which you should be very proud. I wish you good luck and fortune. I just might make the trip to Erie to hear your story.
