    Everest II Audition

    The last weekend of July there will be the first audio show in the San Francisco Bay Area in years... The California Audio Show.

    http://www.caaudioshow.com/

    I will be involved and will be holding a rather unique demo. We will have the Everest II, 1400 Array, and Revel Ultima Salon2 all set up for demos in the same room. In addition the Everests will be setup in a bi-amp configuration as well as the standard single amplified configuration so that show attendees will have an opportunity to hear it in both configurations.

    So, for everyone wanting to spend some quality time with these amazing speakers here is your chance.

    I'll wager that room has horrible acoustics. What was JBL thinking with that photo?

    You're just jealous!

    A friend of mine actually lives in a somewhat similar space and due to the controlled directivity of horn systems it can actually sound amazingly good.

    Now, I am sure the imaging suffers if you are sitting on that couch.

    looks like that living room where the guy parks his Ferrari at night ....its been in the news , he has an electric drawbridge that is causing fights with the zoning commission...


    LATER: no..I guess thats a different guy

    If many of you have that sentimental attachment to your vehicle to the point where you hate leaving it in the garage at night, then you can most probably share your feelings with Holger Schubert. The 43-year-old product designer loves his Ferrari 512 BBi Boxer so much that he parks it in the middle of his living room next to his stylish furniture, bookcase and a flat-screen TV that slides on tracks pasted on glass-made walls that frame a view of the ocean.
    Sounds like a dream right? Well, it’s about to become one for Schubert as well. Los Angeles officials are about to ask him to tear down his exquisite garage after neighbors complained about a bridge that connects his Ferrari’s third-floor parking spot with North Tigertail Road.
    The ruling by the West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission comes after the extravagant garage won Architectural Digest magazine’s Design Driven contest last year.

    Schubert says that his neighbors turned against the whole garage/bridge idea after his home-remodeling project started taking too long, about five years.
    Either way, if the neighbors win, Schubert’s 1984 Ferrari would have to go back into a regular garage on the first floor.

    Schubert’s showroom is equipped with a hydraulic ramp that lifts the front of the Ferrari up, allowing the car to coast backwards across the bridge without starting the engine. That way no exhaust fumes enter the house.

    Sounds like fun, I'll be there!

    The website says we can bring our own music to listen to - if I bring my favorite CD of Sheena Easton covering "Wind Beneath my Wings" am I gonna get my a** kicked?

    If you can sit through that same song as covered in "Anchorman", then I'll be impressed.

    yep. If I can wing it (no ribbing please), I'll go. If so, I'll put up a "I'm attending" post
    (or append to this one). Last listen I had wasn't exactly optimum.
