Pete Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Hey guys, Ive been working hard on getting a good setup at my new place in Wellington CBD and im going to be having some listening sessions here now its all set up. Ive got our top of the line gear set up, including Sachem amps built by Franco Viganoni, and our Avanti series speakers, which are considered a reference by many people who have heard them, and have been purchased by reviewers and other organisations such as TVNZ and other sound engineers. So who is local in Wellington and is keen to listen to some serious gear, as per usual bring some music you are keen to listen to, ill supply some drinks and nibbles etc. Who is keen? could be at lunchtimes or after work...whatever is convenient. This is more a social thing, but if you hear them and decide you must have Audio Pro at home I'm more than happy to chat about different options and arrange some deals through our retailers. Let me know times that would work for you! For the pursuit of the music, Pete
kaka Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Hi Peter I haven't heard mention of the Sachems for ages, that would be intriguing. What is your source componentry?
monoclepop Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I'd love to come listen to a good system, especially something with a decent turntable that lets me spin the first track of Love Supreme.
Luckiestmanalive Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Ah... brilliant! I would love to come along. Of an evening would be more relaxing than a lunchtime session but I would make an effort to attend either event.
ren1316 Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 I would be keen. Aftet hours would suit better. John
Ernie1553552694 Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Them Sachems are a wonder to behold. Wish I was there.
kaka Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 The Film Festival kicks off on the 16th - a date before it starts (or after it finishes) might maximise turnout
Jon1553552729 Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Talking about turntables... I could bring along Candy or perhaps the new Slate deck I am building...
Hifi Si Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I am keen and can come along during the day or evening...
Pete Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 Hey guys, thanks for all the replies! I will let you know a date once have it confirmed, at the moment I am using our DVD-One as a cd player and a pre-amp. http://www.audiopro.com/templates/audio_pro_products/?id_products=493 I dont have a turntable set up, but if someone wants to bring along a turntable then send me a PM and we can organise it!
Jon1553552729 Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 PM Sent. I will bring Candy... I might (if it is finished) bring the Black Prince

Jon1553552729 Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Can anyone give me a lift, please? It would have to be there and back! My car has broken down... I live in Island Bay... PM me if you can. Thanks a lot!

We already have a number of enthusiasts coming out of the woodwork, but do have room to squeeze in a couple more, so take a couple hours out to indulge your passion in audio toys Pete
Guest Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Just down the road from the Grand century restaurant ? How handy. Have fun guys.
Manolo1553552697 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Happy to join. Date and time are your call. Cheers.
whale Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Be sure to take some photos! Interested to see what's going on!
Hifi Si Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Hi Pete Thank you for hosting a great evening and showcasing your gear to us. It was also an opportunity to listen to some new music and of course to meet and put some faces to names from this forum. I hope that you haven't put the speakers back against the wall! I need to get around to organising a session up at my place sometime early next month.
