Behold, the Silver Seven in action.

[megasat16]

Damn! They are so Pretty! I believe they are two sets of Silver Seven? Must be HOT to be in that room?

[madmax]

Nice! Are those yours?

[janmike]

Those are very nice Tom. So.....

[treitz3]

Nice! Are those yours?The Silver Seven's are slated to be mine one day, I already have the arrangements made. Just have to get the $$$ up. The setup consists of a Silver One tube pre that has 19 tubes in it, a Clearview x-over, a Silver 6,7 and 9. We are going to take the best of the best and see what kind of rig we can assemble. Lord knows we have plenty of speaker choices to choose from. We can even set up a trinaural rig if we want running all of these tube amps at the same time.

I will be arriving at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. At 1:01, you will not be able to peel me away from the sweet spot if you had a jackhammer. :D

[madmax]

Cool! I will expect a brown out around 1:02. :)

They already blew a circuit breaker at the cabin~

They blew out a KT-88 as well. They were all sitting at a table with no music playing when they smelled something. When they turned around, one of the tubes had a internal firework show. Not to worry, Bob's there and there are plenty of tubes. ;)

[ben62670]

Tom just because you can take a picture at a gazillion Mega pixls doesn't mean you should. I take most of my internet photos at 1.3 mega pixels, and bump it up to the max if I want to print out a billboard for the side of the road. You can resize those pic for the web easily enough;) Wish I were there. I miss you George, Jerry and Even Russ:(
Have fun guys.
Ben


Edit: What is Bob driving all those KT88's with? Is it a mosfit driver stage?

[schwarcw]

I sure wish I could go with you guys Tom(beemers417) and Tom(thuffman03). There's just too much going on at the dealerships right now.


You hometown boys behave down there! Say hello to George, Tom and Gary!

I miss my AL-III's:(

schwarcw,

I heard from Tom and Tom last night around 6:30. I was told that they were about to be thrown out because "their music was too loud." "But Bill (me BB3) we were only showing 10 watts being put out." hehehe.......

Just thought you would want to know schwarcw.----Bill (BB3)

[Lasareath]

Awesome! I love them. I would steal them from you like I stole my Best Friend's girlfriend once!

It sounds like the guys are having a great time. Fests are good fun when you can get together with so many fine people. Good stuff!

[engtaz]

The top set are Silver 7's 25 tubes with 9 pairs of KT88's(owner refers to them as Silver 9's), the one's below are Silver 6's 15 tubes with 6 pair of KT88's, and the front pair are Sliver 7's 19 tubes with 7 pairs of KT88's. They sound fantastic.

[comfortablycurt]

Drool!! That is some sexy looking tube gear...me likey!

Those amps were amazing. I have never heard or seen a better setup. WOW!

We had some fun this past weekend. Got into some trouble also. Nothing too bad just was in a cabin that did not allow loud music and we did not know that.:eek:

I met Tom and Gary and everyone else down there. All great people. I am looking to make my reservation for next year already.

[engtaz]

Jerry & George, please post close ups of your amps. Cary is drop dead gorgeous and sound sweet. The VTL's sound will blow you away with a stammering WOW when you listen to them.

Thanks for allowing me to hear them guys.

[george daniel]

heres a few

[treitz3]

[skipf]

George's VTL blocks blew me away with their beautiful sound. Jerry's Cary is one of the prettiest amps I've seen, and sounds great to boot. It amazes me how many folks are re-discovering the benefits of old technology.
