Those who follow my work (http://www.klipschcorner.com/BlogDetail.aspx?guid=49d2af0f-fbea-425d-8840-b44d3b632e56) know that I've been a vocal fan of the Palladium series since the beginning. I've recently decided that my kids don't really need to go to college; I've ordered up the Palladium P-39F in the Merlot finish and I was told to expect delivery "mid May". I will only have the Front L/R until the center is available in June, and the rest of the system will have to wait till next year for me, these ain't cheap.
I expect it will be quite a long time before these are commonly available to listen to around the country, so in keeping with my Demo Network philosophy (http://www.klipschcorner.com/DemoNetwork.aspx) I'm inviting Klipschers over to my place to hear the P-39F at the end of May. This should be taken as Tenative since ship dates are not in stone, but I am thinking either May 31st (Saturday) or June 1st (Sunday).
I realize my Aragon, Denon, and Integra gear may not be considered Up to Snuff by the solid state and digital hating crowd. So, while you people are nutjobs, I'm willing to go a step furthur: I'll clean up my racks (I've got space: http://www.klipschcorner.com/Image.aspx?path=images/Profiles/Profile1_3.jpg) and encourage anyone who's interested in coming to bring any tube amps, pre-amps, or transports that might be interesting to audition the P-39F on. If ole Boomac is around I'll try to get him to bring some of his NOS/BAT gear regardless.
{Edit: I would really like to record a podcast out of this, nothing formal just people talking about what they thought}
I plan on cross-posting this, but I'll be checking the thread in 2ch most often.
