i think things are getting a little complex. we've got 3 sets of things to do....
1) try out steves speakers. this is effectively going to mean a second system set up, a source, robbo's a/r amp, another bass amp and steves speakers.
2) the cd player shoot out, i've got all the cables and gubbins necessary to connect them all up at the same time (how about we arrange for the same cd x 3 just to get really anal so we can do live source switching? i vote shpongle, are you shpongled as i know robbo has this and i'm sure someone else comming must have it?) and we can stack them on top of my cd5 so that ones a piece of cake.
3) Trying the esl's on my kit - do these need a power supply? either way it should be a matter of pluging them in and off we go.
#1 is the logistical problem. we can either do this first or last. i'd be inclined to say do it first so that the decks can be cleared afterwards otherwise there's going to be a lot of kit hanging about in the room taking up valuable space.
#2 should be a doddle.
#3 the only problem here is space so i'd say do this after we've had a good listen to steve's stuff.
this way we also have less heavy kit shifting as the day goes on.
just as an asside does anyone have any special food or drink requirements? i was going to do chips, dips and snacks, etc. as i'm a crap cook.
i'll be pming directions etc. to everyone on the list sometime tomorrow
cheers
