Any interest in hearing Gershman Black Swan Spkr?


I am expecting a pair of Gershman Acoustic, Black Swan, pretty soon. Is there any one in Minneaplolis/St.Paul areas interested in bringing your amps/preamps over for a shoot out event? I will provide some foods and beverages. My goal is to find out what is the best combination of electronics to drive these speakers. I would love to hear Audio Research Ref 3 if you have it.

Here is what I have:
Amp: C/J Premier 350, Premier LP70s, McCormack DNA 500
Pre: C/J CT5, Cary SL P05
Digital: Cary CD 306 SACD, Sony 777ES, McCormack UDP1 DELUXE
Cables: Acoustic Zen, RCA only.

Thanks in advance.

Mdrummer01: OK, I will play "Miss Manners" here. It was very nice and gracious of AnThuan to post his public invitaion meant for everyone. However, you need to make arrangements with him pesonally, not with the rest of A'gon. What purpose does it serve to make a public posting asking him to email you? Why don't you just email him?
Mdrummer01: Geez...I said I look forward to hearing from him (meaning AnThuan), not from Miss Manners or the rest of Audiogon.

It should be obvious that when you choose to post something publicly, it is for all to read and discuss. If you only wanted to hear from AnThuan, well that's what email is for.

I don't know what the problem is, but at this point each of you, instead of sending an email, is asking the other to send the first email. I hope one of you will blink. Based on history I suggest it should be you. In other words, he made a public offer, and it was your turn to respond by email. Still is.

However, after you had your listening session(s), please post a review here. That would be appropriate and most welcome!
