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.

Jond, I think you're my only supporter on this thread, THANK YOU. I thought this is something that audiophiles would love to be part of, for curiosity if anything. Maybe it's too much of a hassle to ask people to bring their electronics to your house for a nice 3-5 hours of pure sonic pleasures with foods and beer. What's alternative? Audiophile out on the frozen lake ice fishing?? That doesnt sound good to me. Anyway, I hope to have at least one interested party so that we can get the party going. Once again, this is Gershman's flagship model which retails for $30K that can reach down to 18Hz

Mdrummer01 and all, I am happy to hear that you're in town and interested in getting together. I would like to get together on Sunday if it's ok as I have to work and have music lesson for the kids on Saturday. I am leaning toward next Sunday (February 4) if you can make it. My place is big enough to accommodate about 10-15 people. I will provide some wine, beer, cheese, crackers, and appetizers, and pizza from Costco. You can stay as long as you want or until I kick you out. Please shoot me an email with a prefered time and date for this event. I will put together a schedule(s) based on your availability.
Thanks

So far we have 3 interested parties for this Sunday. I just recieved the speakers 3 days ago. I like them a lot and can't wait to hear your opinion. Is there anyone else interested in attending? Once again, it's this coming Sunday 2/11/2007. I am thinking about starting at noon- whenever.... Please let me know so I can plan for food and beverages.
