Hello everybody! I was recently referred to this site by Tom through the Polk Audio forum, where I've been a member since 2004. I started there when I was 19, getting fairly vested in the car audio scene until about 3 years ago when the wife and I began our search for our own home. Since then I've run the gamut of pretty much all things Polk and am a little sad to say that, while it was a good run, the likelihood of me owning anything Polk again (at least for the main rig) is arbitrarily close to zero. I'm currently VERY much in love with my Ushers as they seem to have a perfect synergy with the system/room they're in.
You can see my main rig in the sig block, but I also own a Jolida SJ-302a and recently acquired Magnepan SMGa's that are my first project speakers. The Maggies weren't in bad shape at all, but I am planning on modding them to get a little bit of experience under my belt. So far I've only done the dynamat "razor" mod to the front with positive results. Anyways, I am very thankful for the reference since it appears there is a lot of good information on this forum that will do nothing but help me grow in the hobby. I've been trying to find an additional forum to join for the last 6 months or so, but I just couldn't find any that really had anything to offer until now. I will likely be a silent contributor for quite a while as I sponge up what I can.
I've also noticed a few other North Texans on the forum. I've attended LSAF the last three or four years and even showed a rig off last year with the Usher's, a Raven tube integrated, and Douglas Connection cables. If anyone is ever interested in hearing my rig or is willing to let me listen to theirs, please feel free to give me a shout. I'd be happy to bring the beverage for the opportunity to hear a new system.
Edit: Not sure if my sig is actually showing yet, but here is the main dual-purpose rig: Usher CP-6311, Shuguang S200MK, Shuguang S845MK, Pioneer BDP-51fd, MIT Exp1 IC's, PNF Audio SC's, Pangea PC's, Epson 8100
