You hit the nail on the head.
I changed us to this venue and building because of the problems you mentioned.
We will have:
-a presentation room which accommodates 100 people. That way there will not be a bar in the same room as the presentations-no clanking and shouting.
-A Hospitality room. Lots of clanking and shouting, with drinks and food and tables to sit around. Green's restaurant is about 100 feet away, and an unlimited number of restaurants if you want to go a bit further!
-Small Listening room. Good for small speakers and flea-amps.
-3 Large listening rooms. We will have a system on each end of the room, with various components to swap in, and yes, we will try to clump similar items together. Probably have one dedicated to mostly Pass clones and variations, an one multi-way and one more full-range.
How structured it needs to be in advance will have to be studied, but the listening time will probably be 10 times more efficient, as When one system is having a component or two swapped out, you can be listening to the system on the other side. Or just walk to another room, like an audio show..

Great! Sounds excellent, and I'd be happy to help out if needed. I'm planning on bringing a carload of the surplus M&K speaker & sub enclosures to donate to the raffle/give-away, assuming you're still having that also.
GREAT! Yeah, maybe its better for you volunteers to all mention that you are interested by posting here now.
I mean the ones that haven't yet! Early volunteers get the best jobs. One of the most necessary is a "marshal" for each listening room to make sure that everyone gets to rotate in their stuff. Of course during presentations they are free to go listen, and maybe we can rotate them between the rooms to keep it interesting...

Mark,
I make sure I have some goodies for the raffle - I'll pump Elektor and AudioXpress ;-)
I also bring a bunch of Linear Audio Vol 0 bookzines to raffle off. Maybe also get some sponsors for lunch even !!
As a project I will bring a couple of monoblocks and a wireless preamp to set levels at the remote monoblocks and such.

Ok,guys,
Jan should be an inspiration to you all!
As a reward I'm gonna let him stay in our guest room in S.F.
I have a copy of Linear Audio 1v0 and it is awesome! All meat and no fat! We should support him. Jan, bring a bunch of copies to sell also-We can get you a table..

I can even do better! In the Oct Elektor issue, there is a Doug Self design for a power amp consisting of 32 parallel NE5532 dual opamps!
See here: The 5532 OpAmplifier, part 1 - ELEKTOR.com | Electronics: Microcontrollers Embedded Audio Digital Analogue Test Measurement
I'll be bringing a stereo version to BA for demo and prying eyes!

Yes they will offer the PCB's on their website, but it may be some time; the issue with part I is just out.
