Any PL news or pictures from CES 2008?

Well?

There was the big NP free pass giveaway a few weeks ago. Presumably all you lucky recipients are at the show seeing the sights and taking pictures. If you will, please draw yourselves away from your umbrella drinks and share with us shut-ins.

Thank you.

Scroll down 2/3 of the page. New speaker toy from Papa, or something from a co-exhibitor...?

That would be the Pass Labs SR-1 (Son of Rushmore) and it's associated active bi-amp electronics. User supplies their favorite flavors of amplification.

Cabinets loaded with SEAS's best.

Hi cyclotronguy,

Please help me understand "associated active bi-amp electronics". Is this simply an XVR1 or is this a son-of-XVR1 that's coming over the horizon?

Hi there, Graeme

At CES we ran the SR1 speakers with a couple of stock XVR1's I swiped from Nelson's listening room when he wasn't looking, (Sorry Nelson... was meaning to tell you about that.) while Nelson put the finishing touches on what will be a product specific crossover package back at home.

The new crossover being product specific will absolutely not allow all the iterations possible with the XVR1... it will from the customer viewpoint behave like the control panel of the Rushmore loudspeaker. Meaning there will be enough control to make the system room friendly, but not enough fiddle room to make it product hostile.

Everyone seems to like the XVR1 as it is and it will continue in it's present form.

Understood and thank you. I will watch for more detail regarding the SR1. It appears to be an intriguing and worthy family addition.

Well, it's been a fun project. The Rushmore was and is pretty spectacular... but it doesn't play well with others. Oh sure you could change interconnects, but other than that you were pretty much stuck to just listening to music!

With the SR1 we've worked to make an adaptable product that makes the most of whatever you wish to feed it with.

Kent,

I would replace "stuck to" with "blessed with". Really. I've only met one Rushmore owner and he seemed to have no end of "front end" things to tinker with. Nature of the beast this audio hobby.
