Room FULL of speakers near Vancouver

All the things i’ve inquired about are not going :^(
Dave, I have to hang on to the big beauties of course.
I have a shipload of your size drivers but I would not dare part with the ones you have dabbled in. That's like returning a birthday gift, saying 'no thanks'. C'mon, not even Cal is that crass.
Besides the ones you asked about recently, are by far and away the greatest s***s & giggles speaker I ever built. Even 200% Norse says he sides with me on those.
 
The ones with the Holey Basket Corals as Midranges?
Yes Dave, the famous back of the napkin, while dining, speakers we started designing during one of your earlier visits. It was my first open baffle midrange. You held my hand through the process. It was the second speaker I took to the RAW fest at Al Wooley.'s place.

Are those 604's I see? If I lived closer I'd want those.... But a few thousand kilometers are between us.
Yes, one of the pairs is for sale. Are you a jogger? If you start now, I could meet you half way.
Here's what the other ones are destined to be, one of these days, you know, when I win the lottery and I buy a big house that needs multiple systems.
These are the pair, not for sale.

Just had a very nice couple drive five plus hours north from Portland and have a good rummage through things. I am happy to say they left with a duffle bag full of goodies and I sure am looking forward to seeing what comes out of it.
Nice to meet you B & L.
I hope by now your tummies are full. 😉
Cheers.

Yes wolf, it would be great to have you over. Al Wooley was the greatest host for sure, when I got to join them it was so nice.
What we need now is the locals to make sure this isn't a lifetime wasted.
Today, those wonderful Portland visitors were interested in the smaller side of things. I appreciate that. I hope they are happy with the take home.
It was great to spend the time.
Now, who's in for some bigger stuff?
Also we can't forget the ready to plug in boxes. Lot's of those. Bookshelf to floor standing to HT too..

Bring on the questions. I want this stuff gone and I want it in the right hands.

When Al visited San Francisco I had him over. I had a set of the ra8' s. Good people in audio make it worthwhile.
 
Maybe you could take another round of photos and post them to show what's left?
Over the past three days, the following have gone missing:

All eight of the CSS WR 125 4.5" drivers
The only pair of Vifa TG9 3.5" FR

The only four of Swan dome tweeters
The only pair of Aurum Cantus G3Si ribbons
The only pair of CSS RT-1 ribbons
