It's only open to US residents though :M :rant: So us canucks can't enter :F ;s@ :321: :letitout:

[audioqueso]

Except Florida.

[Stoney]

Cool!!!! Probably the only way I'd ever get a set of 800's.

[stantheman2]

Curse you, aud19! I entered the contest when it first popped up, and it hasn't been advertised too prominently. Now, with your post and all the gonzo B&W fanatics on club B&W, you've considerably lowered my odds of winning.

[Azeke]

Don't worry Stantheman2, if I win I will sell you my Mirages .

Regards,

Azeke

Damn, Not for europeans !! Curses

[bigburner]

As New Zealand is in the South Pacific, I consider that I live in Hawaii for the purposes of this competition.

The lengths a man will go to to get his hands on some B&Ws...

Well for entering I got a DVD in the mail today.

When I open the gatefold I see a brochure about B&W along with a tour about how these are made along with interviews and such with the makers and musicians whom use B&W speakers.

There are 4 stereo mixes from:
Alfred Brendel - famous pianist. The Schubert piece was recorded by Abbey Road using N802 speakers.

Cassandra Wilson -Jazz Vocalist: Miles Davis tribute song "right here, right now"

Dave Stewart - songwriter and producer working alongside Annie Lennox. Unreleased song called "Make the Devil Mad" exclusive to this dvd.

Jan Garbarek - singer. Knot of PLace and Time from his new album

DTS 5.1 mixes:

Fountain of Acqua Paola by Charles Tomlinson Recorded by Craig Leon

Running Away with you by Sara K

Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree Pyschodelic Rock

Theme from Battery by Amon Tobin - Dance music

DTS 6.1 mixes!!

Born Too Slow by Crystal Method

Sweetly the Air Flew Overhead" by Martin Ware.

I'll post more when I listen to it.

[aud19]

[Azeke]

DBH Jason,

[Mark_C.]

Got mine, too. It's a shame it won't play on my Denon 2900. Watched it on the computer, though, only I can't listen to the DTS tracks. Opening is Peter Gabriel in concert. Very nice.

[Shane Martin]

Watched parts of it. The DTS 6.1 mix by Crystal Method is amazing stuff and I don't like multi channel music.

[Stoney]

Received the DVD yesterday. Could only play it on the computer Would love to listen to it on the HT. Tried on three players other than the computer. Any way to get it to work on the HT player? Why won't it play on mine?

[Shane Martin]

What player do you have? I have a Sony 80V 5 disc dvd player.

Mark C couldn't get it to play on his Denon 2900.

[Clive]

DVD+R or DVD-R?

[Stoney]

I have Dennon DVD-1000, Toshiba DVD/VCR, and Sampo region free.

[PewterTA]

DVD is a pressed DVD, not a DVD recordable.

[tboooe]

So who won the speakers?? Anyone here willing to confess???

[RobP]

They draw the winner on Nov 1st.

[Lewing]

I just received the DVD today and it sounds amazing!!!

[tboooe]

oh ok..when I win I wont forget all of the little folks...

[mtodde]

Is this the same DVD that came with Stereophile a few months back?

I saw the DVD and heard the 8xxD line at Georgia Home Theater maybe 5 or 6 months ago. My impression was that the low & high end were great, but there was something missing in the mid-range.
