I closed on our new building yesterday. Looking forward to relocating out of the basement shop. Upgrading with about 10 times the space. And a forklift!!!
EXCELLENT news George!!! Hope to see the MetroPlex everywhere in the future!

Thanks!
This purchase has been a 4 month long ordeal. Endless hoops to jump through, daily tasks to handle, red tape....oh! and coming up with the down payment and closing costs money. I've been hustling my ass off. And eating some cheap meals lately.
Now I'm excited, exhausted, freaked out and more motivated than ever. LOL

Very cool George! Glad to see you are expanding the business. Looks like you might need to fix a room up for testing. Sound proof room or something? So you can really crank!
Man, I want a MetroPlex so bad. Gonna have to get some funds together. I am going to try to swing one of those. Seems like the ultimate Plexi.

Thanks all!!!
We are going to use one of the offices for a demo room. I'll put some plexi stacks and some Metropoulos amps in there. There are tile floors throughout, so rugs and sound treatment will be necessary.
There is sooooo much to do, it's overwhelming. We are cleaning every evening and will start painting some rooms this weekend.
I'll start building benches too.
So much for trying to work less and sleep more....... LOL

Does this mean I will be installing overhead shop lights and outlets at this location as well ?
You think you're gonna' need a 220 line for the English heads, too ? heh

This shop is pretty well wired and lighted. Not much to do, happily.
Just visit and play loud!
We recently added 230V primary to our PT's. Now equipped with: 100, 120, 220, 230 and 240. That should accommodate every location we might ship an amp to.

Hi George
Wow, that's great news! Wish you all the best. And yes 230V is pretty exactly what we need in Europe and Switzerland .
