I invite guests to sit on my lap when they come over if they're looking for that sweet spot.
Is that a :banana: in your pocket or do you love this disc???

...would be interested in attending (or, perhaps hosting)

So, it is true that I can't host at my abode, BUT... I am a student at an audio production school (actually a professional production house) in SF. Their main control room has a 13.2 (I think; maybe it's 11.2) system for mixing and playtesting. I'll be taking a 5.1 mixing class in July from an instructor (the top mixer for the production company) I currently take a Pro Tools class with, and we've already bonded over our shared love of music in surround. I'll see him tomorrow for class, and I'll chat him up about maybe organizing a "community event." Wouldn't be able to have food or drink in the control room, but there's a modest canteen adjacent and additional space in the lobby. I'll ask about what formats they are capable of playing back; I have doubts about SACD. Bonus: the location is convenient to Caltrain, BART, and has a nearby municipal parking garage (not cheap until the evenings).
I'd relish the opportunity to have a listening party in a surround studio. Speaking of other venues where we could meet, there are a few places open to the public that have surround sound programs. The Audium has shows every weekend, but there's also CCRMA at Stanford, CNMAT at Berkeley, Sound Box at the SF Symphony, and occasionally there's something at the Exploratorium. Also, the SFMoMA will be reopening in May, with a Meyer Constellation muti-channel sound system, and soon we'll have a new public space in SF dedicated to surround audio, called Envelop.

What does a convention of headphone music listeners do when they get together?
All sit in a room with their headphones on and ignore one another?
Wow! I'm down for any of this!
Edison B. have you been to the Audium? It's a Bay Area institution, like 40+ years of immersing folks in surround sounds...

Actually they are quite lively events. Many headphone fans as well as headphone, amp and DAC companies in attendance discussing various products, music, tweaks, etc.
Check the Head-Fi web site for meet ups in your area. Quite interesting and educational.
That's probably better for them; they have a huge project going on for a couple months.I could attend as early as April, but May would be better.
