    Hooray! I bet you're jazzed!

    As for the grunting and groaning movers, better them than you. Speakers (and speaker bases) are more easily replaced than our backs.

    This has been a rather strange thread for such a seemingly simple topic... I think the point is we'd like to share in your experience and congratulate you on your exceptional purchase.

    So you have now had them for two weeks. Are you happy with them? Are they all that you had hoped? How do they work in your room? I think these are the questions that most of us are curious about.

    In any event, I hope you are happy with them and they work with your room etc. Congratulations on getting some outstanding speakers.

    moving them is a real pain as the bases are 500lbs apeice and there are eight other modules............the former owner is now on my back to take the shippng cases which i have no room for as they alone would fill a one ton cube van and then some.......

    Jim, just to keep this alive.....so how do they sound? And what did you finally get to drive them with? Or is the fine Winnipeg summer weather keeping you from serious listening? I'm spending most of my time outside for sure!

    Maybe after getting some Wilsons in his life he lost interest in Lansing? Yes, it could happen.
    Though it won't happen to many of us die hard lead eared Lansingophiles.
