New K2 S9900

[Titanium Dome]

I got home and immediately face the challenge of getting them in the house. Phase one was getting them backed up to the front door as close as possble, so I jammed the Sorento right up to the porch. Then Huiky (bless her) helpe be get them out and down the steps to the main floor.

We never lifted them. We used physics, fulcrum points, and leverage, plus a nice flannel sheet to move them across the Travertine and hardwood without scratching anything. It was a lot easier than we expected.

We got them into the living room without any sprains, pulls, cuts, or bruises.

[Titanium Dome]

Yeah, I know, it's like a blog, but, sheesh! I'm pretty excited.

Getting them out of the box was pretty easy with the side access of the boxes.

1. Cut the tape on the front flap.
2. Open the four flaps.
3. Wiggle/slide the speaker and its foam protectors out.

Taking off the shroud was a little like opening a treasure. It was more exciting than I can say.

Underneath, was the beautiful thing.

Set up and listening will wait until tomorrow. For now, a few more shots of these beauties.

On the right speaker, you can see a very small chip on the top edge. On the left speaker you can see a dinged corner at the top right. These imperfections are shipping damage, and will not detract from my enjoyment whatsoever.

Hopefully I can get some better photos in daylight tomorrow. My plan is to get them set up and give them a whirl with what I've got around the house, then we'll see where to go from there.

It's un-freaking-believable that these beauties are sitting in my house. I can't believe I have the composure to wait until morning to hook them up.

Once again, thank you Design Interaction, and thank you Widget for being my enabler in getting this final big hit of JBL Northridge, US-made gear.

Titanium Dome,

My heartfelt congratulations on the additions to the family ! There is just nothing quite like the unpacking and admiring of a new pair of speakers, and especially something of the caliber of the K2. Every moment is to be savored and recorded, to be remembered and enjoyed later, time and time again.

I wish you many, many long and enjoyable hours or setup and listening.

Big Kudos to Widget and Co too ! Way Above and Beyond IMHO

Cheers

Scott

Hey Ti, they are sweet looking speakers, ENJOY THEM you deserve them. I'm digging the that deep rich toned wood cabinetry. The horns and 045BE look so precise and attractive at their positions and installment in those gorgeous K2 cabs. YEAH BABY!

[Titanium Dome]

Thanks, Scotts.

ScottyJ, did you see your amps in the back of Widget's van?
