New speakers almost done :)
« on: 7 Oct 2015, 11:54 pm »
Hey everyone just thought I would post that I have noticed that my new salk speakers are almost done.  I just got surround I and center for movie/tv duty.  this is my first dip into salk sound but after talking to Jim multiple times on the phone over the year or so and also listeing to his really nice higher end speakers at the newport show this year I had to take the leap. 

Anyways very excited to get them when they are ready.:)

I remember my excitement while I was waiting for my new center channel speaker. Your speakers will be there lickity-split. Enjoy!

I envy that you were able to "notice" that they're almost ready. I stalked that progress tracking website like it was my job!

Welcome to the club, my speakers make me smile on a daily basis!

Congrats!!!

Which speakers did you get and what colour finish did you go for?  I am enjoying my Soundscape 8s and am expecting the Exotica 3s to arrive any day now.

hey yeah I got a pair of Surround I as my mains and a song center. Eventually I plan to buy songtowers and make the surrounds I into surround duty :)

I live in a small condo and towers would not work currently.  I am never really that creative with speaker finishes but I got the zebra finish horizontal with black dye.  Someone awhile back posted speakers with this finish and I just really loved it and bonus--my wife liked it too lol.

and sounds like they will be shipping very soon...getting excited.  :)

Just popping in to say I got my center yesterday and like everyone always says, the finish is awesome looking.  Once I replaced my old center I got years ago the sound got so much better and that was just watching tv :)

Today my L and R arrive so excited.

Excellent!

We expect updates every 50 hours or so on what you notice different in your new center vs the old one. Also include your reactions and feelings.

You can't just disappear into audio nirvana. You have a responsibility now!  :icon_lol:

Hey already chucked my old center, it was a cheap 80 dollar one I got from a I dont even remember.  Definitely noticing better details and nicer bass than my old one.  Oh yeah and it looks way way way better lol.  I uploaded some photos the last one I did then realized it was upside down lol but then notice that it showed a Mickey Head...lol its right way up now though i just took the photo cause of Mickey Mouse :)
