I should get them on Tuesday based on the shipping transit time I read today. As far as VOTM goes I assume August #2 based on this text on the Salk site:

what's next?
This month there will be 2 Veracity-of-the-Month entries as well. Some really wild macassar ebony speakers are just about done.

Audio sculptures! Make sure Jim hand signs them to insure that when they appear at Sothebys in a hundred years your heir's will have good fortunes.

Any comments as to the XO point b/t ribbon and Excel?

No comments from me. Some of the other owners might comment. I have not heard mine yet.

Not sure what the point is, but it is seemless.

My stands are all 1" thick black acrylic with 3" solid aluminum columns. I think the black will match the ebony nice! Kind of like this one but without the protective paper:

Hmmm...Now that is a very good question. Ah I got an idea how about a nice new BC204 Hybrid amp with a Walnut faceplate and black cover. Man I bet that would be sweet. Glad I had one on order

Gordy · « **Reply #18 on:** 26 Aug 2005, 04:28 am »

I thought your speakers weren't due in until Tuesday...

My System has been updated for 2 months. The BC204 amp will be here in Sept but you will notice that it is listed there as well.

Yes I am a freak...I know
