Rbwalt, No, it wasn't Roger. I assume that they may have quite a few orders & a lot going on though. I had to wait for a reply. That's okay though. I wanted to get an EM-7 probably in kit form, so my wife could have good sound in her office.
Kngale, I thought it was unusual too. I would have asked for a deposit, then put the order in queue. There is nothing, or at least it seems that way, to prevent my intended order from being delayed again.
