Let's not insult the man.

It's obviously a Pioneer receiver and a pair of Cerwin Vegas!

FedEX damage testing boxes?

robinje · « **Reply #12 on:** 8 Oct 2008, 09:48 pm »

All good guesses, but DaveC113 got it right on the first try...

The boxes had a few punctures, but due to Jim and crew's excellent packing regime, no harm was done to the speakers.

Nice Songtowers with ribbon tweeters.......What is the wood finish?

Gorgeous speakers. Around here, FedEx only delivers firewood kindling. The local guys are the missing links between Homo erectus and H. sapiens.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, those look like mine! Did you stop by my house, swindle my wife with your good looks and steal my ribbon ST's in Pau Ferro Rosewood?

Oh wait...they are right in front of me!

robinje - I am biased, but those are drop dead GORGEOUS!

You picked a fantastic wood veneer!

I just know you're going to think they sound as great as they look. Would you mind posting some pics over at the AVS owner's thread as well? Here's the link:

I look forward to MORE PICS and your impressions of their sound. Enjoy!

I have exact pair on order that Jim will be finishing after his return from RMAF.

Yippee!

Those are beauties, BTW.

Robinje,

Hey, it could have been a tree house!

You have to post these beauties in the ST of the day/week/month thread.

Enjoy!

Well, not exactly! But I did see the pics of your speakers that Jim posted a while back. I had been thinking about SongTowers for some time, and when the ribbon version appeared to be available I became even more interested. But seeing the pics of your speakers pushed me over the edge!!!

I'll try to remember to put some pics over on the AVS forum. Thanks for the compliments. I could tell right away while trying out Jim's demo CD that I'm going to enjoy these speakers for a long, long time...
