The Eagle Has Landed!!
Oh My!
It will take me several days to setup and listen to do a really good job in writing up a review or impressions post.
All I was able to do today was take them out of the box, stare at them, put the bases on, put them in place, hook up the biwires, and I did play 3-4 of Jims demo tunes...I had to end it there due to family plans with my wonderful grandaughter!!
...
The original plan was to get home early and play, but work and life sometimes just do not line up the way you want.
But the neat thing is the wait is over and my first impressions were, very, very well packed, no damage anywhere, 2 boxes, one for the speakers and one for the other stuff.
Jims Birth Certificate and the entire construction / build team signing it was a real neat thing to get.
I got the satin black finish and they are extremely classy looking, like very, very professional looking....serious and looking like they mean business.
I was impressed at the detail and the many instruction sheets included. But there was ONE item that was totally unexpected in the smaller box with the plinths...
The instructions on maintenance indicates not to use wax or polish...just a slightly damp cloth to wipe them down every once in awhile. But I never expected Jim to actually throw in a really nice BRIGHT YELLOW MICRO-FIBER CLOTH to use to wipe them down!!!
I called Jim and joked with him about this, I told him it was not clear why this cloth was included!!
only kidding! But it made me smile to see this yellow object in a zip lock bag!
Awesome!
The based and the spikes seem to work well in my carpet and are very stable, seeing how slender and tall the SongTowers are. You need to be careful threading the spikes in the base, its easy to cross thread them....
The build quality very, very good, the look and the drivers look absolutely fantastic. Yes I get turned on with really great stuff and I think I am just happy to look at them!!
I did play 3-4 tunes but will hold back on a musical review after I get a few days of playing all my favorites etc...but from what little I heard with the first placement in my room this is going to be a real treat....I can tell.
Be back in a few days with pix as well.
All the Best
