Looks like Scott's pair. Quick! Go direct maybe you can get a grand or two off. Hehehehehe.

Scott has ordered the Mk2's and doesn't want to ship back his original pair for the upgrade.  I believe he said he's also going to switch finishes, Steinway Piano Black I believe.

Can understand the shipping concerns -- I have a hard enough time thinking about doing anything with my 5s for the same reason.....but if Scott's are up in Dallas, I could come with a truck and haul them down to Austin, am sure the wife would love them the living room LOL.

Scott is in for a treat. Heaven knows Rodney, Jim and I are lovin' the Mk2. Still, the Mk1 remains a loudspeaker to wreckon with.

Patrick, you know, they aren't actually as dominating in a room as pics might suggest. From the front, they don't look much larger than your VR-5s. Your wife really might love 'em!

Hey Jack, is this is why they call audio retailers 'dealers'?..LOL......Yeah, am sure she is about as likely to love them as she is the $50k addition to the mortgage required to acquire them.....
