I'm sure I will love them. And according to the tracking info, they are already in the next town over, so they just might arrive a day early! WOO-HOO!!!! Don't worry, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's taking plenty of pictures, posting them and talking a lot about things I love!

Per the tracking number this morning...

Chops,

1. I cannot see your the Monitor Audio spkrs from yr photos?
2. what will happen to them?
3. Just curious why you abandon yr OB project(JBL horn and Usher drivers) and sold everything?

You're joking, right? I sold those things off several weeks ago.

I didn't "abandon" anything. I had to get rid of them because they took up entirely too much room. And they were Altec horns, not JBL.

They don't compare to the above three. No, I take that back. They do compare to my OB project in the fact that they sound loads better than the Monitor Audio's ever did. But actually, the x-statik's are lightyears ahead of the others. These compare more closely to my old Magnepans, except these are only better.

I left them on. Extra protection from kittie teeth for the wires back there.  :wink:

I didn't because it sounds considerably better without them.
