Received my Sapphire XLs tonight!

mini review: ...Awesome!

I certainly hear a change in sound within the first few minutes, the image snaps into focus and the sound becomes noticeably more open.  I know break-in actually takes like 60 hours, but already I'm thrilled!

Thanks!

My wife thought a pipe broke because I forgot to tell hear about the pink noise I downloaded for break-in.

My seven-year-old says:  "Oh, cool..., and I like the spinny thing!"
He was of course referring to the "pinwheel" pattern on the woofer.  I'm not sure if this is exactly the owner quote Mike would be mining for, but there it is.   :D

I want to make sure that the sand I use to fill my speaker stands is nice and dry.  So, uh, did I actually just ask my wife if she would mind if I use the oven to dry out some sand?  Yes, in fact, I did.  Now, she is unable to stop laughing.

BTW The speakers are just about broken in, and my impression is, of course, extremely favorable.  I can post more detail under the customer review thread later, I just thought the sand thing was funny.
