...Now how does one spend the time waiting without going crazy?Joel
I am waiting for my open-baffle speakers in Tineo veneer too. Hopefully Jim manages to take a few pictures before he packs them up today.
Sweet Barry, I have a friend who is a Mac dealer. If you need any help scoring one for a good price just let me know and I can put you guys in touch.
rydenfan, thanks, I will sure give you a shout if I decide to buy a second MC275. Jim just emailed me and told me that he had shipped my speakers!!!!! I don't know about you guys, but Jim is one of the FINEST men I have ever met. He worked on my speaker until 10pm last night, but when he listened to it, he didn't quite like how they sounded. So today he took apart the speakers and modified the crossover. He finally got it done by late afternoon. However the FedEx Ground cutoff time is 6pm, and he thought he would probably miss it. But he rushed it out anyway and reached FedEx center at 6.05pm - just managed to sneak them into the truck I felt so bad putting him through all these. If he had given me a call today, I would have told him to slow down and I would be equally happy if he ships them out on Monday.But Jim is just being Jim.... what more can I say?

Thanks for your kind words...its now a 6 year long battle with cancer and it really sucks at times...I chose the plain black satin, basically because all my other speakers are flat black...satin finish...money isnt the real issue, but the black will fit in my listening room cosmetically very well.I spent a few hours tonight listening to the Dahlquist QX10, that are biwired and really sound wonderful...very musical tight bass, but they lack in overall dynamic range...training my ears for the upcoming speakerfest! They are only 34 " tall, 18 deep and 8 in wide...and have 3 5" speakers and one 1" titanium dome tweeter...The Dahlquists are ready for bi-wiring, I was wondering if the QWTs are or can the be? I sent Jim an email on this.I like the Acoustic Alchemy cd's, I got to see them in a small concert and was in the front row, for FREE!! I really lucked out,even if i had to sit in front of a large speaker in the sound setup!!! Unamplified strings are a very good test of a speaker...its how 'musical' they produce sound, you know do instruments sound like instruments?? The mid-range is sooooo soooooo impoprtant here...Reed instruments also are a real challenge, like the sax and clarinet.....cant wait to play all those Spyrogyra cds as well...I think the one thing that will make these speakers much better imaging than the dahlquists is they are taller and the tweeter is at ear level, this should work out very well.Ok for now..laterAlex

Five months ago I accidentally stumbled upon Nuance's post - In Search of the Perfect Speaker. Since that day I have been following this forum and the AVS forum every day, learning about Salk Speakers. And getting very excited about speakers that I have never heard. I have been dreaming about a high end stereo for at least 35 years and yet never had the ability to endulge myself.Well those days are over my friends. Dreams can come true if you persevere - I just ordered a pair of HT2 speakers in transmission line cabinets and can't tell you how great it feels. The appropiate amp will have to wait a while so as to gather more funds.These will be the first and only Salk speakers here in Israel as well as in all of the Middle East. Thank you everyone for posting comments and thoughts and pictures - and Nuance for starting this bug on the internet and getting me as well as others involved.I look forward to posting MY impressions!!!Now how does one spend the time waiting without going crazy?Joel
