Congrats, catastrofe!

Seems like I am just a few miles from you -- Naperville. Maybe I can hear them some time

the veneer is simply awesome.

Thanks guys. This is the same veneer Jim has on his personal pair of SoundScapes. When I visited him in May I thought they were stunning. I like the way the black in the veneer picks up the black in the upper module.

They were delivered this afternoon. My son and I got them into the house, but I've hired my neighbor's professional moving services to get them upstairs tomorrow. Can't wait!!

PICS?

Wifey had the camera with her today, so no shots of the delivery truck. Speakers are still boxed up until they're moved upstairs. Stay tuned....

Anyone that's traveling to/thru Saint Louis is welcome to stop by for a listen. Just give me a day or two warning.

Absolutely gorgeous, Jim. Can I send my next pair of speakers to you for finishing?

Here are a couple of pictures, which of course, don't do the speakers justice.

Very nice. Care to give some details about what kind of gear you are driving them with?

Hope you are enjoying them, I know I am enjoying mine!
