Took a quick look at Elac and didn't see where UniFi could be preordered. Did find this dealer - Ciamara - which accepts PP.
I've never heard of them. Manhattan address. Anyone have experience with Ciamara?b]Beach Audio[/b]: Rega RP6 (mods) - AT33PTG/II - Parks Budgie SUT - PSAudio NPC * Eversolo DMP-A6 * Topping D90iii * Joule-Electra LA-100 mkIII * Pass Aleph 30 * MIT S3 * Polk SRS 2.3tl (mods) * PSAudio PPP3

Great, thanks @halo . Those ELAC pages weren't loading for me earlier and the ones that did showed even the Debut's as "coming soon". Think flushing my cache helped.
Don't see Paypal as a pymt method so it looks like I'll need to find another source. Maybe this Ciamara place if I can confirm trustworthiness.
Coda is a no go too. Goal is to pay with the "slush fund" Paypal acct.b]Beach Audio[/b]: Rega RP6 (mods) - AT33PTG/II - Parks Budgie SUT - PSAudio NPC * Eversolo DMP-A6 * Topping D90iii * Joule-Electra LA-100 mkIII * Pass Aleph 30 * MIT S3 * Polk SRS 2.3tl (mods) * PSAudio PPP3

Hi Everyone, we wanted to send a quick update regarding the availability of the Uni-Fi series. Due to a logistical situation the product will not be available until May 17th.

Oh well, more time to think about which amp and stands will work best with them. Truthfully, I had forgotten how much fun anticipation is. Is it Christmas yet??Vinyl, the final frontier...

Thank you for the heads up. I will not be putting paypal on my website ever. I will also inform ELAC of your "slush fund" paypal -
I will push them to remove paypal and contact Ciamara.

Okeedokey then. (head scratch) I can understand merchants not being overly fond of Paypal, but sheez.
I'm not sure if you're serious - I can only guess that you are. So.... just to be clear, I am *jokingly* calling my Paypal acct my "slush fund" (quotation marks and the silly gif were your clues). It's not actually from illicit revenue. (Would I call attention to it on a public forum if it were? And, now that I think about it, would I be ordering entry level speakers?) hehe
My Paypal is simply my own little account that I use for all audio purchases and sales. It helps me limit total audio spending to a finite and sane amount. Wait... better make that "sane" amount (<-- more figurative quote marks!). Call it sane-ish.

yeah, I didn't quite know what to make of those posts.
I think I reeled and scrinched and silently mouthed "what the... Have I missed something?" I don't know, Craig, I guess some people look down on your human trafficking and international arms dealing - Craig "The Jackal" Watkins.I disabled signatures. -
And this is the "Craig" I just bought a pre amp from???!!! Sketchy Craig??? I just contributed to a cause of nafarious deeds???!!!

Nope. In fact, it's none of your damn business.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Well this thread took a weird turn.

Well, I did actually go ahead and place an order for the UB5 with Elac yesterday (thank goodness I got it in before @codaaudiovideo reported me and my evil ways). My order went in about 3 minutes before they announced the shipment delay. Not an exaggeration.

You can't be serious.
I look forward to hearing what you guys think of the new Elac speakers. Craig, the delay gives you time to pick out some stands to go with your new cartel funded purchase.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

I have a slushie fund during the summer.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
