They arrive Friday so I will load up pics but these speakers are over 10k and sell used for 6K. Hopefully it ends in fairytail fashion!

    If it ends well it would be a fairy tale ending. A fairy's tail is something else.

    ^^Good those look like Boxters, which btw were named after slang for lady parts.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    I ordered two ladyboys three years ago from Thailand and when I opened up the shipping crate I found the both of them dead? What had happened is I only ordered bread , water and kitty litter for just one instead of two. I would guess an epic lady boy brawl broke out and one of them appeared to be strangled by his own necklace with beads on it I found snapped and laying on the floor.

    You know, it's kind of hard to navigate pass a PFB thread where he brings up the topic of "Hey, I'm getting some gear delivered !".
    Yeah, it's almost impossible. The thread lures you in, captures you, and doesn't want to let you go.
    Kind of like the Sirens, luring sailors to their demise (was going to say "death" but I didn't want to offend anyone).

    I think Homer might have been a little psychic and foreseen these untowards events when he wrote, in The Odyssey:

    Oh cease thy course, and listen to our lay!
    Blest Cursed is the man ordain'd our voice to hear,
    The song instructs the soul, and charms harms the ear.
    Approach! thy soul shall into raptures rise Hades descend!
    Approach! and learn new wisdom stuff from the wise!

    Sure, I had to change a few words, but Homer was right ! In a way, sort of like Nostradamus. I'll check into that and see what he had to say about PFB's delivery woes and get back to you. :)

    Come to think of it, Eric Clapton had a little to say about this way back in '67 at the Whiskey A Go Go.

    This guy put a pair of summit inside a huge box with nothing at the bottom. The legs have just poked straight through the box and one of the legs at the front has just snapped and demolished the cabinet. It's the sellers fault and not the shipping company.
