They remind me of the Monitor 7's. I wanted to demo them at the CAF, but someone was asking the dealer stupid questions and wouldn't shut up, so I left.Political Correctness'.........defined

It's always irritating when they don't take the conversation out into the hall when you're trying to listen at a show.

Yeah those look fantastic.Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

So I just place the order. They will be here around the 26th to the 30th.
I now have a dedicated room for audio (family member move out) that I need to setup, clean, paint, get some area carpet (wood floors).
I was able to get them because in another post I made I won a Sony TV at the company Christmas party and they offer me the TV or a gift card, I went for the gift card already have a nice TV.
I took the chance even with out listen to them. If I don't like them I can still resale for a good price.

Don't browse for speakers after a few IPA's

I think they do the same as the 85th. -
Got you. And the 85th tweeter is different than the 80th or same with the wire mesh cover?afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Super pretty speakers BTW. Pair these with Yamaha AS-2100 and just from an aesthetic point of view that's top shelf IMO.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

All are 1", but the 80th is described as a soft dome while the 85th and Linton are described as textile dome.Political Correctness'.........defined

I thought it was very insightful -

Paper vs cloth?See my profile for list of gear. -
I agree.
I think they are the biggest bargain in audio right now. When I read the stands are included for a total under 1,500.00, my "want light" lit up in my brain.
But I have a set of RSL's that are like them that I haven't listened to hardly at all. Also have a few Infinity's I need to get out and play them too.
Now, I've seen some ads where both speakers are identical. In other ads, they are a mirror imaged pair. I'm pretty sure all the pairs sold will be M.I. prs..Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I don't know, possibly simple word play and the tweeters are the same.Political Correctness'.........defined

So since the arrival date change I had to start preparing the new room. Is about 12X11 with a small window. I think it will be okay. Cleaning and painting tonight. Will upgrade power outlets in the morning. Need to run a CAT6 line.
Then will add area carpet, picture frames. There will be only one chair in the room. And there is closet space for the hardware if I want to go that route.
Cheers

I'm thinking I've read somewhere that the difference between soft dome and textile dome is largely wording, that they fall in the same basic category.

That seems to make sense. Marketing mumbo jumbo.I'm thinking I've read somewhere that the difference between soft dome and textile dome is largely wording, that they fall in the same basic category.

Well now is schedule for the 24th.

If it's UPS, look for them to be delivered on Friday or whenever they get around to it. Gotta be quick with them this time of year though. My driver rings the bell then runs away.

So they finally arrive, Still setting up the new room. This things are beautiful and well pack. The bases come already assemble and they feel heavier than the speakers. Some listening coming later tonight. Cooking for the kids at the moment.
Cheers
