    Thanks Troy!

    He had the 2nd gen, my wallet is no where close to extending that far, my wife would also kill me.

    These are the first Gen from 98

    Come again? You mean you are clearing out a closet or two for the new upgraded crossovers? Did I get that right?

    Keep the wife and kid. Work around them for the system. That's my advice. Take it or leave it bro'.

    You know Im totally kidding... the current crossovers are mounted in an enclosure on the back... I believe* there is enough room for upgrades to fit within this space

    Wow! They’re beauties! I would never be able to appreciate big full range speakers like that in my tiny listening room. Unless I sat on top of them. Not to sound ignorant, but are those Sonus Fabers?

    It's the speaker equivalent of ordering a super burrito instead of a regular burrito.

    Hehe

    Thanks guys.

    The aestehtic is similar to my mezzo... But on a.... Grander... Scale 😜

    I would say since my audio journey began, the grande utopia and the Wilson x2 was on a short list.

    Hard to turn down a good deal that's within reasonable driving distance 🚀🚀🚀

    With toll roads it's only like... 15 hours round trip? That's nothing. The farthest I've gone is 18 hours round trip

    I guess I shouldn't talk. A 22 hour round trip was my longest pick up. Sold the speakers 2 weeks later.

    DOH!

    Actually, come to think of it....I did the same 22 hour round trip drive for the speakers I currently have (even though it was supposed to be a 17 hour round trip ride). That's when I met Ty, toured his factory (new and old) and picked up the Lynbrooks. The "actual" drive was longer on that one due to traffic and construction along the way. I remember 'cause me bum was sore when I got back.

    Buy your wife a purse while you are up there!

    Thank you!

    Those foam enclosures you see laying on the floor is covering them for right now until I can get some covers made... But true that!
