I received an unexpected email today that my LRS will be here on Friday 6/3. I wasn't expecting them until Sept...a nice surprise for sure.

I'm excited & somewhat bummed though.

The wife & I are leaving Sat. for our trip to AZ (first time there for either of us) for our son's wedding! Super excited about the trip & the wedding!

The Maggies will just have to wait till we get back in a week. No biggie, the wedding trip is by far the only thing on my mind right now.

Will report back after getting them set up & listened to for a bit.

    Thanks for the well wishes...but

    I don't think trying to reschedule the wedding would go over too well! Lol!

    Have you already calculated the number of hours of speaker break in time you'd have if you started playing music through them from the time you leave until the time you return?

    We've been waiting for this day to come. Finally here.
    I don't think the wife would appreciate giving up her seat for the speaker's. Lol!

    Whereabouts do you live? If you are in SoCal, just redirect them to me and I will run them in my rig for a proper break in. Then when you get home, you can come and pick them up and listen to the L800's while you are here.

    Opposite coast in South Jersey right across the river from Philly.

    Thanks for the invite though!
    I would love to get my ears on the L800's.

    Our flight to AZ got cancelled till Sunday... lack of crew they said.

    Sooooo...I didn't waste any time & got the LRS set up in a jiffy.
    I was anticipating not playing with them until we get back next Sat.

    Stone cold right out the box they are certainly living up to their hype. I know I'll be playing around with placement till I get them dialed in to my likeing.

    So far so good 😊

    Enjoy brother! (While you can, at least for now)

    Bummer about the flight though.

    Too funny! I don't know what's worse...having them in the house & not getting them set up till next Sat or having listened to them for a day & now having to wait another week to get another listen.

    Oh well not much one can do. You have to deal with the cards your dealt.

    Thank heavens that the wedding isn't until Tues.

    Ya' gotta save it somewhere online, then copy and paste. Whether it's FB, Google photos, One Note or whatever....the program doesn't really matter. It just has to be online somewhere (even if it is in a private folder).

    Once it's online? Simply copy and paste. Keep in mind, if you move the photo or disrupt the link for whatever reason? The photo may disappear many years from now. This is why you see so many deleted or "missing" photos when you scroll through the older threads on the forum.

    I'm sure other computer guru's have other ways to do this but this is how I do it. ;)
