Cute kids. I dare you to say something to your wife about them still being in their PJs at 4 in the afternoon. Go on, do it...it'll be hilarious."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Haha
I changed them and we all went to taekwondo, got the kids out of my wife’s hair for the afternoon so I’m sure she appreciates that. I have seen her go into the garage more times than normal.
Maybe it’s to get stuff out of the freezer… or maybe it’s something else…

Looks like they shorted you on the helpers, they could have fit at least a dozen more in that crate......
Maybe they doubled up on the next one....fingers crossed😉 -
In order to make room for putting somethingone else in the freezer. Have you seen the movie, "Bernie", with Jack Black??? You Texas guys probably know all about that story.I have seen her go into the garage more times than normal.

Eh, better to ask for forgiveness than permission. With the weight of those, I'll wait to congratulate you when they actually get to where they are going. The fat lady hasn't started singing yet.

Methinks I’m gonna wrap the whole unit in165lb each. Wow.
That’s light because the m2’s whole unit is a carbon fiber tub
The m3 is older tech so it is carbon wings with aluminum structure and while it has 1 bass driver more, it is 320lb
I didn’t want to be dealing with something that heavy
The m2 is newer tech to the m3, both still current gen models.
M6 is same tech as m2.
M9 better obviously.

If you decide to trade these in for the 320 pound models, I approve that decision

Now I can show my significant other this thread to take the heat off me buying Legend L600's....lol
Nah, she knew I bought them, she never asked how much...lol. I didn't volunteer. She doesn't understand my audio hobby. A phone and a bluetooth speaker would be fine for her. But she tolerates it and does enjoy listening to the gear.
Nice stuff Joey!
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -

He could probably care less about us right now because they are set up and he's listening....
I mean, wouldn't you be?

Why is it that whenever audiophiles gather, we end up listening to the old system rather than uncrate the new m2???
Happened again last night. Instead we spent 3 hours listening on my old system as they wanted to see the vpi avenger in action and the ref 10s.
