    Thanks....they are purdy...purdy indeed...

    They were wrapped in two boxes, a big box full of packing peanuts...with like 2-3" of clearance all around the internal box....

    the internal box consisted of even more packing peanuts and some type of medium size bubble wrap caccoon...

    The speakers were in a plastic bag with a sheet of cardboard over them...

    Excellent packing as always...

    I'm letting them warm up now....and just letting them play...probally wont do any extensive listening till I get better cables...

    Purdy indeed. Stole the words right out of my mouth. That's the best looking naked bookshelf I can recall seeing.

    Enjoy them Trey. Good to see you getting your wire on soon. In the next year or two, you should try a tube pre with that B&K amp and upgrade your source too.

    Could be, I'd say there is a greater chance than zero they aren't oder traps.

    Haha...

    These beemers are SUH-WEET...

    They have a very...neutral sound...

    easily 2nd best speaker I've had in my room thus far - even with limited listening.... :cool:

    And even then, it has SOME strengths over the BP10B... (maybe, I need a SPL meter to do some testing)

    So cool...

    I need my new speaker cables so I can switch between speakers faster/easier

    I had them for three years, I'll bet he keeps them for quite some time.

    They are 'THE' bookshelf speaker at the $300~ / pair pricepoint, by which all others should be judged.

    Chances of them leaving? Not likely...

    Chances of MORE bookshelfs coming in this room...very high...

    I'll be on the look out for some Mirage bookshelfs buddy...I tell you what...I gotta hear a pair!!

    I hate lawn care, rarely have done/do it aside from my own lawn...

    Money comes from other avenues, such as web-design/carpentry/bday/christmas...etc

    Yeah... I am closing my audio hobby up, even if it dosnt seem like it...

    I have multiple speakers I enjoy...an entire system I enjoy...my desire to hear more/experience more is lessening greatly...
