Just got a note from the wife that the Fed Ex guy just dropped off my speakers. I purchased the pair off of Ebay..

The Fed Ex guy just left them by the garage and my wife just put them inside the garage..she said they were too heavy for her to bring into the house...

It is about 20 degrees Fahrenheit here in MN....will they be ok until I get home in about 9 hours?

    I would let them warm up to room temp before you play them, just to be safe.
    5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect. DC-1/RB-1582 MKII/Sonos Connect also feed Polk 7C in garage or Dayton IO655 on patio.
    2.1 ch Basement Gym: Denon AVR-2807/Klipsch Forte I or NHT SB2/JBL SUB 550P x 2/Chromecast Audio.
    2.0 ch Living Room: Rotel RX-1052/Emotiva DC-1/Klipsch RF-7 III/Sony ES BDP/LG 65" LED.

    The proper procedure to warm these speakers up involves you, your wife, two blankets and nudity.....and of course the speakers.


    J/k :D

    Enjoy your new speakers!!

    yep...tri-lams...hope they don't go out..might be hard to replace

    Will post pics later tonight...just hoping the speakers weren't damaged in transit

    I also received the SVS pci 25-31 sub a few hours later....now I have to sit here and try to work...I think I'm feeling a little ill :D

    These are replacing 13 year old Infinity bookshelf speakers and a Velo CHT-8 sub

    Normal for Fedex and UPS. As a dealer, sometimes I have several $$$$ worth of merchandise just sitting in front of my house. Good thing I have nice neighbors and none of you guys know where I live :)
