I did it. I know it is a risk because they are new to the speaker market. I sold off all of my LSi gear except for the 2 LSi 7's in the kitchen. I have my Sunfire TGP and Sunfire TGA 7 waiting for the new arrivals. I had been waiting all summer and finally ordered them last week. I am a few back on the waiting list.
They should ship next week.

    Congrats! Report back with a full review, and of course pics!

    These speakers had me interested at one point, but it never seemed that any reviews came out? Anyone have any links to some real reviews on these? Also, any word on the LTS(?) line, the flagship line that was suppose to be out mid 2007 but kept getting pushed back?

    Congrats Chris...yep get us a review.

    I'm guessing LTS won't come to the market until the MTS is a solid earner. The MTS did sell out of their first batch, but they decided to redo the xovers for the 2nd which is what Chris just ordered.

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)

    I was weighing between the MTS and Paradigm Studios, but being that the Paradigm is dealer only and are over priced IMO, I decided to go with the local boys (Ohio). I still love the LSi 7's for music, but I wanted to move on in HT.

    What I figured...160lbs for the towers, 80lbs for the books and if you got 2 centers (70lbs ?), plus the pallet...yep.

    Have fun with these guys...:D

    First impressions.....just the main towers hooked up. I went right for the jugular and put in Celine Deon's It's all coming back to me. I know ...I know...but her voice will make or break a set of speakers. And I must say....I am stunned! Right out of the box these speakers give me the chills. The first two words that come to mind are neutral and crisp. I will do a full review when I have everything where I want it.

    Speaker tease!

    Air Circ. That thing looks like a Predator weapon. Speaking of Predator, don't pay any attention to what's floating around you, turds don't affect the sound in any way. Pix please.

    Here is the link to the pics. I just got to unbox the rear center. Nothing is calibrated yet. These are just some quick shots. I wanted to do more but I needed to build a bigger light table and I just do not have the time. I love these speakers. They are not a lateral move from the LSi's. This is my first set of towers. In all fairness I am driving these with higher end electronics and more juice than I did my LSi 9's. My room is one of the worst acoustic scenarios that you could create (all brick) and they still have a nuetral quality to them. Placement does not seem to be an issue even in my room. I lack the terminology to go into too much depth. Like the SVS subs, thes things are rock solid. The cabinets are nothing fancy but I believe that SVS holds true to the philosophy that function follows form. I am an engineer by trade so I agree with the SVS philosophy. I took a big chance and waited all summer for these to come into production, and I paid a bit more than I would have for a comparitive Polk or Klipsch system. I am so glad I waited. I am afraid that I cannot say much more until I get them dialed in and worked out.

    Link to the pics..just a few quick snaps so that I do not get lynched.
