    A part of me does not want them to beat the 7u... but another part of me could really care less if they do or dont ;)

    All about the fun in it!

    My prediction -- you'll like them more than the 7U's. I have no basis for it, just a feeling. I think it's great that you're doing this and really look forward to your assessment of the new speakers.

    I'm razzin' ya'. If you want me to be there to help you set up, I'll be there. If you want to tweak the rig to suit the rooms acoustics and have a little bit of listening time to adjust? That's cool too. I'm just interested in getting my listen on. I'm sure you sense my willingness. Stay in touch bro'.

    I'll be honest. I think this new line looks horrible. I'd stay with the older models no matter how good these might sound (which can't be that much better) ;)

    Interesting speakers Sid, exotic looking. Kind of hard to tell, is that a real wood finish?
    Yes and no, it's veneer. Here's a shot of it in production.

    Hard to take pictures if they'll meet in TN. I always regret not taking my camera when I picked up my Linbrooks. :mad:

    LOL, let him at least break them in guys. I wouldn't make any judgments until they get some hours on them.

    They use great drivers, I like how the drivers are spaced out and offset, and I'm sure the crossovers are good...so I can't imagine them sounding bad. But, I don't know if I could get over their overall appearance.

    Trey, are these going in your bedroom?

    Yep -- definitely need to break these bad boys in...

    But the bass is thunderous, and I would gander the mids are a little clearer - maybe.
