    It's awesome that Curt has had these for 8 and a half months so far. Hopefully he can keep them for several years. That way no one else can demo them. That would be awesome.

    Anyone heard hide or hair from Curt? I've been trying to find him since the end of October. I know he said it's tough to get a pickup scheduled or something but its at the point he's affecting multiple individuals.

    I've left messages on his home phone and email, to no avail. I'd hate to call these stolen but it would have a huge impact on the other demos and upcoming LSiM as well.

    Who knows what he's up to. He's been on his my space account, and you tube channel, so It's not like he has no internet. Hopefully it's some sort of mistake and not theft, he has speakers from 2 different demos.

    Yeah, aside from some shipping labels issues and what not, which is our fault. Curt just woke up from a coma, from a really bad car accident about a week ago so cool your jets on the OWM's. His Mom is going to ship them out for you tomorrow or the next day.

    Messiah - Did you get the loudspeakers?

    Serendipity - I show them as delivered, you have since moved, so what do you want to do? I need your new information.

    Mole' is nowhere to be found and he has a couple products from the demo prgram. If anyone knows where he is or how to contact him, let me know via PM. The contact information he provided me is dead and not working.

    If this continues to be the way these free demos end up, I'm going to stop them all. This is not the first time it's happened and Club Polk will pay the price for a single individual the next time it happens.

    His last post was 11/4/10 so I hope he is well but this needs to be address since the package emails and shipping was prior to that date.

    Mole' if you're reading this, simply send me an email, easy...and we'll get this straight and narrow.

    If anyone has seen or heard where John(Mole') is, let me know. Ive not been able to get a hold of him at home, cell or by email. The phone numbers are dead. Thanks....and until then, the OWM5 demo has been locked up.

    I just sent an email. Please put me on the demo list, OWM5 or OWM3, but the 5's first if possible. I've recently purchased RTiA1's for Fronts and their matching center CSiA4. I'm looking for new surrounds.

    About how long do you think I may have to wait?

    No it's not too late but you're too new of a member to be signed up for the moment. I appreciate the interest but until you start posting and contributing....this offer is for active members only.

    Is everyone else ok? Have you received everything or are you waiting?

    Messiah has been in touch with me, so those demos will get moving soon.

    I'll have shipping labels and emails sent out on Friday guys.

    Messiah hasn't contacted me since 5/8....I've continued to touch base with him, we'll see what happens.

    Mufsoman, I know you've been adamant about getting this demo and your PM's and emails have not gone unheard. When I get it sorted out, you'll be the first new demo regardless of the rotation ok?

    ARe the OWM3's still flying around out there? I seen that my name is on the list:smile: I almost purchased them this weekend from Newegg but I am holding off untill I can test them. I am hoping they blend good with my FXI-3's for going from 5.1 to 7.1.

    jaymerkramer - I've been waiting for 7 months for the OWM3's to test (suppose to be 2 weeks per forum member). These and the OWM5's haven't moved. Last people to test I think have taken ownership so the demo's are done. I wouldn't wait, just buy, test and return if not satisfied.
