    Cute kids. I dare you to say something to your wife about them still being in their PJs at 4 in the afternoon. Go on, do it...it'll be hilarious.

    Haha
    I changed them and we all went to taekwondo, got the kids out of my wife’s hair for the afternoon so I’m sure she appreciates that. I have seen her go into the garage more times than normal.

    Maybe it’s to get stuff out of the freezer… or maybe it’s something else…

    Looks like they shorted you on the helpers, they could have fit at least a dozen more in that crate......
    Maybe they doubled up on the next one....fingers crossed😉

    In order to make room for putting somethingone else in the freezer. Have you seen the movie, "Bernie", with Jack Black??? You Texas guys probably know all about that story.

    Congrats Joey.

    Well at least they (your kids) like them.

    Maybe the wife is going in the garage and taking pictures of them to put on Facebook Marketplace.

    Eh, better to ask for forgiveness than permission. With the weight of those, I'll wait to congratulate you when they actually get to where they are going. The fat lady hasn't started singing yet.

    Methinks I’m gonna wrap the whole unit in

    That’s light because the m2’s whole unit is a carbon fiber tub

    The m3 is older tech so it is carbon wings with aluminum structure and while it has 1 bass driver more, it is 320lb

    I didn’t want to be dealing with something that heavy

    The m2 is newer tech to the m3, both still current gen models.

    M6 is same tech as m2.

    M9 better obviously.

    If you decide to trade these in for the 320 pound models, I approve that decision

    Just throwing that out there

    Now I can show my significant other this thread to take the heat off me buying Legend L600's....lol :p

    Nah, she knew I bought them, she never asked how much...lol. I didn't volunteer. She doesn't understand my audio hobby. A phone and a bluetooth speaker would be fine for her. But she tolerates it and does enjoy listening to the gear.

    Nice stuff Joey!

    He could probably care less about us right now because they are set up and he's listening....

    I mean, wouldn't you be?
