    Remember how Andy Warhol said that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes?

    This Hawk was thumping the ground with its right talons. Nothing was snagged though.
    We have moles again. Maybe they see the ground move.

    Little road trip this morning. ;)B)

    Pioneer SC75 receiver and these HEAVY as lead gems. B&W CM10's.

    They're 9.5.

    I'm too %$#@* old to be lifting 73 lb. speakers now. Especially since I lost 25lb a year ago due to COVID-19 (?) they said. I was huffing and puffing and praying I didn't throw my back out or rip some hernia repairs from years ago loading them and then unloading them. It was my maximum dead-lifting weight now. Then I had to walk with them 30 ft. 73lbsx4x30 ft. is rough now. :# Steps to step up or down too. Just 2 each way.

    I hooked them up and yeah, the reviews about these are true. The sound is SPACIOUS and awesome.

    I've worked hard lately! My brain needs rest along with my body too.

    This cheap Keypad is also a constant f-u. Some letters don't type out and sometimes the letters repeat.

    Tony, all these years of hoarding....accumulating stuff, you haven't gotten hold of a simple 2-wheel hand truck (aka dolly) to roll speakers in and out of the shed? Shoot, that's one thing I will never lend out for fear of not getting it back.

    I have had a dolly for 35 years. I got a second one from a co-worker 20 years ago. I still have them both.
    I was concerned either of my 2 dollies would scratch the finish in some weird way ( no matter how I wrapped them, so I thought, I carried 80 lb Triton Ones with good control in 2015, so why not try these? I've been working hard and building my strength back for a year now.

    I knew these speakers were piano-finish and they had a huge base plate attached at the sellers' house. My wife pushed me to take her rolling cart with an upright handle with me this morning.

    There was one step that was short but the second was high. I thought "no" on the cart because of the second step. I just carried them out, put them on the ground, and then laid them over on thick knee pads to take the bases off.

    I had fairly good rest breaks between carrying each speaker and the receiver. ;)

    I now know in the future, I will not repeat what I did today. My legs are 1/2 what they were a year ago. I feel my back will probably fail if stressed hard in the future after today's test.

    They sound wonderful, the detail is top notch.

    I got a great surprise yesterday regarding my Infinity Prelude MTS speakers.
    I may have found a person that can repair the 850w B.A.S.H. Amps in the MTS’s subwoofers.

    Those B&W’s sound like they have the detail of the Prelude MTS. I do miss that type of brighter sound/detail, especially in the better recordings and higher-rez formats.
    It’s the reason I removed the poly switches, in my SDA SRS’, and just used a jumper.
    Tried different resistor values but preferred the sound with a jumper.

    Well, it won’t hurt a green damnit trying as they’re not able to be used the way they are.
    I’m sure glad I didn’t throw them out like I was tempted to do, I just couldn’t bare to make that commitment.

    Does placing a receiver on its side improve the sound?

    No, it shifts the sound to the right side.
