As a lot of people, the 40% discount card expiration surprised me. But I ultimately pulled the trigger. XMC-2 in da house. I replaced the UMC-1. I can tell you immediately (no audio set up yet) that bass across the front is MUCH more prevalent and forward. I'm crossed at 60Hz on the mains and center (as I was before) and it is noticeably higher output even at low volume. This should be an interesting ride!

Nice unit for the workout room. So far, very impressed. The "confusion" that many have stated with the menu structure is highly overstated. I have not opened the manual and have had no issues navigating it.

Pioneer DT-500 Audio TimerThis probably isn't too exciting for the majority of you but it will replace the existing Yamaha DT-2 audio timer, which has a green display, in my main system. The blue display and silver face will fit in nicely with the RSP-1/RPA-1. This picture is of the timer in my bedroom system. The unit I just purchased hasn't arrived yet but all the lettering is supposed to be in tact, unlike the one pictured. I use it mainly for the clock but the switched outlets are handy for the turntable. It gives me the ability to completely remove power from my TT when cleaning the stylus and other maintenance/adjustment procedures. Old post I know, but... Technics SH-4060 Audio Timer
Did somebody say timer?! I'm a big fan of old vintage audio timers. This one my oldest brother purchased at the PX when he was stationed in Germany, back in 1982. He also had an all black Sansui AT-20 audio timer which he ended up giving my other brother which eventually got zapped badly by lightning. And it was plugged into a Panamax conditioner too! Oh well. I don't use Technics for anything else other than to have a clock in the room and because I love the looks of it. And I have to say, it keeps excellent time, and it only displays the time in 24 hour mode.

I just got the Meta's in the same color scheme and I'm loving them. Curious if you auditioned yours against the Meta's? By specs the wireless II's should be a bit better. I ruled them out because I didn't want a bunch of wires hanging off a pair of "wireless" speakers.

I was able to audition the meta's before buying the wireless II but they did not have both. Thus far I am VERY pleased and I majorly simplified my overall listening setup.

How about a picture of your 2001 Lexus LS430 with the rims/tires? When they finally arrive and get installed... In the meantime, here's how it sits currently on those super sporty stock 16's. LOL Sitting on Fortune Auto fully adjustable coilovers. Also replaced all interior lighting with LED, in the process of replacing all exterior lighting (minus the low-beam HID's) with LED, including the yellow LED fog lights.

The LED lighting makes a huge difference interior & exterior, especially headlights and trunk. My 2020 Acura TLX came with LED lighting, but my last Acura, a 2011, I had to do what you’re doing now and it was worth the time/money. I’ve always liked the Lexus LS sedans so I’m sure the 19in Drag rims will have a dramatic look/effect. I also have 245/40/19 Michelin’s so the stance will look aggressive but still give you a comfortable ride. Look forward to the pictures to come!

I also have 245/40/19 Michelin’s so the stance will look aggressive but still give you a comfortable ride. Look forward to the pictures to come! Yes, getting the right kind of LED lighting really brings the car up to date. No funky colors or anything like that. Just pure white LED's. The amber LED's I have for the turn signals... Holy cow, they blind you! Super freaking bright! And they are CANBUS LED's, so built in resistors and no hyper blinking or throwing codes up on the dash. Will be getting the same LED's but in red (obviously) for the tail/brake lights. Also going to replace the really bright reverse LED's from Amazon with the same CANBUS amber and red LED's, because again, they are freaking crazy bright! I still have Rockford Punch amps (a 4-ch and a mono-block), Morel mid-bass drivers, Audison tweeters, Helix DSP and Dayton 8" Ultimax sub waiting to go in the car, though I'm now contemplating the idea of scratching the single 8" in the stock rear deck location and going with a pair of 15's in an infinite baffle setup. It'll be more money and work, but will take nearly zero trunk space as well and perform a lot better. Then the icing on the cake... Throwing on an M112 supercharger at about 5 psi to wake up the motor a little. The stock ECU has been manually tuned for a solid extra 30 hp/tq, raised rev limit to 6850 rpm, and no speed governor. Off the line, I beat my brother in his 2018 Alfa Giulia to about 30 mph, then he comes around and beats me to about 100 mph, then I come back and start walking past him around 120 mph or so. Slapping the M112 SC on here will clear out her lungs a bit more efficiently and most likely keep me ahead the entire time. LOL Before I got the mono amp... Before I got the coilovers installed...

Diggin the Giulia... a quadrifoglio is on my bucket list. Yeah, it's on my brother's bucket list as well. Maybe in a couple of years on the used market. If he does that, I won't have a chance with my LS430, supercharger or not. I'll have to step up my game and do what everyone else does... An LSx swap and a couple of snails.

Purchased this center channel from one of our fellow lounge members here. Hated to see him and Chuck delete their profiles. Anyhow, I got a chance to pair it up with my white Tekton enzo's for a movie last night. I must say that it was a blast! The audio was so clear yet forward, in your a$$! Loved it. They are so sensitive that Audyssey® had them turned down to - 12. I fixed that nonsense and whoa powerful.
