It's just the glare Bob. The seller sent me several pictures of the speakers. I should have them tomorrow. Great job on his part on getting them out to me (getting them 2 days after paying for them). The first thing I will do with the speakers is paint the black brackets a neutral color. Ok, I was totally blurred by the pictures! ...Sorry Stevie! * Then "Old English" wood moisturizer (lemon oil) will make them shine with great balance.

^^^^^ That is buffing compound in the slot port. Wasn't able to get it all out before I arrived to pick them up. Also, the gloss black is not inside the slot port. The painter said that if he tried to get it anymore it would have created a run. Glad I don't have a run. ^^^^^ For reference that is a 46" tv. The stools, and blankets are temporary till I get the towers. Should be January sometime. Finish is phenomenal, and they sound awesome!

I am getting a quote for a couple of the JTR captivators tomorrow. I'm thinking I will sell my second set of mal-x drivers and grab a couple of them. 2 captivators will equal 4 sealed mal-x's in terms of output. It would be nice to free up some room and get a boost in performance. With them, I should be able to get 10hz at over 135 db @ seating pos. DECENT! (as bubbles would say)

How are those rcs's? I'm going to be needing a few new ones and though I may try them out. Are they really a tight fit?

Got me one of these last on Tuesday... An Onkyo TX-NR808. Playing 96KHz/24bit tracks off of a flash drive is pretty cool. I'm also liking the Pandora radio pretty well.

Nice!!!! I've been eyeing one of them up to swap out the 607 I have in my living room. The ability to play off a flash drive is badass!!!

Nice!!!! I've been eyeing one of them up to swap out the 607 I have in my living room. The ability to play off a flash drive is badass!!! Thanks!!! Mine replaced an Onkyo TX-SR805 which is no slouch when it comes to A/V receivers. I'd still be using it if it had the network connectivity. Since I'm using an outboard amp to drive the mains I don't think I'll notice the slight drop in overall power output. At least I'm hoping I won't. Last night I downloaded from HDTracks the new Elton John / Leon Russell album in 96/24. It sounds really really good. It's cool that my TV displays the bit rate and encoding so I know that I actually got what I paid for. FYI... 96/24 FLAC files are HUGE Easilly twice the size of the cda files on a CD. One album of 15 songs ate almost 2GB.

One album of 15 songs ate almost 2GB. Out of curiosity, does Leon Russel's voice on the 1st track (If It Wasn't For Bad) sound like it is distorted? I have the regular CD and it sounds like the gain on the mic is too high. I listened to the sample FLAC segment on the HD Tracks site and it sounds the same way.

Yes. I thought that too. Actually My first thought was that his voice had gone to crap with age Like Elton's. On later tracks though I was surprised at how well Leon's voice had held up over the many many years that I've been listening to him sing. I can't say the same for Sir Elton though. He just doesn't have anywhere near the range that he used to.

He just doesn't have anywhere near the range that he used to. I was wondering if it was Leon's voice as well (he always did have quite the unique sound) but this just sounds like the mic was turned up too high. At least that helps to confirm it's not my ears or system. Kind of makes me wonder why they did a 96/24 release of this CD if his voice came out that way. As for Sir Elton, I hear he had some throat operation a few years ago that is at least partly responsible for the change in his voice. I miss the way he sounded on his earlier albums but at least he is still alike and kicking!
