Frankenstein was amazing Ivan, those JL subs brought the room to another level. A very big improvement over the JBL's. Thanks for the discs and your hospitality! Oh, dont be alarmed about the missing Ferrari in your garage, its in my driveway raised on some blocks running in reverse to remove the 200 miles I put on it. Will have it back by morning.

Very nice John -- Sorry, though, the light graphite to me looks awesome in the Elipsas. Now, for Strad's, since there is a color option difference between the two collections; the Red Violin would be the jam on the toast.

All is right with the world, I bought my Auditors back from a friend today.

In a word, maple.

I was actually really torn between the graphite and the maple. I bought the maple because my dealer mistakenly thought they were only available in the maple finish. I like it now but I still like the graphite.

KMC45....that maple is gorgeous

Not since the purchase of my MC501 mono amps. have I been anticipating a new piece of audio equipment this much. In just over 2 hours I should have a brand new pair of SF Elipsa's in my 2 channel room

We will be waiting for your initial thoughts, plus what you think after they are broken in.
