Pretty hectic -- need to leave in 25 minutes for Chicago/Doobie Brothers concert and not ready. This is short.
Thanks for Bill P. from calling and checking up and giving some pointers over the phone. Thanks Bill -- stay busy sir with your WASP training.
Neighbor came over at 12:30PM and had music at 3:00PM exactly. Crates are in attic, speakers placed in a good initial location -- more tweaking of course, but glad I have music.
How is it -- OMG -- the dynamics are in spades, my neighbor about wet his pants (he's never heard audio at this level). He heard my Raidhos and said after the first 15 seconds - damn Bob these speakers are indescribable -- so accurate and life like.
More later - have to go folks. My dealer left for overseas this afternoon and will be visiting sometime after his 3 week vacation.
Best to all & Dave Wilson & crew and to Bill P. Thank -you, I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd have a system at this level when I started out in 1966. Wow. I am thrilled to death. Wilson Audio has some damn fine speakers. Period.
Best all,
Bob
