Super excited - truly a deal too good to pass up. I've enjoyed the CR-1s for about 2.5 years now and can't wait to move up. Of course, I'll have to pay for them, then ship them, then store them, then build a room, and then enjoy them, but I'm confident it will be worth the process.

I blame it all on Buck. Listening to those big Avalons made me know that I had to go all the way.
Ha!.....now just wait one minute....don't anyone go blaming anything on me! We all have an addiction, it's unhealthy and we should all get treatment. . Now, that being said, Jim didn't yet explain just HOW I was sort of to blame.....I did kind of sort of just a little help "things" along...........

Buck kindly offered to store these in his basement until I get my room built!! Now, we just have to figure how to get these 400 pound beasts across 100 feet of grass to his basement door ....

Whether that works or not remains to be seen, but it was really just listening to his wonderful Avalons in a wonderful big room that pushed me over the edge. I know these speakers, I know their sound, I know this seller and the dealer from whom he bought the speakers, and I know the market for the speakers, and the price was right. There's just no way I equal that deal in the next year, so I went for it.

Thanks Buck!

If I had really thought this through, I wouldn’t have mentioned this to my wife.....then we could’ve made sure she was home when the shipper showed up with two more crates. The look on her face would be absolutely priceless thinking I bought another pair of speakers. would’ve been epic.

Anyway, I live only about an hour fifteen from Greenville/Greer, SC so it’s pretty convenient for everyone.....Jim lives in Decatur which is closer to midtown Atlanta. Works out!

A superb transaction with Jim! Thank you!!! I am very sorry to see these have to go however I also am extremely happy at their new destination and the great guy who will enjoy them in an excellent system!

Buck...I can only imagine that moment when 2 more similarly huge crates show up [emoji2]! We are all incorrigible after all LOL!
