p.s. Since I have been on this website I can't remember specific dealerships ever being mentioned. I don't even know if it is a rules violation to do so. So Ivan would have to comment. I'm not sure it's wise to advertise and this could be construed as such. Last edited by Charles; 11-01-2019 at 01:34 PM. |

I hope I don't have to eat humble pie. My financial adviser could tell me, "Charles you can do what you want with your money, but this is reckless, and I don't advise it." My dealer is aware. In that case, deal is off. I don't think this will be the case but just as I didn't know before the final measurements, I won't know before I get the ok. I have never been a reckless or irresponsible person. I can stop this process anytime before the check is passed. I think you can see just how complex this venture is. It has many moving parts and Apexorca is absolutely correct, unforeseeable things can arise to place the whole venture in jeopardy. |

I’m a bit confused.....you wrote a check to your dealer for a pair but would cancel the check on them if your financial advisor says no to the purchase?? Did I read this right?

My financial advisor has a standing statement that every penny spent on audio is mis-guided and ill-advised. For whatever reason, I do it anyway (note that he says the same thing about bikes, skiing, fishing, etc and I continue to do those things also).

Maybe time to get a new financial advisor. My wife’s family are undertakers and as far as they know they don’t make caskets with pockets in them. But anything is available on special order.

I am so happy that my adviser has given me the unconditional go ahead. I really thought he would. But you never know. That's why I said I purchased an xvx, because I thought I could easily afford it and I thought my measurements were conservative. Both turned out to be correct. The owner has to hear back from Wilson about his measurements of my room and the true height of the xvx built to my ears. That's the 1%, Apexorca take note.

I remember as a little boy looking in rapture at my dad's first hi-fi setting on our dinning room table: Warfdale bookshelf sand filled speakers, Allied tube Knight 20 watt per/ch integrated, Callero record player and Pickering cartridge. First record was South Pacific. The sound was amazing. I was hooked. Now my career in high end is over. It effectively ended at the grocery scanner in Walmart. I began with Warfdale bookshelf speakers and ended with a Wilson xvx in my mancave. What a story and what an ending! Last edited by Charles; 11-01-2019 at 11:28 PM. |

Charles - With all due respect, you’re telling us that you were not aware of this before someone had to tell you?

Congratulations on an incredible speaker purchase Charles, I’m sure you’ll be very happy.
By the way, since you now know you have more money than you can ever spend, could I please have a pair of Sonus Faber Aidas for Christmas?

Do you want the Aida 1 or 2. I know Ivan likes the 1's (first edition) better. Your choice. I'll try to get it to you before Christmas |
