170's on the way! (finally)

[Zeno]

Man, I'm jealous. I ordered my set a little over two weeks ago, so it looks like I have a while to wait yet :(

[Derek]

I hear ya! On the bright side, when I talked to David the other day, it sounded to me like they got in enough parts to eliminate the backlog. Therefore I would think they should be on their way to soon!

Hang in there,
Derek

Good news I'm waiting, very impatiently, on my single to go with my 170 CC that I just replace with the 340..

[curtis]

Quinn...what are you going to do with the two 170's? I have an extra 170 waiting for work.

Curtis- I'm setting up a system in the girl's playroom so they grow up listening to real music.

It all came about when I put on some of my three year old's kiddie CDs in my system for her and realized that there was good music on them that I'd never heard when playing them on her $60 CD radio in her room.

[curtis]

Wow! Lucky girl! I think she would like one of those new Hsu STF subs too!

They are going to grow up knowing what good speakers sound like, so you are always going to have to have a good system. Smart!

Well, my pairs of 170's and 200's arrived yesterday. All I can say is WOW! The 170's are much bigger than I imagined! Even though I knew how big they were supposed to be, they seem much bigger in person.

I am glad that dave suggested I order 200's instead of 170's for surround speakers as they will be mounted on the wall.

Derek

P.S. I only got the 170's hooked up last night, but they sound GREAT!

[curtis]

Derek,

Please give is your impressions when you got everything integrated.

[Derek]

Will do!

[JohnnyCasaba]

Congrats Derek, look forward to your impressions.

[Quinn]

Got the e-mail today that it is on the way!

[Zeno]

Looks like mine were just delivered too...wish I wasn't still at work :)

I'll post my impressions next week sometime.

Oh the memories these posts are bringing back! I was continually pulling up the UPS website to check on the last location of my Ascends and Hsu. I remember fretting when it seemed that they had an extended layover at the Atlanta hub. I was waiting for that magic phrase : "out for delivery"!
