    I love the new cabinets and the black finish especially. I bet it would look amazing as a floorstander.

    That cumulative spectral decay measurement is really clean. If you look at measurements taken of most other speakers (even speakers costing several thousands of dollars), you can see they have a lot more resonance.

    Dust? If you just leave it alone, it gets a nice even coating which looks just fine...

    If you wait long enough between dusting, it may match the finish of the se series! BONUS

    Actually, they are at an angle now...the picture is old. They are now about a 25 degree angle towards the listening position.

    I notice that the spectral decay graph goes all the way down to -38dB.

    On the graphs that Stereophile publishes, they only go down to -24dB. Does this mean that if you were to graph these measurements on the same scale, that they would look even better?

    Thumbs up

    Vertical Bamboo huh?

    Curtis, does this sound familiar?
    LMAO!!

    I can say without a doubt, how awesome Bamboo is, and it is WITHOUT QUESTION, a very difficult substrate to cut and keep from fraying.
    Are they heating the bit to keep it from fraying?

    I know this, because I used Carbonized Vertical Bamboo to do my dining room floor(and steps to Foyer and LR), and have had discussion about using the excess I have on hand(with Curtis), to cover a Ryhtmic sub I am contemplating.

    These things will be VERY well received(as long as the folks have the dough), the beauty of bamboo is just incredible, and it is VERY strong.

    WTG Dave!!
