Done! New speakers on the way!

[Worf101]

I'm about sick of this... Everybody, (Kam, Florian, Wooch and now you) is gettin' new or at least "new to you" gear around here and I can't seem to scrape up enough dosh to get a new pair of earplugs I'm flat out sick of this (fill in da blank). I'm officially "whining" about having to spend money on my empty headed 13 year old instead of a more worthy cause.....

ME!!!!

Grumble, grumble... moan and wail...

Da Worfster...

PS.. I hope you and your Von Zepplin's will be very happy together...

Worf, I hate to be the one to give you the bad news but if you kid is 13 years old, the spending has only just begun. The most I can see in your future for a long time are a few occasional CD purchases. My prayers are with you. LOL Jeff

Geee thanks Grandpaw... with encouragement like that you'll find me with my haid in de oven!!! LOL.. I honestly don't know how folks with 2 and 3 kids make it these days. I may grumble (a bit) but I don't begrudge anyone anything they've WORKED for. I'm glad I at least get to "live a little" vicariously through my friends here...

Thanks for the "heads up" on the misery to come... sob...

Worf,

If it helps at all, my whole system has been packed up for months. Only the whimpy bedroom system remains running.

Hey deano,
I call it "paying attention to details" when I'm being a cheap bastard. Clearly, though, you've run into a good deal, so congrats! There is something so rewarding about playing the odds and winning not only a soon-to-be prized possession but at a close-out price at that.
Cheers to ya

That situation, in a word... sucks. I don't think I could live without "quality" sound for months. Pray tell why the self torture?

here's a tip for ya - your kid can get a couple more months out of those shoes with a little duct tape and those knuckleheaded kids think it's a fashion statement!

and, it's not all smooth sailin'. I still haven't told the wife. she happened to be out of town visiting her niece and niece's new baby when I placed my order (purely coincidental timing). she'll be back early afternoon today and I'm still workin' on my story.

Should be no problem for you being a Lawyer.

How about: They come from overseas and I got a really great exchange rate. And if by pure chance your better half discoveres the real cost be all agitated, because you can't trust what anybody says anymore.

This is purely for information purpose only!!!!!

Good Luck

can't wait to see the pics! i am a big fan of waiting for that "right time" to purchase speakers that are no longer made by the manufacturer because they sure do come at a HUGE discount from the original price.... patience has some serious rewards! (that, and ebay!)

and incase you havent talked to mrs. deano about it yet, to toss in another suggested explanation is... no explanation.

"what? those are the same speakers... you never noticed? (get offended) see... this is what happens when you don't pay attention to MY hobbies!"



then buy her flowers.

Everything worked out w/the wife. When Kam suggested flowers I realized it was time to act. The wife loves the right greeting card - not just any card. It can't be anything sappy. It has to be funny. I found the perfect "missed you" card and a box of Haviland thin mints (a favorite of hers), took them home and left them for her. She called me at work about an hour later. So, when I got home she was ready to hear my news. She was fine with it so long as she gets her Canon digital SLR camera for Christmas. Gotta go...I'm going to work a little early this morning and probably will every morning 'til Christmas.

As usual Worf, you're a fountain of graciousness and we're all fortunate to be swimming in it!

Actually, the only new gear I've added in the past three years has been that SACD player that I bought during Good Guys' liquidation sale last year. Otherwise, my only other new "addition" is about seven months from "delivery"! That's gonna ultimately cost me a lot more than just about any audio gear will (but ultimately prove more rewarding than any system upgrade too), and in the beginning at least I'll only hear the sounds of squawking, belching, and crying!

At least you're whining about a 13-year old, I'm not even on the clock yet! Looks like it will be 19 more years until I finish my home theater 2.0 ...

Dang Worf, now you got me in a grumbling mood!
