I did it! Pulled the trigger on the minis.
AV123 made me an offer I couldn't pass up so I ordered the Strata Mini - Ultra Limited Piano Rosewood Finish. They should show up Friday. I am so psyched!
ARE THEY HERE YET? I can't breath!

Thanks John. I'm sure I'll love them. If not, they have a 30 return pollicy. You're welcome to come here them anytime. You never know. You might find who, I mean what, you're looking for here.

Thanks.
Already in the planning stages. I like the Halo A23 but have been looking at the Emotiva RPA-1 lately. Seems to be more bang for the buck.

Some "Mini", eh?
They look quite substantial to me! I only have the 'lil x-ls, but I have faith in this company for some reason. Aww... on the website, my blond x-ls is next to your Strata "Maxi"...lol.
But seriously, if sound within this company is proportionate with price, your speakers should be REALLY good.
Ya'll post impressions now, ya hear?
-
Congrats GM. Rosewood, eh? Very nice. I'm looking forward to your impressions on these. I'm betting with all the good press AV123 has gotten that we may have a new player in the "Giant Killer" department.
If I remember correctly you're not gonna have any problem with space so finding the correct positioning will just be a matter of time. I bet they sing for you.
Peace

GM, those look freakin' sweet! Congrats.

Holy whatchamadinky!!!

Those are pretty remarkable devices:
- Planar high and mid
- Four way, with four and two-way crossovers
- Self-powered, 350 watt bass
- and looks good!
:cornut: Pretty remarkable for the price. I'd love to hear them.
Send a review and pics ASAP.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear(read) that you like your x-ls's so much. Can't wait to hear how these sound. Nothing in this industry is proportionate with price, but hopefully they will be what I'm looking for.
I'll be posting pics and impressions ASAP.

Thanks, will do. I know I love the sound from the Maggies I heard. Hoping for the best.
bobsticks, Me2. Let them sing to me.
LJ, Tanx.
Now, back to Kex's party!
-
Wooohoooooooooo Yellow Freight just sent me tracking. T minus 3 days and counting.
I may not sleep until they get here.
-
sleep? what is that? whatever it is, you won't need it at Kex's party :)
btw, to tease you a little (and give you a next spree of upgradeitis), since you'll have the minis real soon, you're going to need a matching center and matching surrounds :ihih:

They don't make them yet.
But they are working on them. They will have the same drivers except the powered woofer.
They are in my sights. In the mean time, I have others on my short list.
First up: A db meter.
Second: A BFD
Third: An external amp
Fourth: The rest of those Mini's should be available.
Fifth: More external amps
Sixth: A sound proccessor
Seventh: The poor-house!
Please send money....

With all the congradulating going on, let me be the first to Playa Hate and tell you that you stink for having better speakers than me now. :incazzato:
j/k :D Those look really nice. How did you get your wife to agree to such a big step up? Or was it easy.

Well, once upon a time, back in December of 06. I showed these to the wife as an alternative to the Maggie 1.6's that I've wanted for a couple of years. She loved them. At the time AR123 was running a sale. The Mini's, plus an integrated tube amp and bookshelf speakers all for $2k. She said that I should buy them and put the tube amp and bookshelf's in the computer room for her. (wow!) I was about to order them when she decided that we needed a washer & drier instead. See my thread "forget the mini's". I've been bugging her ever sense. Add a nice bonus from work last spring and it was getting close. About a week ago, she asked me what I wanted for my birthday. Duh! The special finish has been on sale all this month. Friday I emailed AR123 to see what the freight would be. They offered free freight. D'm them!
Oh, and thanks for being jealous. That means a lot to me.

Clear your calendar completely for the weekend to do some serious listening! Start putting together a list of old favorite pieces of mucsic to hear all over again.

Now, If I could just get some sleep before they get here.

T minus 2 days and counting.
Did get some sleep last night though.

I may be half dead after I drag them up to the second floor.
They sent me the tracking number. Should show up Friday between 2 - 5 PM.

But isn't that the same thing you said when I bought my MKIII 15"? You know, just before you bought yours? Do I see mini's in your future?:lol: :thumbsup: :smilewinkgrin:
-
Congrats! After that party you put together, you deserve'em. Can't wait to see the pics.
-
Congrats GM. Speaking as someone who has seen what the Rosewood finish looks like on those AV123 speakers, I can safely say you are going to be shocked at just how good they look when they arrive (no pictures on the website can do them justice, IMO). Oh yeah, if their speakers sound as good as their subs then I think you will be happy in that area too.
Happy listening,
---Dave

No it was your "while supplies last" comment that made me pull the trigger on the Titanic early.
