Paging Mike A.

[Florian]

Hey Mike, are the 1.6's there yet?

[Mike Anderson]

No!

I ordered the things on Dec. 27. I called the store today to see if they had arrived yet.

The response? According to the salesman, Magnepan said they were going to build them next week. So they won't ship until next Wednesday at the earliest, and they'll take another week in shipping....

Is that ridiculous, or what? I can't believe Magnepan doesn't already have 1.6's in stock, or if they didn't, that they waited three weeks to even start building them...

I smell a bacon, those things are laying around at Magnepan and the dealers should easily have them in stock. I would return from the deal and call around to see who has a pair in stock and buy those.

I was thinking the exact same thing, and am planning to do so this morning.

My guess is that the store received shipment on the speakers, and sold them to someone else who wasn't willing to wait for them.

[Florian]

Yeah, just buy them somewhere else. There are tons of 1.6's around.

Actually, Magnepan only lists two dealers in the SF Bay Area, amazingly.

I called the other dealer, and they also said they'd have to special order them, and that it would be 1-2 weeks to get them.
