Whats on your turntable tonight?

To answer Jims question, NO!  The new speakers have not yet arrived.  The owner of Daedalus Audio (the brand of my speakers on order) is also the Director of the Pacific Audio Fest.  He called me two days ago, very apologetic, and admitted that taking on the position of Director was far more challenging than he had anticipated.  As a result, his speaker company being a very small business, it was "all hands on deck" and the speaker builds have really slowed down.  The good news, however, is that the final finish coat is applied and will be curing over the next week.  He told me that within a couple of days following the show they will be shipped out.  With shipping time that should get them to my house somewhere around August 10 - 12.  It is what it is, and I can't change that.  I guess it's easier to accept that the additional 2 months (beyond the original forecasted completion date) is small in comparison to the many years I will enjoy them.  

For now, I am fortunate to have some very respectable speakers in the system so I will continue to enjoy them, and all is good.  The Music Room (TMR) will be picking up my speakers and posting them on their website as a consignment sale once I give them the green light to do so.  That should make my life easier for the sale of large, crated speakers and even after their fees will yield about what I would have gotten by selling them on my own (TMR gets top dollar for goods on their site).

Now it's time for some yardwork and then turn on the hi-fi.
