In Shower With M_Logans

They were delivered to me couple days ago. And very next day I received my new (used) DK Design....I missed two stop signs and passed a red light driving from work anticipating new to me hi-fidelity listening experience. I opened door..first thing I see my wife angree eyes. So before I can wire the speakers to amplifier I had to spent half of hour intruducing my wife into the beautiful world of antistatic panels and vacume tube technology. Once I've done with the speech I dedicated whole myself to cables and jumpers. 20 minutes later I am already pressing alumium botton on sexiest remote control I've ever hold in my hand. And.... I swear - my old $300 dollars TV sounded better! I am in panic. My wife is yelling. Kid is crying behind the door. And there is no undo button. Life immidiately turned black and white.
Next morning I get up 2 hours earlier than usually. Turned laptop on. Internet. Audiogon. Then martinlogans.com. Next I am naked in a shower with 0.0000000001 mm thin highly electronic membrane. Then boring 6 hours of drying session. I can't wait to see if there is any difference. Found old pack of cigarretes in garage. Smoked half of it. Finally membrane is dry. Back into the speaker. Amplifier ON. 5 seconds warm up. CD in. Pushed Play. Man! That is the difference! I am excited. Wife loves me again. Kid is loughing.

I'm with Krelldog... and you've got to stop smoking -- it's not good for the ML membranes or their potential resale value. It may stunt your kid's growth too and lead to other serious and possibly life-threatening conditions, but that's probably only a minor consideration as far as you're concerned.

BTW, is "loughing" a cross between laughing and coughing?

So exactly why doesn't ML ship with membranes already showered and dried?

I'm assuming they were used panels? The showering thing was actually recommended to me by ML under some odd circumstances, although they were careful to say "no soap" (soap kills charge on panels). Because of that charge on the panels, they collect dust. But, showering with them seems extreme--the manual suggests unplugging them for 24 hrs and then vacuuming them...
