Joe, you better jump on those. You need to join us cool kids in the MB Quart experience. (Plus, I'm broke.)

So when are you getting the rest of us 65% discount

My 2nd room HT has added to much gear and one of my team members has their own Electrical Business so I got this about 65% off list. Unlike the box advertises, I do not expect it to improve picture or sound, but I do expect it to protect my gear and look cool doing it

I even broker. Are those the same as yours? but tower? I would love to try those out, but things are not good.

They are the mid-level speakers - and the overall word has been nice/good.

That is a hell of a deal of those MB quarts. They would require a redesign of my living room audio though so I will just stay with my EMP's.
In other news new keyboard and mouse.
cherry mx red switches... they are going to take some getting used to.

This mouse is just perfect... no other word to describe it.
I dont even game that much any more but when you use gaming level hardware for so many years you just get used to that level of performance for all of your computing tasks.

Are you gonna get them? If rojo does not get them?

No, I am more than happy with the Vera higher-end bookshelves.

I did link the speakers and price to someone at AVS who was looking
at some JBL ES90 low-end speakers. They still have not responded.
This is a real good deal for some former expensive nice speakers.

However, I am thinking about buying the Micca.

Are the Veras your all time favorite bookshelf? or snells?

The Vera - they are a good step above the Snells

Copycat!
I got the same mouse and very similar keyboard not that long ago.

Ps mouse is great indeed. Did you already ran surface calibration?

 

[jcparks]

I haven't yet... I will have to try that out.

I checked out the keys layout on your new K70 keyb - looks nice. I might get it in MX Brown - I had high hopes for Red, but tbh - I prefer the clicky feel of blue, once I got used to it.
Unfortunately Blue is just too loud to office work I can type pretty fast

Dang they look nice in piano white and I don't usually like white, well except the Whaf H2's. I have no money but if these were white I'd have to get them.

I see they have them in Paino black too. Sigh. Blasted Z rent is due.

Called Meniscus yesterday and placed an order for the Testarossa kit by Jeff Bagby. When I called and spoke with Mark, he told me that he only had plans for a vented version and a PR version, whereas I was looking for the ML-TL. I'll be curious to which version I get. If the ML-TL version isn't there, I can always PM Jeff and I'm sure he would be willing to part with the plans for the ML-TL.

This is what they could look like finished

Well since I can't get those Alexxa's(Tear falls from my face) I kinda-sorta compensated and got these:
Used from Amazon UK:
2 Top 3D's according to blu-ray.com forum members:

and one of my favs. 2 CD set remastered with bonus cuts.

Bought myself a 3 month Hulu-Plus gift card

And some round felt pads on special - in case I buy the
Micca Speaker, if I like it I will treat the thin light box.
