Houston, my Rockets have landed!!!

[Soundman]

I just thought I would post a few comments about my order from AV123. I originally pre-ordered when they were out of stock. It's been a long wait, but I'm hoping it was worth it. By doing so I was able to get them at a considerable savings. If ordered today (even though I think they are still a great value) , they would cost about $1,000 more. Anyway, I ordered the RS850's, RSC200, and RS450's for surrounds. Don't ask about my review or pics just yet. They just got here and are still in the boxes. The boxes are taking up half of my living room!!!!! I hope they aren't going to be too big. My wife is already giving me some strange looks due to the sight of my living room right now. Anyway, I hope this all works out. I'll try to take some pics and do some sort of review after I get a chance to do some listening, but just felt like I needed to post something. I'm so excited and can't wait to go home and try them out!!!!!

Man it is speaker week here at audioholics. Good for you Post them when you can. We will be waiting.

One thing about the Rockets is that even if the wife thinks they are too big at least she can't deny their beauty.

Is this an IQ exam?

Question: Can a man's wife give him THE LOOK if he's not at home?

The answer is yes, and no matter where you are in the world, you feel it burning straight into your soul.

No pictures, a story that seems not to be true....I bet he bought a BOSE and is just pretending to have Rockets!

Women always have strange looks on their face when they see something large. (Maybe your unaware of this) LOL

I received my 850's and a RSC200 2 weeks ago. They replace my 450's which I am giving to my brother. He is also getting the extra RSC200. I bought the extra center to take advantage of the special pricing they had going on. I love the 850's and notice more of a difference in music then movies.I have the RSS300s as surround since I don't have room for towers

Unfortunately, I'm at work right now. When I get home, I'll get right on it!!

OK Greg, funny. Let me restate. I was home when they arrived. I had scheduled a delivery time and came home for the delivery. My wife was home as well and well...she was surprised anyway. Now I'm back here at work.

Good one, Greg. You are the funny man today. I will post some pics just for you once I get a chance to set everything up.

This is unfortunately soo true.

So your boss gave you permission to leave work just so see some guys move boxes to your living room while your wife could've done this since she was home?

Where do I apply?

but I have to agree... no pics... no speakers!

Wow! You guys really are giving me a hard time over this. I went home on my lunch to do it. The delivery guys were really nice. They brought all the packages into the house and put them where I wanted. Still, I wanted to be home when they arrived b/c the boxes are extremely heavy and didn't want my wife to have to deal with it, plus I had to sign like 5 forms saying they arrived in acceptable condition. Seeing as this was all me, I don't think the wife would have appreciated having to deal with it. Besides, I wanted to be there to see them, even if it was just looking at a bunch of boxes. It's given me something to daydream about all day at work.

Nice delivery guys who showed up on time at lunch.

NO WAY....

GREG! I scheduled the delivery time in advance. Then, the driver called me and reiterated the delivery time. Then, he called me back again to confirm he was on schedule, went over the directions on his GPS, and i confirmed it for him. Then he said he would be there in about 30 minutes. That was plenty of time for me to run home. So, I took my lunch. Then the delivery guys showed up right on time, came into the house and placed all the boxes as I directed them. Actually, it's probably the best service I've received from a delivery service. I know Fedex or UPS has never done that for me. I commend AV123 on how they choose to have their stuff delivered.

Naw man, you are pulling our legs...

Just giving you a hard time buddy. I know you will enjoy your new set-up!
