My bad - I was tired, I didn't catch that! I tend to have to check my spelling, now I need to check my numbers. They are worth a lot more, than around $10 a pound.

Can't wait to get my hands on them - they are scheduled to show up on Monday. If nothing else comes up, I'll have 1 evening to listen to them before the movers come and get them!

Well I am sure that you know - if a lot of things are packed and you have a lot of bare spaces - then reflection city may take over. Maybe you can get a feel for them.

So, nothing will be packed until Tuesday and we should be good for an audition, albeit a very brief one. Reactions: zieglj01

It's going to be a long weekend. It took Shopatron 48 to prepare the order for shipping. They must have been real busy the last few days. I wasn't able to cancel the order Monday (even though I wasn't given a tracking number until Tuesday) or I would have ordered the 5.0 in Maple. Oh well. My fault for not acting quicker.

No, I do not While they are a lower level - they should be real nice >> based on what MB Quart can do - they look well built, and should give a lot of mid-level speakers today a fit - however, the Alexxa would be cheaper (close-out). Based on what I can pick up - there are no real complaints on the Alexxa series. Last edited: Mar 14, 2014

I will probably go with the Dayton Audio SSMB24 steel stands.

They are not using the same drivers from what I can tell on their website so I doubt they sound as good as the Vera's and being only $50 cheaper I don't know if I want to take the plunge on them. I did read the review by audioholics and they might be worth it but not sure. Thanks for chiming in with your thoughts.
