Howdy,
I've been slowly creating a small theater room since the pandemic and finally got some speakers for it. I made an account just to post this here because I've browsed countless threads here and on many other forums for advice, recommendations, and general information to make my decision and I wanted to give back to the community with some speaker pron.
I didn't get every photo I wanted while unboxing because I was just so excited to rip them out of there and listen to them!
You are looking at Salk Veracity ST in Curly Maple with dark walnut/orange dye, burst edges, gloss lacquer, front port, and upgraded Cardas Biwire binding posts.
Ordered 4/4/2020 and received 2/11/2021. Mind you I placed my order in the thick of lockdown and Salk was still shutdown; I believe wait times are usually shorter than this but I didn't mind since greatness takes time

I am not the greatest photo taker, but these things are truly stunning in person. I am going to install some better lighting so these guys look great all the time. Thankfully the speakers sound amazing too! I am impressed with the horizontal dispersion since this room isn't very large. I don't have a sub, but the kick from these things is actually impressive considering it's just a couple 6" drivers per channel. I am listening to all my albums again because everything just got way more fun!
It's hard to choose just one speaker because there are so many amazing options out there and budgets are always a constraint. I'm now shopping for room treatments since the room is mostly bare bones. I'm looking at plush velvety drapes for the window and acoustic panels for some of the walls.
I'm using my PC as the source feeding a Marantz AV8805 into Audio-GD Master 2H monoblocks.
