That's a lot of speakers! LOL. Good luck sorting that out.

"If only that were all of them." My wife, probably.

"If only that were all of them." My wife, probably.

I had that problem at one time. I moved to quality over quantity.

That's when she said to me that "I have a smartphone and know how to Google the model numbers." Decorum keeps me from quoting her after I came home with KEF Blade 2 Meta and she used Google to look up the list price. It took a LOT of careful pleading to assure her that a sold the previous speakers for a premium and the dealer gave me a killer discount.

Congrats on the new speakers!

I just ordered an Apple iPhone 16e.

My the battery in my old SE (Gen 2) now needs to be recharged twice a day, even when most of the time it's on standby with just Bluetooth & Wi-Fi enabled. The Lightning connector was getting loose and annoying too. One of the best features of the 16e is battery life. I got a little over 4 years out of the SE, so about par for the course I guess.

I went for 128 Gig version of the 16e, as to get anything fancier (like a 16 Pro, or Plus with more memory) drives the cost beyond what I consider outrageous already. My present Spigen wallet type case, which I really like won't fit it, so I'm shopping for a new case. I may go for a separate magnetic wallet on a "magnetic" spec'd case so I can use wireless charging as I already have an Apple MagSafe Charger (2M)

and 30 Watt USB C Power Adapter

Of course the iPhone doesn't come with those.

I'm looking forward to the new iPhone 16e.

It's been a really long time! I think I posted it on their website as part of a contest (on the long list of things I never win.)

No clue on the date.

Hey, since we're on the subject of what new thing have you bought, this is today's: A 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800. Many accessories on order that will take some weeks to come in, such as the "GT Pack" that is the panniers, the color-matched infills for them, the heated grips and hand guards. Also ordered the color-matched belly pan, the LED fog lights, the auxiliary power socket, and the center stand.

I have the same TV since last September. It is fantastic. TCL is working on new firmware, which is said to further improve PQ and the menu.
