I received my shipping email for my set of Algonquins yesterday... Hopefully they will be arriving this weekend...but we shall see... DHL and all...At least they are in the 'States... As they are plastic, I hope they arrive in one piece especially after the horror stories from the other thread about shipping companies... Looking forward to hearing how they sound though...I have M60's and M22's but nothing from the M50 / M3 line... Will someone please hand me the Windex and paper towels to get these nose prints off the front windows?     Counting the minutes... WhatFurrer

At least you know that if DHL leaves the boxes out in the rain or drops them in a lake on the way to your door, they will still work flawlessly after you dump the water out of them.

Driving on the freeway on the way home from work today, I had my window down and heard a horrible clanking/screeching sound coming from the next lane. It was a DHL van with its front bumber hanging by a thread, bouncing and dragging on the ground. Dude shot past me probably doing 90 mph. Very nice!
Just adding to the horror stories, WhatFurrer. I hope your speakers arrive in one piece.

Did he have a pair of new Axiom speakers with the name whatfurrer on the side up on the dash in the hot sun right next to his burning cigarette and ever spilling coffee mug?

Thanks alot Sean...  That makes me feel soooooooo much better! Just noticed your location: Chino, California, huh? My Dad's parents used to live in Pomona and if memory serves me correctly, we had a relative that lived in Chino. Also had a relative that had a beach house in Malibu but never got to see the house and don't really remember the relative. But that was a long time ago...A lot has changed since the 70's, I'm sure. Regards, WhatFurrer

LOL! Yeah, didn't want to mention that part and really dash Steve's hopes.
And, Steve, I was born in Pomona. It's not quite the vacation destination it used to be back in the day. There are some palm trees left, though. Chino smells better--if you like cows, that is.

Lol, I was raised in Covina and lived there from about 1960-1980, even back then unless I was going to the fair or to visit my Mom who worked at Cal Poly I stayed clear of Pomona.  But then again my grandparents lived in Baldwin Park from the mid 50's thru the early 80's and I felt safe there, and that city would rank right along Pomona in lost vacation destinations.

Very true, Michael. I used to play softball in Baldwin Park as part of a league at work. As for Pomona, I worked there for a number of years. On slow days we'd count the hookers that'd walk past the store. Ah, those were the days!
