Just now I realized that I haven't ordered the correct amount of speaker wire. LOL So my speakers are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and there will be not enough wire to them. OMG crazy

Welcome to the club. Every time I’ve bought speakers wire I’ve underestimated how much I would need. Even when I thought that I was over estimating just to be sure.

Looks like you'll be doing some "near-field" listening!

Cheers,

Yeah, that's quite typical. When I re-wired all my sound system, I had made the correct measurements for everything. But then I moved the pre/pro by 8 feet... and just went "bah! I so overcompensated for future proofing, no need to recalculate". Well, I was missing 3 inches for the subwoofer (25 feet cable) and 3 feet for my backroom (50 feet cables).

But thanks to an excruciatingly long back order on the device, I managed to get my new monoprice order in time!

I always order more than I need. There must be something wrong with me.

I guess that means there's REALLY something wrong with me, then!

Loc: It's all about the location.
I don't feel confrontational today, so I'll just agree with you Mark. wink
