Well, I've discovered why my speakers aren't here yet. Had I ordered the "standard" M100s in either Cherry or black ash wrap, the speakers could have been shipped immediately, and I've have received them by now. Instead, I customized my order, so it had to go to the back of the line to be custom-built. The custom-build delay is 10 days, the shipping time probably an additional 10. So assuming that the extra holiday delays aren't excessive, they should be able to ship (maybe) before the end of this year, and by about the 10th of January, they should be here. Oh well...

My opinion is worth exactly what you're paying for it!
