Like you Argon, I don't know if my looooong drawn out speaker decision was more straining on me or my wife. I know HER answer! ;\)

Well....I kept playing the North Carolina Powerball lottery - I just didn't get the cooperation that I was hoping for. In the end she just "showed me the hand" when I would think of another way to ask about "it". She would finally say "are the going to SOUND different???" I would tell her that the "guys" had assured me the sound was the same no matter what the finish was. Next retort would be "get a life" and the conversation would be over. She doesn't know it yet but the next upgrade(s) just popped up on my horizon - Blue Ray - followed by a better AVR........

Argon,
Good luck. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. "The guys assured me"... good luck with that. ;\)

Maybe consider telling her you ran across this HT forum of MIT alumni/ Mensa women, who highly recommended...(fill in the blank).

Then be ready with a gooood back up story like: "Wow honey, that website must have just been deleted since yesterday. That is very peculiar!" (be prepared to duck quickly)

You do the best you can with the $ you have. I would love to have ordered the HG cherry, particularly since is was on special, but it was above my budget.

My system still sounds great and looks just fine.

Enjoy the 4 week wait. ;\)

I promised myself that I was NOT going to post after I ordered....but it was like I was compelled to post right after I hung up the phone. Is there some kind of subliminal message as you are placing your order? Something like....you must be true to the forum. you MUST post - you MUST post - you MUST post......

What else are you going to do while you wait for your speakers? Wash the dishes and mow the lawn??

I do not think he has the joy of shoveling snow in North Carolina. But he could get out there and spruce up the yard. That will help with the WAF. ;\)
