oh, and heres how you aleviate the "there too big" syndrome.. just go buy an 8ft tall entertainment center, and they look tiny compared to it.. its all an optical illusion.

UPDATE:

Just got confirmation that my system will ship on Thursday, the 15th of July. I had the whole thing ship at once. The longest wait was to be the M60s (13 week wait at the time - note the 6 week wait for the cherry's now....). Interestingly, the 15th of July is EXACTLY 13 weeks - to the day - from when I ordered them.

I'm giddy beyond belief, and will make sure to document my experience for sharing...someone will have to catch me up to speed on how to post pics in the forum.

Do you guys find it odd that the delivery will take place exactly 13 weeks after I ordered, with a 13 week wait period? I see that the custom builds often come in early. Have any of you guys ever had your factory seconds come in early? Just curious.

well congrats man.. system is on the way..

have fun with the set-up, and definitely send some pics.. one of us will for sure let you know how to do it.. real easy

Oh Man! 13 weeks! OY! Each time I ordered from the Factory Outlet, my longest scheduled wait time was 6 weeks. Both times I waited EXACTLY 6 weeks for the speakers to arrive. I have heard stories of Factory Outlet speakers arriving before the scheduled wait time, but none of those stories were mine.

Yeah, it's been a long wait. But for good reason. My wife and I are movign into a new home at teh end of this month. The new speakers wouldn't really fit into the old (much smaller) apt. So, instead of waiting for them to arrive, if they had come right away, it would have been a test of real patience (and one I would probably not pass) to leave the boxes sitting in storage for months and months.

As it stands, the time waiting has given me the opportunity to more patiently research and decide on the other components and wait for good prices on each too. Can't wait to aset it all up and let em play.
