So I bought I pair of Rockports...

Thanks John. Can't wait to hear your system with its new addition! Next time I have an audio get together at my place, I'll send you an invitation. We do a music get together (accompanied with scotch and food) every month among us music lovers up here in the Round Rock area.

Lookin forward to it !

I certainly hope you're not stuck having to move and setup these by yourself. I'd be terrified if I had to move such a beautiful speaker.

Oh yeah. Piano movers. 700 lbs in the crates (each). My back hurts just typing this...

 

[jfrech]

Congrats on these beautiful ppeakers. I really like the color you picked, you Sir have great taste

I hope we get to see some pictures when the Speakers are all set up.

Thank you ! Will take a few pics. !

Thank you ! Will take a few pics. !

In a word: GORGEOUS! What a difference from all the unimaginative eyesores (even some really expensive ones) polluting the market
Enjoy!

Hi, they are now on a truck coming to my home. I suspect I'll have them on Fri. Then how to get 2 700lb crates up my stair case...this weekend. Will certainly post my thoughts (and a few pics) as they get set up, dailed in and broken in...

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone !!

...and???

They have arrived !!

Smokes!! They're big crates! Remember to bend at the knees... and get 6 professionals to help!

Ignoring the contents for a brief moment.... without question Rockport ships some of the nicest crates I've ever seen. The Aquila *crates* were precision built which boded well for the contents. I wasn't (and haven't been) disappointed.

I still have my Aquila crates. Dismantled and hidden around the house.

Did you get an X-ray of the boxes before signing the receipt? Congratulations John!

There are just too many silly double-entendre audio jokes one could think of...

Two crates are still more discreet than two huge cakes.

And I still can't get over the fact that John has 2 huge crates sitting in the garage with no vendor support.

Oh no...my dealer has been here every step of the way...unloading the crates yesterday, inspecting em, he just helped me get the Maxx 3 crates out today. We decided last min to switch piano movers (just felt safer) and a new company couldn't get here until Monday. So it was my call to delay from today to Monday...
