Dang,  rough crowd leaving it up to your imagination.

Two set of speakers on their way to me, no jubilees, Levinson Mono Blocks.

To make matters worse the Rat bastards at DB shenk, the heartless shipping company told me they wouldn't bring them out till next week.

So I hopped in my trusty Toyota pick up truck and headed to Richmond airport last night. There were two big crates and unfortunately I could only fit one crate in my truck.




Here is what was inside:

Lowther Alerion's with the DX-65 driver

See how nice they fit in?


The second box arrived from UPS and it has the drivers for my other set of speakers. These are the Lowther PM5a drivers:

I HAD to drink that beer so you could see the scale of the magnet

Little tiny 8 inch driver with a 10 lb magnet:


When I picked up my first crate the shipping company said they would probably deliver the other crate next Wed to Thurs. bastards, looks like I'll be hitting the airport again Monday.

Been saving a long time for these puppies, it's nice to see them finally start to straggle in.

Lowthers?

I heard they suck.

Kidding. I'm jealous. Those are an awesome set, especially the transmission lines!
