The components alone (drivers and crossovers) would cost upwards of $1000.00 today. This was a component kit that Madisound offered about a year ago, for a design by Jed from Clearwave Speaker Design. They sold it for $676.00, which was a real bargain. Nevermind the MDF, wiring, acoustic stuffing/lining, binding posts, ports, gorgeous Fiddleback Makore vener and incredible labor involved. These gorgeously finished (catalyzed lacquer) beauties, with matching stands were mine for a mere $600.00. How could I pass that up? Big thanks to Nebby for educating me on the quality of the components and design!

I did not need another pair of speakers, but I simply could not pass up an incredible deal on a gorgeous pair of ScanSpeak/SB Acoustics in Fiddleback Makore, with included matching stands.

I think the Enclave is the best looking SUV/Crossover on the road. It's just dead sexy, but it is a bit lavishly priced, and it's kind of a who knows for build quality at this point. I didn't care for the Veracruz either, and it didn't seem any larger that the Sante Fe inside, well not much anyway. The Highlander definitely looks like a solid choice.

It seems to spec out very similar to my Sante Fe Limited (except warranty), but can't wait to see if my Infinity sound system can kick your JBLs ass.

Nice! What color?

Are there some posts missing, or am I just confused because I'm an idiot?

That does look cool!

Not at all, latex is cool with my peeps. I think I can pack light enough to leave room for it Miguel. Once a hotel has been picked I'll finalize my reservations. I'm thinking about arriving early Fri., and leaving late Mon.

In my circles that's just considered as foreplay Al. If this date can be confirmed I'll book my flight and Hotel.

I was thinking about sending it, but it's an XXL, and you'd be using it as a tent instead of a T-Shirt.

Arriving on the third and leaving the sixth would probably be best for me, but I really shouldn't be a factor on the date choice.

Dependant on final date choices, would there be any room for a beat up old woodworker? I promise to let Vicki wear the tiara. Air and hotel to Tampa is really cheap, and I've never seen Florida.

Congrat Mike! That really is quite an acheivement.

My initial post, which seems to have started all this, really wasn't a slam at you. If the guy had posted that my reviews were "the best available", he'd have gotten the same response from me. Why anyone would put so much stock into one person's opinion is beyond me. I read most of the reviews here (I don't even visit over there, except to look at the sale forum now and again), but I don't form an opinion based on any one review. Now a group of reviews from different members I trust will hold some weight with me, but still just makes me want to listen for myself. In all honesty HPA I don't think about you much at all. You're an odd guy that posts here from time to time, because you seem to like to varify that you indeed are bullied by the 'cool kids'. You really bring that on yourself, and on purpose I might add. Do a little self discovery, come to realize this is indeed an issue for you and move on. High school is over, and nobody really cares if you're in the cool click or not. I actually think you'd be a much more interesting guy if you could lose that chip on your shoulder. I do think you may indeed have something to bring to the conversation, if that were the case.

It's about time you found your way over here!

Oh fuck! I bought things without consulting him.

Hey Happy Birthday Marc!

Mmmm, pastries!

With a cool Jazz influence.

Indeed!

Don't tease us like that, when you know it's not true.

Congrat and good luck Brian! Congrat Stretch on not becoming a musthing elephant's bitch!

Happy Birthday!
