Thanks all.

Seb, that sounds like a very difficult week, and I can only imagine the uneasy feeling that went with the silence from the seller. Meanwhile, I received an email last night including 14 photos documenting the boxing-up process so I can unpack them properly at my end. Very sound Italian dude selling these speakers!

Are we talking about my next upgrade already??!!

My current speakers are Kharma CRM 3.2 FE, and if the Elipsas deliver as I hope the Kharmas will be making way for the newcomers. All being well I'll be listing them in the For Sale section soon, and that will be a big moment for me. When I got those Kharmas, I thought I'd probably have them forever...

Actually, the Quad ESLs may have to go now too, as I don't think I'll have the space for them. We'll see.

Claus, you'll have to come over for a listen then. You might need to bring a suitably powerful amp with you too!

That would be something if I could squeeze in as well :) It seems I have soft spot for Italian speakers... I could bring 200W@4ohm Primare if you would be interested.

I won't sell tickets, but we might need to take a number to get into my tiny man cave. Still, there'll be coffee and other systems in the waiting rooms.

Edit: and of course you can come along too Nige!!
