Summit-y Goodness !!

[TomDac]

Joey's Summits arrived safe and sound earlier this evening.. About 7PM actually. One of the boxes was gashed, but the speakers are un-damaged.

Didn't have too much time to mess with everything yet... plugged them in to make sure they're both working and then of course put on some Amy Grant to cleanse them of Joey-itis cooties that are all over them!! ha!

More to come in the following days..... as I get them dialed in and start putting them thru their paces.

Tom.

Thank goodness! I am relieved that they both arrived safely!

I want pictures!!

 

[amey01]

Yes we want pics!

Congratulations!

excellent to hear they made it safe and sound! Shipping speakers is always a scary ordeal. I'm with the general consensus....Let's see some pictures!

And I guess your system footnote now needs editing, Joey_V!

Holes in box...

Here's some shots of the holes in the box..

more photos..

here the Summits are on my deck right outside the room where they will live.

 

[TomDac]

Unpacked and in the room...

Inspected and all is well.. No damage.

 

[TomDac]

plugged in and working!

notice the time.... no chance to do any real listening or positioning, etc.

Wow, those boxes look so very close to a disaster. When I recieved my Vantages via FedEx ground freight they came on a pallet and not a single dent in the box. Great to see the speakers made it in good shape:musicnote:

They look like they where made for that room. It almost looks like you had the Summits in mind back when you decided to paint.

 

[JohnA]

Yeah, aesthetically they blend in perfectly

 

[Nik]

No kidding- Tom those look awesome in your set-up!!! Congrats!

 

[User211]

Not sure which I like best - the Summits or the Pass lab amp. The Pass lab gets my vote for best looking solid stater any day.:bowdown:

Congratulations! Tom, they look very nice in your set-up.:rocker:

 

[johnwa]

beautiful and looking forward to the comparitive review.

The clear aluminum Summits are a really nice match with your rack and equipment.

Don't bother trying to wash the Joey-itis cooties off of those beauties. You're already infected.

 

[tonyc]

Slick setup, Tom!

 

[Joey_V]

They're officially YOURS, Tom! Wow... they look like the room was redeco'd with them Summits in mind. The clear aluminum is a real nice touch and it certainly limits the monotony of the black panel.

I am glad they arrived safely and I am very very happy to see that what started 2 weeks ago has ended very well!

As for me, I guess I can never quit the hobby, but I can certainly downscale...

Enjoy the Summits my good friend, I look forward to more input from you and your ears.

Joey

Edit: Well, I guess it's time to edit my sig....

BOO-FREAKKIN-YAH!!! Yeah, I have a feeling you are going to be happy with these... Was it Cherian that just got the Summits to replace his Oddyseys?

Dang getting these Summits at the prices you guys are getting them is almost like getting them at Costco!!! Congrats to all... and yes - lets hear some comparitive reporting. I just have a feeling that the Pass is going to light up the Summits..... Show a pic of your final setup too Tom - I'd be interested in all of the tweaking, moving you will be doing to get them dialed in.... I'm guessing those are where your SL3s (that's what you had wasn't it?)....were positioned?
