Decided to beat the price hike and ordered a pair of black ash Summits today. The wait begins... Better change my nametag for the get together Tom DAC!
Thanks, Joey. As to the price hike I get my info from this site! The salesman did talk to somebody and confirmed an impending price hike on certain products, but did not give specifics. At any rate the folks at Tweeter were gracious as usual and happy to meet audiophiles.
Tony,
Only thing about Tweeter is they refuse to discount.... I had to go to another dealer who was happy to take 12% off the price just to get my business (this was back when I went for Vantages). Did you haggle, my friend?

My wife says for a shrink I have a marked inability to delay gratification. I prefer to think of it as audiophilia!
Joey, I did try to haggle unsuccessfully for a 10% discount on a beautiful store demo pair of natural cherry Summits but the salesman wouldn't bite. I ended up ordering the black pair, rationalizing that if they turn out to NOT be better than my current big rig reference speakers (Apogee Divas) I can use them as part of my video system for a killer 7.1 setup of Summit/Aeon/Logos/Scenario/Descent. The other ML's are black as well. I was told the Summits are back ordered and that it may take as long as a month to get them. The odd thing is I received a call last night from the salesman. He had spoken with his manager and they have decided to bring the demo pair to my house on Saturday (my birthday) and let me keep them until my black ones arrive, then come back out to my house and set up the new pair! I could have gone to the local high end emporium across town and got a small discount as well as a trade in on my Divas (which I am not sure I want to get rid of), but i would not have been able to use my trusty Tweeter credit card, which would have meant waiting until after the rumored price increase. My wife says for a shrink I have a marked inability to delay gratification. I prefer to think of it as audiophilia!
Joey,
I have had lots of luck haggling with my local tweeter,it must vary from location to location or perhaps manager to manager.
Sounds like a bad case of Joeyitis to me...

try adjusting the tilt (forward/back) of the summits to affect stage height.
