I guess you can just wait it out then. Congrats on the Strad's I think you will love them with tubes. OBTW, did you ever figure out what was wrong with the RM-10?

Thank you Jack. I haven't officially cancelled the 40.1's. Whenever they show up is good for me. I have not wanted to deal with the RM-10 but I will dig into it before the weekend and let Ben/Rodger know what I find out.

Thank you Steve. Nothing else excites me like the Strads. Maybe something like the Cary 805AE on them will be fun too. What do you think about that? 50 wpc SET. Yeah baby!

If you can stand the heat, I don't think much of anything in the "tube realm" will be better than the ART's on the Strad's. The RM-10 would be an interesting experiment and maybe Roger would know if they would work. They did fine with the 85db Vandies, but I did have the subs in play too. Never tried them on their own. The RM-10 was great with the three Reynaud's, Soliloquy and GMA. I suspect Mike's upgraded JOB would sound great too.
 
I am waiting for the Job monos to come out and KNOW that the CJ will be perfect. I just like a little variety :) and am thinking out loud. Life is good. I can't wait.
 
Congrats on a great pair of speakers Joe! Hopefully you won't have to watch the sumo wrestler from behind when he positions them in your room. :blush:
 
Congrats on the Strads Joe ! Surely a very nice sounding speaker.
Several months ahead for the 40.1 ?? There must be a problem with the US importer.
Do you want me to check for a used pair in Europe ? They show up from time to time, between 5.5 and 7.5k euros....

Hi Jerome,

Thank you so much. I have a feeling they may show up around the same time.

I heard it was a manufacturing problem but who really knows.

Quality takes time. :)

Speakers are one thing (or two things) I don't like buying used. I am still working out all the details but they will be new. All the details should be worked out in a few weeks.

Jerome W said:
Joe, did you order the Strads new or is it a used pair ? When will you get them ?

Joe, just for you. I hope they are all & more of what you are chasing in the world of gossamer ;)


 
Thanks Kev,

I hope and think they will be.

Steve,

Lilium might be too rich for my blood but I would LOVE to hear them.

congrats on your upcoming strads, but don't the new lilium slot lower down than the strads?

I think they are a step up than the Strads but I don't care ;)

There's always next year :)

Congrats, Joe. will be curious if you prefer the CJs or Macs on them...

Thanks Keith,

First time I heard the Strads was with the C500T and MC2301's. It was GLORIOUS. I hope/think the GAT/ART monos will be the better combo. I will do whatever it takes to get the goosebumps back.

I also have a Hegel H30 coming for a different solid state feel. I am really curious about that one.

Without the Mr Serblin. Nah.....I wouldn't think it's the same SF speakers. Not with my experience :)


I really hope you get the goosebumps. If it's not ? now you are in trouble.:)
Last month I went to this Macedonian restaurants(in 20 yrs ) coz I missed her food so much so I went back there and owner & store are still same BUT the food it wasn't same taste as I remember....Hope this is not the case for you.
 
Paul,

I'll be fine! They will certainly be better to my taste than the TADs were.
