See my earlier post about "Jane Goodall and the chimpanzees" for the meaning of "monkey poop."

just a quick post to say I did receive my cirrus black today, and in my opinion, hang with anything I heard at the SF audio show a few weeks back. wish I could compare them head to head in my room with the audio note (those were my favorite at the show).
Yes, I got to spend a little time at the CAS and the Audio Note room was my favorite, too.
Congrats on finally getting your Cirrus. What was the total time from placing your order to receiving them? How do they look, any problems?
It's a shame the cabinets for your Tempesta didn't work out, I was looking forward to your comparison
first, I don't want to get involved with all the bickering and drama. everyone knows it takes a long time to get these speakers and mine were no exception. are the speakers cosmetically flawless? no, they are not. do they look nice? yes, they do. do they sound good? yes, phenomenal (and I'm not one to praise something just because I spent my own money on it). there is a reason why everyone who hears these are blown away. they are legit. I'll post some pics later today here or at audiocircle.
the tempesta will be up and running at some point. I'm going back to the the PE cabinets, just thinking about how I want to finish them. I also got a bench top CNC to cut my own baffles, which will take some more time to get up and running. I agree that it will be very interesting having both in the same place with the same gear for easy A/B comparisons.
An update to my Vapor experience... I sold them off pretty quickly due to the very poor build quality. I tried convincing myself I could live with it but every time I looked at them it depressed me that I wasted $4k on such DIY level construction/finishing. They are nice sounding speakers, but with such bad build quality there are far better options out there. On top of that, the buying experience was terrible with all the delays and lies.
Vortrex, sorry to hear about your dealing with Vapor Audio. I didn't have a good experience either and it's a shame that posts are taken down when you want to share those experiences with others. I see that 6moons did post our experiences and I would love to share more of what I know and my experiences with Vapor Audio. In my case, which was 2.5 years ago, they had no problem shipping speakers with cosmetic issues and hiding the issues in photos they had sent me. They knew if I saw the side of the one speaker or the baffle on the other I may have wanted an explanation or resolution at the time.
I'm just hoping that potential customer can see both sides and then determine if that want to make that leap of faith. I was somewhat in the same boat as Csmgolf that posted on Audiocircle about his ongoing experience. I'm sure it will workout in the end for him because Vapor's reputation is seriously on the line.
I still have my Vapor Cirrus speakers and when they were working they sounded great but after only 2.5 years one of the crossovers has issues causing the tweeter to drop in db and distort. It has been narrowed down to a crossover issue after all test have bee done. The speaker works perfecty on the other corssover. It's nice that you can swap crossovers very easily due to the speakon connections and crossovers in the base of the stand. Very easy to get to the crossovers if you wanted to make some changes. The caps measure fine but under a load one of the parts is not cooperating.
