Well, it could be that, subconciously, I'm hoping for or expecting a positive outcome, but I like to think, after close to 30 years in the hobby, I'm generally cognizant of most my biases. Believe me, I'm perfectly ready to send these back and get my money returned if they don't work as advertised. That cash could buy a whole lotta music! But I'd be lying if I said they did nothing I liked.
At any rate, I'll give 'em some time and see if or how my opinion changes from what it is now. Maybe it won't.

One valid school of thought is that no matter how you arrive at an opinion, biased or not, if it's positive, you should go with it. I find that, when I do that with respect to my audio system, after a while, maybe a great while, the bloom goes off the rose. Only then do I realize that I was a victim of my own expectations. Or not.
After having something in my system for a while--often months, sometimes years--I pull it out and listen to the rig without it. Using that method, I've managed to dispense with some things I took for granted as being essential--and, on the other hand, confirmed the value of some others. I'll do that with these Waveguides, or as much as possible within the audition period. We'll see what happens.
BTW, I saw the original The Taking of Pelham 123 the other day, for the first time in a long time. Man, Robert Shaw was menacing in that role. Then again, he conveyed menace in more than a few roles.

Great movie. Was thinking about it too in light of our exchange about Robert Shaw.
