I suspect you will not be waiting 8-10 weeks. I ordered mine from an established dealer and they have just been shipped. Total time order to arrival 18 weeks. Assuming no further hitches.
Good luck to you though.
I gave a listen to the 3.6's the other day.The dealer said that he keeps a 1.6 on order constantly. When someone orders it, he orders another one. Of course, you have to be lucky enough to want "the most popular" type of wood and covering. So if your dealer does this, you might get them quicker than the full backorder period.
Of course, if you wanted another color, or someone had just ordered a pair the day before...
From the quick listen, I can see why so many people don't mind waiting, and at the same time, can't stand waiting.
hey,
looks like instant gradification is not in the cards, I called maggie's house(boy you not only join the family immediately), I have become an apostle of the 1.6's. the audio guy at Lyric said I might have a shot at an early delivery because I ordered white with oak.. If it becomes longer than 8-10 weeks I may bring my easy chair and Anne Murrary collection down to his store and play them on my curcuit city boom box, that should expidite matters. Wendell the techie at Maggie's may have mercy on me and deliver as promised. I need a lot of input on AMP,PRE,and tuner. I can't afford classe A, I have about $1,500. left in the kitty to spend after the 1.6's. I need advice, also additional input on burn-in time and the ever critical cables( God I remember we I was happy with zip cord ) all advice is greatly rec'd and appreciated.Hugh
