In Reply to: RE: Andy - I hope I'll be able to listen to some performances today posted by Chris from Lafayette on September 11, 2021 at 09:31:13
. . . somewhere between Lafayette and Turlock (about 100 miles away).
Follow Ups:
Still no replacement speakers for the computer room yet. :-(
And when I track my delivery at FedEx, it just says "pending" - which is the same thing it's been saying since Saturday.
I had something coming via FedEx a couple of weeks ago. It sat in Sacramento for 3 days past my "delivery date", with the comment "may be delayed" and the expected delivery date 3 days in the past. It wasn't something I was in a hurry to get, but it was ridiculous. I'm having better luck with USPS!
Hope your speakers arrive soon.
In this era of buying equipment sight unseen (and sound unheard), the Dali Oberon 1's arrived earlier this evening. They weigh more than I expected for their size. I hooked them up and they sound fine (although, as expected, there's really nothing below 50 Hz - maybe I should get a small subwoofer at some point!). "Designed and engineered in Denmark" proclaims the information on the box - but on the back of each speaker, in much tinier letters, it reads "manufactured in the PRC". LOL!
Finals next. A few disappointing choices like Thomas Kelly and the guy from Kazakhstan, who I feel are both basically not very interesting. More crowd pleasers. It doesn't pay to be too original in these competitions. You need to be media friendly and probably fairly extravert and demonstrative. Like "professional" even if that means a bit boring. The other three are more interesting possibles. Maybe my vote goes to the guy from Ukraine, but the Japanese guy was good too and slightly ahead of Ariel Laniy who is OK too.
