Not particularly, but I don't really know what they're *supposed* to look like.  Thanks for the link!I figured out why the low end seemed overly tight.  Nothing to do with break-in.  My REL subs aren't firing anymore.  Have to figure out what's up...

So, fellow Prestige line owners, did you polish yours right out of the box?  I noticed the manual said the packing material can dry the wood, but it doesn't express an opinion on whether you should go ahead and give them a polish.I know it's not g...

follow the unboxing instructions closely...I watched a video or 2 on youtube which helped beforehand and enjoy! Thanks for the tip, @pehare .  I did.  Unboxing and basic setup went like a breeze.These are lovely objects, indeed.  Very 1940s.  I...

Thanks, @daniel_rusk ! lack of initiative on distributor part That would be my guess, as well.  They just haven't been made available to the traditional outlets for review.

The eagle has landed!I haven't had time to unbox them.  Just get them off the pallet and rolled into my apartment.  But I can hear them in their boxes, already, asking about tea time.

I am looking forward to you thoughts on your Sterlings once you’ve had time to get acquainted with them. Was thinking of pairing with a Pass XA25. Yeah, I considered something from Pass, as well, but I'm not ready to move on from the Mac just ...

Trentmemphis, that response was not directed at you, should have been more clear. Or I could read more carefully.  My mistake.

Any update on your delivery date? No date, yet.  Looks like the truck left the dock this morning.  So, depending on how many stops he has and so forth, early next week, maybe?

Sugden has been building the A21 for like 40 something years! If you have doubts about the quality, then I’d advise you to read all the positive reviews on the A21 SE signature pure class A integrated. Better yet, seek one out to listen to. To m...

Congrats... Like @yakbob I have arden legacy in my main lounge 7m x 5.5m and its dreamy. I don't cross over in front but toe in so it crosses just behind me.... But depends on room (I used cardas method for perfect placement) also depending on f...

I was sitting here thinking, "I wish my thread was getting as much discussion as that Tekton Design Moab thread."Then I read a few pages of it.  I prefer silence. 
What do/did you do for a living?
Overeducated/underqualified software architect.At least, that's what I'm supposed to be.  I seem to spend most of my time just being the problem-solver of last resort. 
Magnepan 1.7i with Acurus 150 watt amp
I've never had Maggies, but I do own an A150, and I've considered getting some .7i's to pair with it.  I don't think it would have any trouble driving Maggies.  That amp's a workhorse.
