    Finally after two months of waiting.

    My replacement speakers are finally here. They were pruchased from Hawaii and took really long to get here.

    They are not Diamond series but they should be OK. :E Actually, one of the tweeters is pushed in and I need to replace it, so I'm really glad they they are not diamonds.

    And they sound outstanding with the Brystons in the picture. I think that these are keepers. I also included a photo of them next to my N801's.

                  I was actually kidding about the Diamond Tweeters. ops:

                  The Signatures are pre-diamond only. I love them anyway, they sound great.

                          I was the second to make an offer and called when the ad had 14 views. The first guy flaked.

                          It was a nightmare getting them here. Two months worth although the first month was the real problem. Ultimately it was worth it but I don't want to go through that again. Way too many phone calls and time wasted.

                          Now I need to crate up the N801's and get them off to their new owner.

                          I need to order a new tweeter diaphragm before a write up. They are very similar to the N801's, and I have always thought that the N801's are outstanding.

                          I heard a lot of realy harsh bright speakers at CES this year. The Revel Saloons and Wilson WP8's (with about $100,000 of front end VTL) were the only ones that compared well. I was considering Eggleston Andra's and these popped up on Audiogon and I jumped at them. I always loved the look of the S800's. My wife actually likes these too.
