It'll take you all of five seconds to decide.

As Brian, aka klipschfan says, I'm in launch mode. Note to self, get rid of non-essential gear.

Does this mean you'll be selling the ET-5?

I'm enthusiastic but a bit more measured, agreeing with Neil's comment "..and am just getting a grip on its overall character (it does have one BTW)."

Your thoughts are welcome...
Ivan, the woofer covers are very decent. Excellent build.
In Brussels, they demoed with and without, and I heard no difference at all.
It was clearly my 'Best of Show', now your 'Best of Show'...
They started a Blitzkrieg I think...

These are special. And, so are the stand mounted TADs.

So, Ivan, are you going for it?
