New 0/93's
Speakers are about an hour out (BEK Hifi just called).
Here is a "before" picture.

And, after. That is Barry & Erik of BEK Hifi who delivered and set-up the 0/93's for me (thank you).
Very nice looking and sounding to start. Probably 2-weeks away from a full break-in.

And, here's a better pic of the speakers with their very nice fiddle-back mahogany finish. From my listening position.

Congrats Glenn! I’m digging the woodwork finish, must be even more gorgeous up front! Interesting positioning, I’ve seen many DeVore setups without any toe-ins.

Thank you. Erik & Barry said these are the nicest fronts of any 0/93's they've sold. I'm very pleased with the finish.
Have not made much effort in the way of set-up (toe-in, etc.) until fully broken-in (Devore recommends 200+ hours). I'm sitting fairly close (9'), so the slight toe-in has centered the sound stage for the moment. Will have to wait a bit to see where to go from here. Just listened to Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder. Details & dynamics are all ready excellent. Same with Vivaldi's violin concerto in D.

How are the O/93s sounding after some break-in time with the Mac tubes?
