Default Santa came early

My SF Serafino's were delivered and set-up today. I chose the red finish. Out of the box they do everything better than my O3's. Mids and highs are more refined and detailed, bass goes lower with more detail and impact. Will say more after break-in. Pictures soon. Almost forgot the most important thing, Colleen's approval, she is very pleased with them.

Thanks for the kind words, we're very happy with them, keep pinching myself to make sure this is real.

Two great hobbies! Both the system and the train layout look great!

Some acoustic panels to raise the bar of the whole wonderful system at once would be my suggestion.

Wow, that's a good bit of room... your basement? The train pics remind me of when I used to have a train room (pre-divorce living in a house)..

Enjoy the toy cave!
