I better get some sleep before I buy a pair of Silver 7t's. You know it's bad when I check Nelion to make sure they can be restored.

Welcome to the club, my friend!

 

Just beware, in difference to our Tektron loving friend, the WAF on those is about as far into the negative scale as you can het without going to >$50k worth of horns!  That said, the Polks likely don't score high, either.

 

Buy both, let SWMBO decide, and sell the others!  That way it was her choice, and you have a bit of a safety net!   Maybe...  😆

I didn't believe you guys that there is such a thing as negative WAF, until I pretended I was buying these. 

Oh it's real alright.

Your strategy, then, to get the Amazings, or other non-WAF friendly speakers..., 

 

First, threaten to get those in your picture, then show her the alternative..., ask her to make the choice.

 

Bingo, you have Carver Amazings or Polk SRS in your living room !  Bam!  😉 LoL

 

Oh, the tricks us enablers know..., we can help you !

Brilliant!!!!

She liked the SDA 2s but I passed on them as the seller didn't have the SDA cable and they seem to be a pain with common ground, sda cable, thermal runaway and finiky room placement. I'm pretty set on a pair of M1.0T mkII 002s in power steering mode... just as soon as I learn what is power steering mode.

 

A few counties over there is a pair of $1,000 SDA SRS 2s for sale and in the same area some one is selling a $1,600 pair of Silver 7s. 

 

I've done stupider things with $2600 but boy oh boy those Silver 7s are no eye candy to me. Too bad they weren't made in polished aluminum housings to at least better live up to their name. If visual appeal is of high importance it would be hard to beat a pair of TFM 45s.

Aren't the Amazings strictly B.O.S. (Bachelors Only Speakers)?

 

I heard it was easier to pull off a threesome with your wife and her sister than it is for a married man to bring home (and keep) a pair of Amazings.
