Thanks for the kind words guys!  :thumb:
Especially Rich, for that nice kick in the balls with the emphasis on the "40".  :-P
But to answer your question, the wife is two years old than me.

Ken, no worries man. I'll let you know what I think of them. That is, if I ever get them installed.  :roll:

Bob, thank you too for the kick to the nads......"60"...No Sir, I'm not even close to that. You must have gotten that number stuck in your head from the impression you got from looking in the mirror.  :rofl:

I've heard the Sterlings vs the Silvers and I'm sure you'll appreciate the improvement in detail.

Good deal, that's great to hear. I'm still dialing in the Behringer, but it's sounding very nice so far. To the best of my knowledge, I'm one of two people in the world that had the Sterling mid and Radian tweeter running active, so there's not much "tech support". The fella that helped design the passive unit has offered to help me dial things in*.
But yea, I'm excited, they're sounding pretty neat.

Bill, thank you. Yes, you're very correct about the kid at heart thing. That's what helps me to keep my sanity.  :lol:
Tina and I are just a few months away from our 20th anniversary. She is a very good woman (ie: tolerant of my antics). I'm a very lucky S.O.B. in so many ways.

Back in a previous life I used to build custom show cars with a friend of mine (and you thought high end audio could suck down money?) and we had a bumper sticker that was part of out displays that described our life philosophy. It read:

It's never too late to have a happy childhood

Words to live by.   :thumb:
