Hello All,
I posted early in this thread and since I live in the Portland area mentioned I would give feedback on their location, ordering process, physical plant, etc.. I wanted to give a quick update. I am not a sound expert ($20 earbuds have always suited me fine) and will not be able to give quality sound feedback, I've had contact with Vitale and Roman via phone and in person. Their physical plant is located in NE Portland and is meager. It is clean and organized, but I now see at least a portion of why their prices are so reasonable. I dropped off my impressions 2 weeks ago and met Roman. He was very helpful; and suggested that I meet with Vitale to discuss color, graphics, and the like. I met Vitale last Wednesday and completed the order. He was very patient with a self admitted Newbie and walked me through the order. He was extremely informative about the whole process. It was very interesting. I decided on the quad in transparent orange with a red/orange metal flake faceplate. I purchased the exact metal flake I wanted from an automotive paint supply store ($12). That turned out to be a good idea because he has only a couple metal flakes to choose from. Probably something you'd want to do if you want metal flake. It should take 10-15 working days to complete the order. When they are done, I will pick them up and make sure they fit well. I guess the bottom line at this point is that they are a reputable business and they seem to know what they're doing. To be continued.
