A Mysterious Package (Not 56kbps friendly)

[sschell]

So, I arrive home today and there is a box on my doorstep. It has been awfully warm today, so I bring it inside.

It's quite a large box and no light weight, either. I decide to cut it open and look inside.

Strange, a box inside a box, with quite a few packing peanuts holding it in place. Let's look a little closer...

Stax, as in electrostatics? That's odd.

A 007t? Someone is messing with me.

Omega IIs? This is not happening: where are the hidden cameras?

A stack of Stax.

The flight case (plastic, but I won't complain).

Very nice.

The soft, velvety center. Awesome.

I seriously did not expect the amp to be this big. It's a hefty sucker.

A very happy boy.

Congratulations.
Good thing it was a warm day, otherwise you would've left it on your doorstep?

Looking good.

I guess I'm not alone in starting some sort of "box fetish"?
Seriously, I nearly drool when I see just a picture of a sealed cardboard box with a shipping label on it, even if it's not for me or contains something completely mundane.

Box = good = happiness!

Congrats! Unfortunately they won't help with the heat any... but oh will they sound nice.

I prefer wooden crates personally.

What is the mystery or the surprise? Your captions and title make out as if somebody just randomly sent you a pair of STAX cans and an amp. No big deal, I just don't get it.

If you get it it's a big deal.

The heat was just a motivator to get it inside faster.

Boxes are nice, but big boxes are nicer.

That was my futile attempt at building tension.

Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your package.

I'm not 13, but thanks anyways.

Now I know why MY Stax packages never arrived. O.K. - give them up.

 

[RockCity]

I wasn't aware they still sell MkI. Where did you get yours from?
