  I used to own Maggies and while they are awesome, they are challenging to get working right in smaller rooms like I have now, especially with HT.
Currently own Newform Research, and have no desire to upgrade.

For small rooms I went a different direction, combining Merlin TSM's and Atma-sphere M-60's. Talk about an OTL combination made in heaven! Very good stuff. 

I love Ralph's work. We sold his prototype's back in 81 in the store in St.Paul. Great amps!

  We will accept Woo 234's as collateral.

Shucks..for every offer, there's a bid...how about some Stax headphones?

Sorry, the spread is too wide....Perhaps add a Cavalli Liquid Lightning 2 to your bid?

Any more impressions from Pulse owners? The relative lack of feedback from current Pulse recipients seems (more than) a bit

unusual.....

It is kinda strange it's so quiet on the Pulse front, I'd expect gushing reports by now. Curious.
thinking about the Geek LCD-3 deal for previous backers...it's not that great. They say it's$400 off, but every site selling them is asking $1945, making the discount about$200. It's still really money, I suppose, but not enough to get me to jump in.

Maybe $400 off considering the retail price of the Pulse as well? I haven't done the math, I'm just guessing :)

I wasn't referring to the combination deal, does seem better. I meant the deal for people who already backed the Pulse, who get $399 off list price. I was just pointing out that I haven't seen them for more than $1945, which is$200 less than the list LH is using, so in the real world it is a discount of $200 rather than $400.

The bundles just got updated. We've got the LCD-2 + Pulse for $999, and the LCD-XC and LCD-3 bundles got upgraded to Pulse X + the headphones. Nice! Would be all over the LCD-2 had I not got the HE-560 bundle previously. I have to resist now...

Ok so how would this work?
Before it was the Pulse + LCD3 bundle, and since I backed the Pulse Xfi, I just need to contribute $1746 to get the LCD3 ($2145 - $399).
Now, the bundle was upgraded to the Pulse X + LCD3. The Pulse X goes for $777 on the early bird special. I haven't contribute yet, but if I still want the LCD3, I need to contribute $1368 ($2145 - $777)?
 
Or should I just wait until they upgrade the bundle to include the Pulse Xfi?

Hi All,
Just double checking, they are shipping the Pulse's via USPS?  I should have a Pulse x/f/i coming, I backed on 12/5/13 if I remember correctly.  Not sure where that puts me in the que.  I don't really expect mine to ship until after the first of the year  But my concern is that I will be out of town for several days around Christmas.  If it ships via USPS, I don't have a problem, it will be held with the rest of my mail.  If it ships via another carrier then I may be a bit worried.

I wouldn't worry about it. I backed a month before you and was told I would be in the third batch, whatever that means. No sign of anything happening soon...
