I actually just parted with the Swans. The upgrade bug had been absolutely killing me, and bonus time was right around the corner, so I paid, in cash for once, for a new pair of VMPS 626r's with all the fillings. They are being built by Brain Cheney as we speak. The upgraded cabinets are directly ordered somehow or another from Mark of rocket fame. I actually had one of Mark's reps walk me through fixing one of the cabinets of one of the swans as UPS abasolutely destroyed one of the corners (long story) on the way to my buyer. Thanks god for insurance and lawyers! I loved the swans, so I was kind of assuming they were of similar sound. The 1000's look awfully tempting for when I move back East come early next year for my agency. I should be buying a place and can actully house two systems, two and HT. I would love to take a listen sometime, and bring the 626's with!
