    Default They're here! They're here! My slate cabs have arrived!!

    I am SO excited right now that I'm slightly worried I may wee myself like an over eager puppy. Honestly, I think the last time I was this worked up was when I was a child and I got my first proper bike!!

    They are utterly, wonderfully, beautiful, amazing!! And if 'deadness' is a key part of a good box, these must be pretty much perfect. Trying to get any find of sound or echo out of them is pointless, you may as well do the knuckle-rap test on one of the uprights at Stone Henge.

    Unfortunately due to gravity being a bit of a git, they are still VERY firmly trapped in the back of my car (which seems none too happy about the whole thing) and will remain so until Susy's brother turns up in about an hour.....

    Updates, pics etc to follow asap folks.
