The funny and extremely scaring thing is that I got back home, sat on the couch to do some work on the laptop oblivious to the rest of the world, and I did not notice anything in the living room. When she got back an hour later, she said "Don't you notice anything different?". Had a look around and could not believe it. Especially because the nearest speaker was 1m away from me at the side of the couch...
Congratulations! What a wonderful gift. Your comments about not noticing the ew speakers reminded me of a similar experience. Many years ago, whenever my wife and I visited our favorite B and O store, we would go into their theater room and listen to the Beolab 1s they had set up. We were amazed and very much wanted the 1s but they were too expensive. One day we walked in to the store and the 1s had been moved out to the main showroom with a large discount as demos. My wife really liked and wanted the speakers.
Shortly after visiting the store, and without telling my wife, I phoned the store and purchased the Beolab 1s. The dealer delivered and set up the speakers soon after.
Our best friends wanted to be present when my wife was surprised with the new speakers so they came over and we waited for my wife to come home. When she came home, she stopped and saw us and asked why our friends were there. What she did not notice is that where she stopped at the top of some steps, she was looking at the back of a decorative post on top of a half wall as well as the back of the Beolab 1, which was less than two feet in front of her. As she looked around the Beolab 1, and asked why we were laughing and why the friends were there, we pointed out the Beolab 1 between her and us.
Perhaps that is part of why we like B and O. They are so beautiful and blend in with decor so well, things such as this occur.
Enjoy your new speakers. I wish I had a pair of 18s.
