With their XLS 14s running $1000 less I’d probly go that direction instead, but that probably wasn’t an option when it looks like you put your order in a week before they started selling them. The S:N is the only spec I’d be concerned with. Otherwise all good/very-good and clean.
A pretty high price when compared with the other options out there, but their cheaper XLS ones are more of a crapshoot on specs and cleanliness. Could have gotten something better, could have gotten something lesser. Imagine they’d be happy to chat with you if you aren’t happy with the performance. Bummer the premium you paid and probably didn’t know to have them hand-pick higher specs for you at no extra cost.
I'd reach out to them directly to talk it out. If you're happy, great, but I think the S:N would seriously impact the resale value if you decided to sell it in the future. Vic has been pretty vocal about that return period lately.
Got your email, if ya not happy you have that 15 day return policy no questions asked and that went for our XLS program as well.Thanks for confirming my concerns, on it. Might just sell some ammo and pony up the difference for filmess. Already sent an email to them
Selective targeting at it's finest as you mentioned in another thread..Too bad that recent XLS thread got deleted You showed your hand VERY well there. My PM box blew up on that one!@Bruiser0311 . Yeap, low spec and at a very high price. For $3,495 you should and could have gotten a much better performing unit.
Vic, give it a rest. You always want to get into these wrestling/boxing matches when someone posts something you don’t like when your imagination is running wild. And it is selective targeting on your part.Selective targeting at it's finest as you mentioned in another thread..Too bad that recent XLS thread got deleted You showed your hand VERY well there.

As stated my PM box went nuclear on that one.
Yep sure is and many see that. And no I surely don't want this thread nuked like the other one that mysteriously disappeared that showed everyone the hypocrisy. One well known poster even called you out. Your other favorite Vendor also has MANY TUBES that have only met the min spec and others in the past have experienced. Where's your risk assesment and outcry?? You know all too well not all tubes can be high spec. At least we have a 15 day no questions asked return policy so where's the risk there? There is none and all our customers have a choice, just like the XLS tubes we offered you trashed. Bottom line, it's painfully obvious they're 4-5 other Vendors here and your selective targeting calls out one. So many folks see this here and pushing the "like" is your litmus tests? Ok then, carry on...
Are you sure of that? Here is some information you might want to review.TNVC sold him a tube that meets the published specs.

Yeah but the most important thing is: what kinda warranty do you have on it. Hope it aint a 10 year warranty.My dick meets or exceeds not only Omni viiiiixyz expectations , but it matches my arsenal! ♠View attachment 7445669
