Mine turned up yesterday evening, unfortunately I missed the silly price drop as it was the middle of the night in the UK but did get it for Ā£106. The box inside the Amazon box had been shipped via DHL from France, I hope you all get one!

I know, I know....I've had this title for quite some time now.....I see the box in my closet. I don't listen enough.
This is a 10 by the way. Spacy, trippy......Wilson surround. What the EFF more do you all want? lmao

Lamar (my cat) just sat up with a very worried look on his face.....the surround effects can be jarring.

I've only listened to Ricochet in surround sound plus watched the documentary that follows it on the disc but I feel what I've seen and heard so far is enough to land a strong 9 in the polls. The album is great, the mix is practically perfect, and the dynamic range is fantastic with plenty of headroom to find your own particular boogie volume.
However, I don't appreciate having to buy a box set containing a whole load of extras that I'll almost certainly listen to just once, if at all, in order to hear Ricochet in surround sound. But what I will say is that, if Ricochet had been released by itself, whether as an SACD, a stand-alone on blu-ray or even as 2-disc CD+DVD-A, I'd have voted 10, 10, 10 all day long.
As long as you can find this release at a price you're quite happily prepared to pay, then hearing Ricochet in surround will almost certainly be enough to make you feel glad you pulled the trigger to hear the (tangerine) dream

There's also Phaedra and Oedipus Tyrannus in 5.1. They are both great IMO... and can somehow justify the price of the box set I was also quite happy about the book included, considering I wasn't very familiar with these albums, it gave me a bit of initial insight and background...

Lucky boys!
oh dearie me.. i so need to start enjoying this set.. but i got a bad case of "boxset buyers remorse" as soon as it arrived and the reality hit of another big box i really only "want want want" the surround in above all other contents, so i just haven't been able to face even opening it yet (yes its nuts/i'm nuts.. its something we have all gone through to some degree over one or some or all of these boxes, multiple times for some, i guess.. but i will force myself to rip the shrinkwrap on this one before i call a shrink!) somebody tease me with how good the 5.1 is! i need mo' motivation!

Totally understand
Bought my copy (itās on the way) not being sure if I should order it.
I have at least a dozen multidisc sets sitting here unopened.
I now question if Iāll ever listen to them all.
And if I do itāll probably be once only.
But I treasure owning then nonetheless

The conclusion: we are hoarders? Are we really?

Arent we really just Ferengi on this forum in acquisition mode?

Some of us came late to the game: and paid dearly. Even if we don't open them, we may can sell them later for a profit.
Never thought of myself as a capitalist, but there ya go.
Staying on topic: this box set sold out in the first printing! Best to jump on it early than not get a second (although it did, amazingly).
