Home sweet home.

Quick and dirty setup after a LONG day of driving and lifting. Time to enjoy a scotch and relax.

6 hours last night and 10 hours today, these Alexia's are amazing.

Did some minor alignment adjustments based on my ad hoc room, definitely sounds better.

Being powered by a 12 year old amplifier, $5 rca cable and basic power cable. Still sounds great.

Real pretty -- Nick. Glad too that the travel to/from & packing of the Shashas' and delivery to include pickup of the Alexia's' went smoothly & uneventful.

What's the latest word concerning 'certificate of occupancy' on your new room mate?

Congrats Sir,

Bob
