Description

I enjoy this for casual listening. Especially rainy days or cold nights. The Duettes started out on shelves on either side of the fireplace. They actually sound great close to walls. But, the height bothered me so, put them on stands at other end of the room. When I listen I just pull the chair out and face them.

The fireplace is my first attempt at doing stonework. It is real stacked stone, not some veneer. Total stone weight is almost 3000lbs and I built it while undergoing chemotherapy. Probably will fall with the first earthquake.

I don't have spell check. I woke up this morning and It immediately dawned on me how I spelled that. (an eight hour delayed reaction) I then made the correction without reading the rest of the thread, first. Too much wine doesn't seem to impair my spelling, only my thinking....
