Actually i was having fun with some home depot plumbing terminations and out came these "milk churns". my wife thinks they look like .45 rounds. i swear the music got a little sweeter after they went in. either way i like how odd they are, so they stay. addition of a parametric equalizer taming about 5 room nodes didnt hurt either

I have noticed you are changing out a bunch of your equipment. I will be looking forward to some new pics and how the monos compare to your old amp. Wade

I see the vr4jr's are not spiked. Do you have them filled with shot? How do you like your Odyssey with your new speakers? I am looking for a new amp for my vr4jr's and have heard good things about the Odyssey.
