Rtn1,

Thank you for the lead on Champaign; I will have to check it out before we move back home this summer (when I finish fellowship)

I will definitely send you an email sometime b/w now and then (likely when my family goes back home for a visit)

In addition to your stellar spread of equipment, I have been drawn to your system for the seeming openness of your photos. Before I came back to "school" for a fellowship, I had a mancave at one time; I didn't use it as much as I would have thought because I ended up wanting to spend most of my free time with my family. My hope is to one day have a system that can be somewhat open to where we all spend time together, but not lose all of the virtues of a dedicated area. That way we can all enjoy!

Sam

Rtn1,

I am in St Louis and am doing a fellowship at Wash U. I hope to again start constructing a system after graduation. Did you buy your equipment locally? When we moved here I looked for dealers, but did not notice any with BAT, Avalon, Pass, etc that you have (which are all on my list to audition before buying). I am sure your setup sounds great.
