Thanks. Actually paid 75 cents for that map in Lenningrad in 1989. And many years later, spent $800 to get it mounted and framed, and more than I would like to think about getting that bookcase bui...

B, cheers. We'll have to compare notes one of these days. Dave, interesting, thanks. I'd looked into similar things from the likes of Lyngdorf and others. The one conceptual nit I have to p...

Thanks. The speakers are really doing it for me, gotta admit. And the room, while comfy, is by orders of magnitude my weak link when it comes to audio. As much as I'd love some aggressive r...
