Emergency system

[Jayrosc]

So my Mom, aged 89, broke her ankle a month ago and came home from the hospital last week. My dad can't handle everything so I've moved into a back bedroom to handle it. After a few days the dust has settled, so this evening I scrounged up some gear to make a little system to use for low listening and sound for netflix. It's a Yamaha rack system receiver and a pair of mid 90's polk 2 ways. I did the classic happy face EQ. I admit that I'm as happy as a clam: Helping out the folks, but can retire to my little lair and enjoy some halfway decent, near field sound.

Damn, I've seen broom closets that were bigger than this "bedroom."

I'll bet that system sounds better that what 90% of the population listens to or watches movies on...

Nice little system! Hope your Mom makes a speedy recovery.

Your parents are lucky to have a son like you to help out.

Take good care of her until she gets back on her feet.

. I admit that I'm as happy as a clam.

Or maybe happy as an EQ?

Nice setup.

Massive upgrade: The Yammy started to drop the right channel out so I went into my stash and grabbed an NAD 7400 power envelope receiver. 100 wpc and tone controls that work way better then the Yammy's EQ. Really nice sound.

You gotta do, what you gotta do.
Nice setup and hoping for a quick recovery!

You gotta do, what you gotta do.

And when I'm stuck someplace for a while, scrounging up gear is one of those things I gotta do.

Often it's a welcome distraction from the maybe unpleasant circumstances which have me there in the first place.
