Yes, it's too bad that we're all so far away from each other. It would be very nice to be able to meet other enthusiasts occasionally, hear their systems, assist with speaker placement (best with two people), and help with repair stuff.
Mais, c'est la vie ...
Thank you for sharing the fruit of your fine work. Excellent. One does not just come by such skills and expertise... I must ask, what is your profession, professional background that lends itself to such fine work...?
