    Weekend Goodies - Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble

    I picked up a couple pair of Ensembles yesterday - two originals with twin woofers and two series II's with combined woofers. All the satellites need foam, and I think I've found the ones I need. I don't want kits for $25 per pair for all these; I've got bottles of glue from previous refoams...

    Since the walnut cadenza was ruined by Hurricane Jeanne last year, I purchased the Haropa 13SVG steel and glass AV rack (I can't afford real wood dammit). The only new component is the Cambridge Audio azur 640C 24/192 CD player (to replace the failing AMC CD8b). Still enjoying an occassional...
