Enjoying a cool Sunday afternoon with our wanna-be-outdoor cat, Teddy! (We don't let him actually touch the ground except warm days in Winter ...)

And what do I see from that chair? Its a nice view towards the house, even more pleasant with all the azaleas in full bloom, the sound of the waterfalls (just below the gargoyle) for our pond, the Japanese Maple ... just a very soothing Sunday afternoon.

Our JBL Control Monitors in their new home on top of the media shelves!

I built the crossovers last week and they sounded great. Satruday was a rainy day so I opened the cabinets up by pulling the3 15 woofer. Once open I mounted the crossover to the inside of the cabinet, wired the 3 drivers to the network using thick copper zipcord, then after a few tests, Emma and I cleared the tops of the shelves and lifted these 100+ lb monsters onto the shelves.

We lost a bit of Bass, compared to their previous position on the floor in front of the shelves, but they do sound nice and we have our floor back again!!!

The Everlasting Voices / The Hardest Part
Cellophane
Sunflower

Its a great show, Casey is very talented and has an amazing voice - if he comes to your town, by all means, go see the show!
