I sent one of the Acoustic Research AR-LST-2s home this morning. This will free up space and make it easier for me to restore the other one with my knee injury.
It looks like I'll also be sending the Dynaco A-40XLs home this Friday. I'll be sure to take a photo before I do. They will look really nice.
Here's a photo of the AT-LST-2 that went home today. It's an interesting speaker, with a woofer in the middle and midrange and tweeters on each 45 degree angled surface. I hear good things about them, but have never actually listened to a pair.
I hope your Monday is shaping up well. I will practice with Durt Cheap this afternoon.

@TheHorse Sanding and refinishing rough corners, that's not too much to fix:)

@kobesbuddy The hard part is gluing in new veneer, at the right (correct) angle, and pressing it down properly. And then yielding a smooth transition between that new veneer and another piece of veneer that contacts it at a 45 degree angle. It's nuanced work, but it is satisfying.

It's 96 degrees here and is supposed to be hotter tomorrow. You sure seem to keep busy with those speakers.

@celticeagle I notice that the kid behind the counter (he other day) at the 7/11 was literally talking to a friend on the phone as he was serving me. Can you believe that? I did not report him.

@TheHorse We're hovering around 86degrees today in Michigan. Not extremely hot but still, very warm.

@LindaOHio I had a consultation with another doctor yesterday. She said that mild resistance (the pool) is OK.

I am doing the best I can to enjoy my work at home completing surveys and sharing news stories here under a partly sunny day outside with the temperatures at 92 degrees F.
