I wonder if my architect could design a home around it for me.
Jives, please get the Bentley ready I have some business to attend to.

Nah... I don't know if I'll go for one.

Probably doesn't even have a phone input.

You would think for that price they would throw in lacquer?

Hmm, my Quads have a piano finish. I think I'll stick to them.

They have class.

Not a bad idea MR, buy the Steinway and you may have to live in them and I don't think they make good shelter. Would be interesting to hear though.

Steinway audio or Ritz Tiger style ?

Either would end my marriage.

Even if I had the money. Anyhow I'm grateful for my lot.

You'd think Woods would have been. Stupid sod!

Now, how 'bout this.....?
Not audio, but a wild ride anyway.
