John you have such regal taste in furniture. Living in Ohio, do you have access to Amish woodworkers? There's an Amish community about 45 min from my city. They have a storefront for their woodworking, it's amazing.
When I first arrived here from Toronto, I had a scheme to drum up a deal with an Amish woodworker to make furniture for me. Then I would take it back into the city and sell it for exhorbinant prices, which wealthy Torontonians would gladly pay.
My buddy runs a firewood service every winter in Toronto and makes enough to live comfortably all year long. He basically gouges people in the city who have fireplaces, and no access to wood. They happily pay what he asks.
Anyhow, great pics and I love your listening space. Your system in enviable and really has a look of both minimal, yet fully complete. I WILL make it down to Ohio someday soon, perhaps after the thaw, next spring I can hear that system in person.
I also look forward to the grand cultural experience that is central Ohio. I am hoping you will take me to Burger King, but of course I will understand if it's booked up. Maybe just Popeyes then... -

Very nice rooms.
Now I know where to make my reservations for my next trip up to Michigan... :D -

The quilt on the bed has been in the family for generations and when you see it you will notice much of the detaill and design is in the hand stitching. It must have been made before tv and home theater back when quilting was the thing to do.
When you come to town I think we can do better than Burger King. We can go to the Short Story which specializes in french country cooking. A nice duck cassoulet sounds good. Oh and they have a nice wine selection and I have some french champagne. Your wife is welcome but not much for kids to do and plenty of things to break. I love kids but they might be bored if we go all audio geek. -

Well after wrestling the Krell and the other equipment here is how the room looks now. I even have room for the Sony cd recorder. I am so behind on vinyl to cd transfers it will be nice to have it so convenient.

JM,
What a cozy house you have. I like the warm and fuzzy look you have created. I have always like the way Midwesterners decorate their homes. My houses look cold, sleek, and ultra modern - nothing like yours does. After looking at your house, I prefer it over mine. -

Having an Irish heritage and living with clouds for many days I found the sun a little oppressive. Cool and sleek would have been comforting after all that sun. -

Well here I go again. I have a new idea for my room. I have the cherry finished maple rack and the components right below the sheer curtains. I decided I need to add some color. The panel will be in the center of the three windows.
