Jim,
Thanks for the invite. When traveling to CA is in my future, I might just take you up on that. Listening sessions with friends is what I miss the most these days!
If you're ever Austin-bound, I'd love to reciprocate.

Jim,
Gorgeous and I'm sure it sounds sublime! If we could add a theme song to play when pulling up a system page, I'd suggest Joni's "California".

We seem to share a love for some tasty wood finishes. Great to see them so well matched. 

Regarding room treatment, I saw an old post below that you were working on that. Are window reflections an issue for you? Somebody's got to make a window treatment that diffuses during serious listening sessions and doesn't ruin your view when that's a priority. Cheers,
Spencer
