R_f_sayles, yep! The audio system is for the dry spells. Right now we are in the height of the classical music live performance season: orchestra concerts on Saturdays and Curtis Institute of Music recitals on weeknights whenever the students and my schedule coincide! For us, it just doesn't get any better that sitting in a wonderful chamber music venue 15' from world class performers; or sitting in the concert hall in 1st Tier Box seats at the same height as the recording mikes with 105 (+/-) of the best orchestral players in the world arrayed in front of you.
