I’m changing some things around here at home — moved the iMac into the bedroom so I can more comfortably watch internet movies on it; stuff like that. I find that Apple, Hulu and Netflix streaming videos are about equal to DVD quality. And I have the Bose Companion 3 for audio, so music and movies on the computer sound very, very good.
Until now, for several years, I had a receiver in this room with Marantz speakers. The speakers sound wonderful, but they were always a little in the way — they’re the kind of floor speakers we all had decades ago, about two-feet high.
They should go.
But I’ve had them for 34 years! They’re like family heirlooms. Giving them to charity is too cold — like giving an old pet to charity. I need to find a good home for them.
Ken, before you get rid of them, consider hanging them from the top of the wall. I did this years ago and can still enjoy the warm sound of the old speakers without having them underfoot. (You have to install hooks drilled into a stud, and attach heavy wire to the speakers.)
I don’t want them, you can have them, they’re too big for me.
Hahahahaha. God, I used to polka aaall around my Grandma’s kitchen with her to that song. Her feet under mine. 😀
The “Too Fat Polka.”
I don’t want her
You can have her
She’s too fat for me.
First sung by Arthur Godfrey, 1947.
