Our Ear Stuff
Right now this page is being used primarily as a jumping-off
point for our own web surfing. As we get the time, we'll
add more information and images concerning our audio/video
systems.
Audio/video equipment saturates our home and vehicles, and
we use it extensively. We rent videos on a fairly regular
basis, and we both like to have music playing in the
background. There are hundreds of vinyl LP albums on our
shelves, and hundreds more CDs stashed in several rooms.
Keith prefers instrumental jazz, and baroque
(especially harpsichord) music, whereas Katie leans more
toward modern pop music. We both greatly enjoy 60's and 70's
pop/rock "oldies".
We currently have three "component systems" running, in
addition to several portable units and small receiver/speakers
set-ups scattered about the house. The three larger systems
are:

Our basement is slowly being finished and, when complete, will include
a large A/V room with a big-screen, DLP, HD projection TV and a full
rack of audio/theater components.
The rest of this page consists of some links that we check out
