Description

Not a bad little set-up. The bass this thing produces is pretty astounding with the speaks hanging in the corners of the garage, but fortunately, the CT-17 has tone controls so I can turn the bass down. This is a finished three car garage and I enjoy spinning vinyl and I do actually sit out there in the "sweet spot" with a cool beverage and listen to music. One nice feature is less than stellar recordings are more tolerable on this rig than my main rig.

Congratulations on your garage rig. What's better than music and cars.

By the way, your "first wife" had the best "sweet spot."

Cheers,
