Well I only got to start one of these threads here on StereoNET briefy, after some lounge-room work some years ago. Then kids happened, and the system was moved temporarily to the office area. We're fortunate to have a large 7.1 x 5.5m double brick garage under the same roof line as the house, and converting this to a dedicated audio area has been on the cards for some years since.   It's taken 3 years longer than I expected to get started, but thankfully today ground was broken,
