RP, the Algonquins certainly blend in well with your deck.

Don't know what you meant by "compromise" , but positioning them vertically allows for a bit better horizontal dispersion and therefore a little better acoustic blend as well.

If I had some Spiced Rum on hand, I'd drink a toast to your installation of the Algonquins. (Pronunciation guide: Al-gone-kwin) A native Indian tribe in Northern Ontario, where Axiom is located. A huge provincial wilderness park--Algonquin Park (no roads, thousands of lakes) borders the Axiom property.

Cheers,
Alan

That does look like a very nice setup.

While we're talking about long words starting with "A", would you call that an Adirondack chair ? Up here we usually call them Muskoka chairs, from the Muskoka region which includes Axiom along with a lot of lakes.

Now, in the "things I should probably keep to myself" department... is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that if you cross "Adirondack" with "Colquhoun" you more-or-less get "Algonquin" ?

Funny, but I think a cross of the two words would come out more like "Alquholack".
