It went better than I thoght, she says they are "intrusive" but not too bad. Wants to put plants right on the tops where they are ported = NOT. I wish the end caps could be beech. I think (2) actully look better than (1) with some better (spelling??) seametry. I put in some bassy jazz in, and said all the nice things i know. She knows what I am doing, probably better than me! I'll get the dishes tonight, then with the lights down, and a great movie, everything should blend right in. I showed her the 16-46s, on-line, and said, "see honey, I was thinking of asthetics on this purchase, I really was"
