    Hell no, she's got the nursery, this is MY area.

    She's welcome to share it with me while I rock her to sleep to my LP's.....

    They are dracoskeepers RTA 11TL's.

    Long story but my dad picked em up in Chicago on Sunday as I was unable to make the drive (due to wife in labor and unable to travel much).

    They are in FRIGGIN PHENOMENAL SHAPE!

    I went ahead and used my spare set of Meniscus Audio spikes on them even though the spikes apparently aren't the best as they dont pierce the carpet.

    Havent got more than 20 mins to listen to it yet, had to leave abruptly in the middle of listening.

    The pale yellow rocking chair compliments the wood grain of the speakers.

    Enjoy your new setup and any peace and quiet while it lasts.

    If she had to travel any farther than the hospital, that's too much. Don't know where things are at, but good luck with it all man.

    Yeah, I was planning on making a 2 hr one way trip to pick em up, but thankfully my dad was up in Milwaukee area and was able to swing by and pick them up on his way back to Indy.

    Take it from a dad of a 20 month old and a one month old.....your room will not see as much action as you may think. We have not watched a movie or Netflix tv show in about 2 months. No time and when there is time, well something else will call for attention. My AV hobby has been on the back burner for a long time now.
    Congrats on the soon arrival of the new family member. I wish your wife and baby a healthy delivery.

    For those wondering my wife told me the sign was purchased from HOBBY LOBBY. My in-laws bought it for me for christmas (with help picking it out from my wife).

    Thanks! I know I wont be watching much TV but I was hoping to be able to get some low level LP listening done in the rocking chair with the baby, maybe make it help soother her to sleep....

    Maybe it will totally not work, maybe it will, every baby is different, but you cant blame a guy for trying to get em indoctrinated early :wink:...

    Her room is on the other side of mine so its not too far to have to walk which is good and bad lol....
