    A pic of my Monitor Audios. I think they are some of the nicest looking speakers I’ve ever owned.

    They sound awesome. I've never heard a mini speaker this size that I really liked, but I think these sound better than my Mission 770's in every way except for bass extension, and I prefer them over my SDA CRS's, except they don't have that massive sound stage. The sound stage does extend a good bit beyond the speakers, however. :)

    Monitor Audio did an awesome job of the Radius series. With as good as these sound, I can't imagine how good the Bronze 2's I was looking at a while back sound.
    I may make a review on my YT channel, and if I do I'll post it here. :)

    He recommended them to me when I was looking at getting new speakers a while back. I was worried they would be a downgrade from what I had at the time, but if they are as good as these then they are almost certainly better.
    Once I get some stuff sold, I’m going to think about getting a pair, because other than cables I think I am done for a long time otherwise.

    Debris removers are on my street again. This time they're picking up a lot of it. They're making multiple trips too. The grappler operator is excellent and fast.

    It's finally clear across the street. Yea! But we now have 3 mice or small rats living under our house. I set out traps the past two nights but the mouse traps went off and caught nothing. So I just went to Lowes to get stronger traps and poison too. Anyway, the memory of those 2 Hurricanes are becoming a distant memory. I sure feel sorry for the people down in Florida and Georgia. Debris trucks are the least of their concerns I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of electricians that were here are down there now with their hands full!

    Some other crew was (I think) still working at the end of my street this afternoon. They pulled into my street. The other guys backed into our street. They just backed up, and it was the same crew. They sure do a pretty good job.

    1/4 mile from UNCW is a "high rent" district now. VERY HIGH!

    Wish you'd had one of these instead of traps and poison. :-)

    Pulling in tonight I saw a neighbors cat that we've been yelling at for a couple years because we feed birds stalking the flower bed these critters are coming out to feed in. I drove slowly past the cat and let it stalk those things. I sat in the car and watched it almost catch 2 of them by looking in my side mirror. Here's where the rodents go to feed. Bird seed droppings I guess.

    We had that cool black cat that belonged to our neighbor that hung out here in our driveway and yard for 2+ years. he wouldn't have stood for these things crawling around at all. Heck, Capone could catch moles! He had patience for miles! But they moved about 6 months ago. That was a sad day. The neighbors were cool too. The new ones aren't too bad though.
