Infinity 2000A Hybrid Electrostatics

I actually have 2 pairs of L212s (one pair walnut, one pair teak) - the eventual plan is to unbolt them from the feet, and stack them sideways on the feet - a wall of sound.
But after a 100 ft tree came crashing down during a microburst June 27th. On the way down it knocked down another tree, and bumped a 3rd that was overhanging the neighbors yard
and we paid to have it cut down too! The tree guys came and cut up the downed 100 year old tree, but we're still waiting for the tree guys to come back and grind down the rootball!
Emma (by the rootball) is sad about losing 3 trees in all of this.
And I've been caught up with yard work, replanting gardens (ripping out ivy and other invasive weeds so I could plant azaleas and hydrangeas), sorting out our ancient brick pathways and patio,
tossing lots of cedar mulch around, repairing a crushed stretch of chain link fence, and other projects in this heat wave. Too darned humid and hot!
So I got no energy to do anything afterwards but head to the showers, flop in a chair, and listen as is ...
Maybe I'll double-stack them later in the month!

I've wanted a L212 with dual subwoofers, L220 and then 250ti. Very cool looking speaks, those be.

As to what Heather said about streamers,

Oh, I see. That would be cool too, especially when it comes to trying to find "new" music. Also suggests that they're not exactly playing .flac or .wav files either, yet still sounds good. I get sneered at for using my iPod, but it's starting to sound like it is at least on par. When I play through the docking station it sounds damn good. I know I'm still (unfortunately) using it's built in DAC, but it's all I can find at the moment. The stuff I consider audiophilic all still sounds better than any record I've played or even in the rare instances where I can compare record against digital for a given track or album. Which is all to say I wonder how much of an improvement I'll see should I actually find a device that does what I want it to do..

Another thing I'd like but don't think it exists, a TV which can display two inputs at once. Why isn't this a thing yet? Angela and I play video games in our down time, but most of them don't have a "couch crawl" mode where like in the old days the two of you (or more) play on the same console and TV. Many games are multiplayer, but they require each person to have their own TV and console. So Angela and I have this atrocious set up downstairs where the main TV is set up like you'd expect it to be, but then there's her smaller TV we set up off to the side along with her Xbox so we can play together while sitting side by side. Would be cool if I could just feed the signal from both of our Xboxes to one large TV and split the screen in half for each respective Xbox, as well as pipe the combined audio signal to the receiver. Why the hell isn't this already a thing???
