But now that both of my stereo amps got fried (on the same day!), I've assembled myself an audio system out of two cans of Pringles chips — which you can turn into Bluetooth speakers by attaching… well, a speaker to them — which act as tweeters and a bass combo amp acting as a subwoofer and all of this shite in ensemble is responsible for mids… I have to admit with a bit of tuning it started sounding more or less bearable, yet… it's still quite disgusting 😖
Using a dedicated large diameter speaker just for the low end is a bit novel to me: I've never owned these "surround" thingies, always preferring a decent stereo system instead. Except for when my audio equipment broke down and a colleague lend me some of his with a dedicated subwoofer — that that was long time ago and I didn't use it for long.
BTW, this is Cruzan, like the rum. He’s my youngest son’s cat. I just spent the morning re-hanging the curtains in my family room due to an unfortunate Cruzan mishap.
He remains a very good boy though.
