The Big Green Egg that departed last week was in exchange for a beautiful dining table and a set of Bose 901 speakers, both vintage and both looking sharp. This weekend, I acquired the necessary cabling and hooked up the EQ for the speakers—they sound amazing. We’re looking forward to many delicious meals at that table while listening to the smooth sound emanating from those 901s. Thanks, Carl!
