That is FABULOUS! I'd almost bet it didn't come from the factory that perfect.
Excellent work, Mr. Taylor!

I find this simply amazing how many of these have the stupidity of the speakers robbed!! I stumbled across a pair of Jensons with the McMurdo lable on them robbed of course with rips, tears and various battle scars for the so called modest (huge sarcasm here with a look of disgust on my face) price of $15,900.00 OBO or in my worthless Canuckastan "beaver pelts" $20,999.00. My my my if they were left in the cabinet and the McMurdo wasn't defiled I could see the whole Masterpiece being worth that not being reduced to expensive junk.

PS
Sorry I forgot as my anger subsided
Fred a beautiful job on a masterpiece is a total understatement!! Hopefully the Jenson is still in there.

By the terminology of reduced to expensive junk I meant the speakers that were robbed were reduced to expensive junk!! No matter how little or how much of the McMurdo is left is NEVER expensive junk.
