How did they sound Bill?? Do the Aidas take longer to dial in with the rear speaker ?

The 77, which was not from my cellar, was pretty much gone. Drinkable but well on the downside. Not sure of storage conditions

The 99 was young and needs many more years.

In honor of a certain friend of mine's recent visit to Red Mountain, I decided to open my 2nd to last bottle of one of the best bottles of wine Fidelitas has produced to date - the 2005 "Eight" Columbia Valley Red Wine (my picture):



Cheers!
