Yes, you are lucky for having Fry's near. We used to have a Fry's about 45 min. away, but they closed it down. The nearest Fry's is about 4.5 hours away now.mad.gif

That sure is a lot of Fry's in your area. Only 9 states have a Fry's and you have 5 stores within about 15 miles. We only have one in Washington state about 15 miles from my place. Hope you can hook up with those speakers today.
