Yeah, Ahmed does top-notch work. That turned out incredibly well.

I have to say that while I don't think I want a complete stage, I could live with something like the on-wall Axioms enclosed behind a speaker-cloth-covered frame. That would give us the clean lines we're after and (I assume) quality sound.
