I'm really sorry to hear that. While Ottawa isn't that close to Toronto, it is about 5 hours drive, depending on when you go and how fast you drive. My eldest daughter lives in Toronto, and I am due for a visit, but it won't be the last two weeks of August. My parents will be visiting then. That will be crazy busy, and exhausting.
Listening to the bose with the amt 1am's, and really liking what I hear. These are really nice speakers! The 901s will be going into a different room than where they are right now. That will probably happen as it gets colder. I have to decide what I use in the 2 sets of speaker outputs on the 1801. I am leaning towards using the 901s on the remote, and the amts on the main. Which means my outdoor speakers will need to be wired to my living room Kenwood Supreme 500.
Take care,
and try to get out to see your Uncle.
