"It sits higher than that, just under the collarbone. There's room for a full-sized pair of subwoofers underneath it."

Seems like I did try that and it was just weird. I may have to revisit it, though, just on general principle.

I believe that, in general, my neck issues have more to do with my day job than my fiddling - sitting at a desk typing all day, scrunching up my shoulders on the telephone, etc. - and other activities just seem to aggravate it. I did go to physical therapy and they told me I had an irritated nerve. So I'm just trying to cover all the bases of keeping it UN-irritated. ;-)

I really need a phone headset at work. I think that would help a LOT.
