This is a high-resolution system with emphasis on analog playback and high-quality digital upsampled playback. It is possible to approach superb analog qualities with a DSD system; there is a 2:1 price to performance ratio needed, assuming that the analog equipment is near the top of the ladder.

Listener position determined by near-field optimal acoustics. The goal for holographic sound presentation has been achieved.
I have recently upgraded my phono stage, tonearms and cartridges, preamp, and primary speakers. Now I have the option of surround sound for film, concert video, and sports while maintaining outstanding 2-channel playback at any time. The Lexicon works through the Pass XP-20 unity gain pass through input. Made the wise decision to mount plasma on the wall which greatly increased imaging space.
Nice system doc, I was wondering if you would enlighten me on your X-3. What speakers do you power with it and how do you like it? I am thinking of adding a 3 channel to power my fronts and moving my Forte model 6 to power the rears. My system is used 50/50 HT/2Channel. I have read reviews but would like an owners comment. Thanks.
