Thank you!  Yes, I really love this system.  I found the ceiling material initially based on looks, but it turned out to be an acoustic material, with the wood veneer attached to a thick black felt background.  So the overall sound is very warm, very much a jazz club vibe.  Really stunning, and very gratifying.  Took me 2+ years to put this system together.  (And yes, the Leben gear is gorgeous, isn’t it?)

nope, still love their sound.  they’ve been paired with an Audio Refinement Complete integrated (the old YBA budget line).  I use a Raspberry Pi streamer, with an iFi Zen DAC Signature v2 in that system.  In the next few days though, the Quads will be replaced by an old pair of JMLabs Cobalt 816s, and the Quads will move to my wife’s office, driven by a Sonos amp for the time being.  Regardless, they’ll remain in use.

btw, am a huge fan of ProAcs - I’ve often seen them paired with Leben amps - and I’ve heard great things about Backert Labs (and btw, I still have a pair of Quad 11Ls in my bedroom system!).

Interesting.  I’m considering a Swissonnor SUT with HM-7s.  And btw, I love your system - a lot of really cool pieces.  Definitely not cookie cutter.  

Thanks!  And yes, I really love the SPU on the TD124 in that system.  I was a little surprised how good the combo sounded relative to my big rig, where I have a Koetsu on a Reed tonearm (thus more $ invested).  They’re a lot closer than I expected.  The one component I need to upgrade in the big rig is the SUT - I notice you have 3!  Could you describe your experience with them?

Thanks!  And yes, I can see who he is (and isn’t).  Pathetic, but no worries.  The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in some at times.

lol!  says who?

Thanks! lots of jazz selections in the collection. My preference is single malt scotch, but I always have some cold ones in the fridge for guests as well…

Thanks!  I see you’ve got some 19s - very cool!  

Thanks.  Yes, my wife and I had a lot of fun decorating the room around the system!  Note how we chose the color of the Altec horns to complement the green around the Leben amp (and then the green theme gets picked up in several of our paintings as well).
