Rudimentary

Description

Rudimentary system. Sure I'd like better, but funds say no. I have the option of 2 pairs of speakers for use in front of the window or in the corner for summer viewing through the window.

I've include general room photo, so you can see our townhome's living space, which opens behind to the dining area, then kitchen and entry behind dining area, so one big lively area.

Thanks so much Milpai, Baylinor, and Shakira. We are enjoying a simple system with simpler retirement needs.

I sold the Marantz cc4001 cd player, so I'll be using the bluray player for cds. Now no more equipment stacking.

Thanks Doug for your observation and insight.

Your system looks to me like it was setup with care.
The location and size of your speakers looks perfect for the room.
I bet it sounds excellent.

Thank you Doyle and Mnappi. I borrowed some DSD SACDs from a friend and  it sounded really good.

Cool room and set up. Like the B&W effect. Looks like it's a sweet sounding set up.

A very inviting room. I bet the sound is great and it's a place you want to spend time in. That's what its all about, imo.

Thank you for you encouraging words Stereosanctity. The turntable dust cover is the stock dust cover for the 203.

mjcmt

I personally think this is already a grand system and I’d be happy with any of those components. 

Where did you get your TT dust cover?  I’ve been looking for something similar.
