Living Room System. Does 2-Channel listening and also Front L+R in channels the 4.1 home theatre. Found there is no need for a dedicated center so I removed the Kef RC2, but have a B&W 700 series center if I need it
Some compromises with furniture and no treatments possible - have to keep the wife happy.
Sound is so lovely and pure - there seems to be just a clarity and ease across the frequency range vs my other system which is a two way.
This replaces Kef R11s and a Parasound JC5.
I’m very happy with this upgrade.
Update 11/2/2024 - Added a new Terminator 15th (same as the old T+12th) in brushed aluminum. It now lives on top of the Boulder 866 resting on the isoacoustic orea indigos. I felt like the Dac in the boulder was maybe not in the same class and I love my Holo May. But moving the black may to the living room wouldn’t meet WAF so compromised? with the Terminator. Had the Terminator a few days and it’s already giving me what I was hoping for - that smooth and detailed sound, but has some slight warmth and more holographic sound with great bass - the boulder Dac really is very good but this is a clear step up as it should be for the price. I’m feeding it from a Holo Red streamer using HQPlayer via Roon. I’m able to upsample to 1024 DSD with EC7 shapers - huge difference and sounds beautiful.
Ahhh - I didn't realize that the steamer was part of the package. I'm currently in my "Maximus" phase - I have many components, much vinyl just a lot of everything. I look at your system, and take a deep breath - some day, I will have a "Minimus" system, and I hope it looks and sounds as good as yours likely does.
