Description

New room, lots of new gear and new furniture in the last year. Tried four preamps, three streamers and lots of cables. And moved into a larger room. I still have a bit to do, but I am pretty happy with it right now.

@emergingsoul Thanks for the kind words. The KEF Reference have internal jumpers that are controlled by the set of knobs between HF and LF. 

I am in the northern forest, but just shy of Canada in the epicenter of U.S. curling, Duluth, MN. Curling looks very simple on the surface, but is a surprisingly complex game as you have found.

  @jond Thanks! The thing on the floor is a curling stone, I am an avid curler. The KEF/Coda combo is an excellent match, a very sweet top end and plenty of power for the low end.

@tomaswv Thank you! The front of the speakers are 53" from the back wall. I went through several speaker cables before Acoustic Zen. The progression was Blue Jeans -> Mogami 3103 -> Kimber 8TC -> Acoustic Zen Satori -> Acoustic Zen Hologram II. I still might go back to the Satori's, I can't say why, but overall I feel as though I liked them better, we will see when I swap them back into the system. The Satori's were eye opening when I added them, they beat everything else I had tried hands down.
