Description

started off wanting a ht syst. thats why i have the mht-200, then I was leaning to crit list, thats when I added the shindo pre amp, and the 501 mono amps. so now I have the best of both worlds.

would love any feed back from people if you see any where I can upgrade or improve

    dvi78 dvd player, great for movies and music play back I couldnt find a reason to do a sep cd player, this really holds it own againts most cd only players 3times the price
    • music hall mmf 2.1
    limit edit red, very entry lvl but very well built belt drive (hand switch belt for speeds) no plastic dish, very detail stage
    • Benz Micro MC Silver
    great cartridge, gets better the more you play it. Mids are very life like, nice tight base and highs are clear. Really brought my entry lvl player and arm to life (grant you this cartridge cost as much as my whole player but like i said before really made a huge diff. so for a tot, of 700 or so I would have to spend at least double to get better sound.

Hi Ltleo,

Take a look at my system link. My speakers look the opposite as one poster noted - the photos make them look further apart than they really are but still they're 11 ft apart. Works very well with the MS Performance speakers powered by Musical Fidelity source and amp. My wife insisted on the very long cabinet, so also not too much choice about the speaker spacing! Congrats on the Esoteric addition. I can imagine it sounding a treat with your combo!

Nice looking combo, Ltleo. How do the Dali's sound with the McIntosh amplification - I've heard them separately and could imagine them being a great match.

Only improvement I could see might be room related - your main speakers seem very close together (or was this just for photo purposes). Getting more space between them would definitely help with separation as well as soundstage and imaging.

Happy listening and watching!
