I listen to this system in the two-channel stereo mode the same amount as a home theatre for movies and sports. Sound is very detailed, Mac components tend to soften the B&W mid and highs, a good thing. Sub is only apparent during movie effects, which I like. Turntable and reel-to reel provide warm, analog sound in contrast to CD sources, but both have their appeal. Thanks to the volatility of the audio community mentality, I've been able to secure about half of this stuff used but mint. I usually hold onto things until they break, so I think I'll be set for a while to come.
The Canton's are the speakers for my solid side of my system, my Mac 252 drives them, I play my theatre stereo, I really don't feel I need more than the two channels, and I don't need any subs. Keep up the great sounding stuff.
