The Condor Acoustic Design SC-3's have officially displaced the Renaissance 90's. The Condors are far less picky with amps, and they have a much more pleasant sound, without losing any definition, resolution, timbre or depth.
I finally found the Marantz Music Link equipment that I had been lusting after - SC-22 preamp and MA-24 class A monoblocks. The sound of this combination easily bests the sound of the Classe CA-2200 and Bel Canto DAC3 that I had been using previously.
System updated and upgraded with no regrets and with money in my pocket :-)
Straight-line active preamp. Source selection with dual preouts, and nothing more.
Marantz MA-24
30 watts/channel of Class A bliss.
Condor Acoustic Design SC-3
This is an extremely rare pair of speakers that were made by a small company in Georgia that went out of business after a short time. When I pulled them apart to refinish and restore them I discovered why - they are exquisitely crafted and overbuilt.
Logitech Squeezebox 3
Very nice sounding digital music piece.
NHT A1
250 watt subwoofer amplifier. I have a pair of these driving my NHT W1 subwoofers.
NHT X1
Subwoofer crossover.
N H T W1
A pair of NHT W1 subwoofers, two A1 amplifiers and the X1 crossover, for a total of FOUR 12" drivers. Very nice.
