Description

My college stereo (yup... only 22) consisting of Project TT, Parasound pre, McIntosh tube amps and 1978 Klipsch La Scalas. The speakers on top of them are '70s Realistic PA speakers and homebrew two-ways. They're for my computer and powered by a crown amp sitting vertical left of my desk.

I also have two Elemental Design A3S-250 10" sealed subs on the way.

Just interested in what others think of my system.

Oh, and I didn't spend more than $2000 on equipment! :D

(...sorry I took this down, I'm testing to see if I can put big pretty pics up...)

Oh man I really want to hear the La Scala. I think they're gorgeous and I just want vocals to sound amazing.

hey-this is awesome-if you don't mind, I'm going to import these pictures to my computer, and show them to my students-I'm a high school teacher and I constantly try to sell the kids away from cheap MP3 and into high-quality 2 channel audio-vinyl included (I won't tell you how much I have sunk into my LP playback!). I want them to see that there are some people out there close to their age who 'get it!' Bravo, man...
PS-there will be no e-mail connection to you-I don't want them to contact you, just to learn from the images-and, as school has let out, these won't get viewed until next Fall!

mC 30's nice amps, As I understand it, Frank McIntosh actually worked in the design of those amps. I would keep the Mac's for life.
