Description

Started to put together this system about 18 months ago and I'm very happy with it so far. I replaced an old onkyo receiver that I thought sounded quite good with the Cambridge when the onkyo packed it in. Wow the difference was like night and day, I think the Cambridge is a bit of a giant killer especially what I paid for it , very good buy. The creek is probably not the best cd player in the world but I think it

will make a half decent transport when I

get a good dac later on. I then replaced

an old set of Jamo floorstanders with the

tannoys. I just love the tannoys, I lost some of the bottom end but everything else is so much better the imaging ,soundstage the bass is so much sweeter. I then replced the interconnects with the xlo , I wasn't prepared for how much of a change they would make over audioquest king cobra. So much more detail and way more enjoyable. I added a musical fidelity tube buffer that seemed to have smeared a bit of the detail but the whole system is so much more musical. The xlo speaker cable was next the bass I got out of these cables is incredible. I'm quite happy with the whole package at the moment so I'm putting a bit of money into new music and trying to find some new artists. My room is 7 metres by 4 metres ceiling height is 2.9 metres with wooden floors and quite large windows. Any thoughts comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

Nice open space and very clean! The only thing I would try is some window treatments and maybe some large throw pillows to act as WAF "room tunes". The only reason I know is that I tried it and it made a big difference to my "lively" room. Looks great and bet it sounds even better!! Enjoy!
