EXCELLENT SYSTEM at an EXCELLENT price !!!! I admire what you have accomplished with the amount of funds that you had. You kept your objective in mind, along with musical tastes and room dimensions. I on the other hand have gotten way out of control with my system. Maybe you can suggest some system matching for me. I have a 15 X 11 room (actually 13 X 11 listening area, as the last two feet are angled with french doors). I listen to 85% classic to current rock, the other 15% between blues, jazz, etc.
I started out with an A3c3 pre/power combo from Musical Fidelity. I then made a mistake by purchasing a pair of Dynaudio Contour 3.3 speakers cause I was able to get a very good deal on a brand new pair. Don't get me wrong.. I love the Dynaudio speakers, but they require a lot of power and don't allow biamping which wouldn't allow me to add another A3cr power amp. This forced me to trade in my A3cr MF gear and upgrade to their A308cr series of pre/power and cd. In a nutshell, I think I have a very good system, but probably to big for my room, and much more costly than I originally intended. I am thinking of selling off all of my gear and starting from scratch.
I liked the MF A3cr combo, and may start from that point again. However, you appear to be the master at this !
What do you think of Musical Fidelity, and where would you start???
Thanks a million.
p.s. any other comments from other audiogon'rs is also appreciated.
