After being on the audio merry-go-round the last few years I have finally put together a listening room that is simple yet extremely musically satisfying. My listening room is now in my (18X13) master bedroom since the family keeps on growing. I have carefully selected pieces that provide an incredible value, are very musical and work in tight spaces.
Compact mini-monitor that images like crazy!!! Perfect for small listening rooms like mine.
LSA Group Warp 1
One of the most efficient and clean sounding class d amps on the market.
Benchmark Dac 2 HGC
amazing dac and headphone amp for the money!
Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition
Amazing streamer for the money. Was going to opt for a Lumin U2 mini but glad I went with this unit. I don't think I am missing much with this streamer.

Used between speakers and stands to mitigate vibration.
Thanks Jax. I am really happy with this setup and other than going back to either a benchmark dac 1 or dac 2 I don't see any changes in the near future.
The icepower class d amp in incredible. It is by far the best amp I have owned. It is very detailed yet has a very smooth non-fatiguing sound as well. I really can not say enough about this amp. I originally was looking at a Belcanto unit since my space is limited but this unit uses the same class d ice module and sounds just as good imh ampo as Belcanto Ref 500 amp.
Thanks...I have been around the mini-monitor merry-go-round for quite sometime. The Danes are keepers! I was looking at x12's, focus 110 and the audience 42's. I was able to buy these brand new old stock for a good deal. They work great with my new icepower class d amp.
Thanks. Studio Tech no longer makes speaker stands unfortunately. These were a steal at their closeout price of $99 including shipping. These 4 pillar stands are very solid and extremely heavy.
I absolutely love the audience 42 speakers. I had totem mite's prior to these and the Danes frankly are a nice step up in detail and resolution. I carefully picked each piece that fits into my small space but also offers great sound at a nice value as well. The xda-1 for the money is crazy good. The benchmark is definitely a better unit and that will eventually replace the xda-1 but again for the money it is really good.
System Update...just added Wywires Juice II pc. I am using this on my Icepower 125asx2 A000B class d amp. All I have to say is...you want to get off the cable merry go round...buy Wywires!
System Update....Just changed out my digital cables to Wywires litespd. I am experiencing quite a difference. The sound has really tighened up and definitely has a bit more detail and bite! Will probably upgrade my pc to Wywires Juice II shortly. I have been reading some amazing reviews of this pc!
