This is my first real 2 channel system. I have worked for about a year and a half setting it up. I have taken advise and ideas from many people on Audiogon, as well as my extremely knowledgable dad. We have worked together to make this sound extremely well for the amount of money I have in it. My favorite part of the system is the use of my Ibook as a music server. I have a 160gb hard drive with all my music saved in Apple Lossless Format, which I stream digitally to an Airport Express, and convert with a Mucical Fidelity X-DAC. The sound is as close to cd quality I have heard and the convience factor is unmatched. The sound is very dynamic, very open and quite clean. The Wharfedales image beautifully and the Krell makes them just enjoyable to listen to. I think I am pretty much done for right now, but I welcome all comments and suggestions.
Bought this off Ebay, the previous owner did a ton of upgrades, the specs are more like the sep-1se. The combination of this and the Krell is better than I expected
Krell KSA-200
Thanks to a very generous neighbor, this has become the back bone to my system. Never realized how good and amp can sound
Wharfedale MFM-5
A high school graduation present to myself. AB'd these with the B&W CDM9's and they sound almost as good.
AudioQuest Ruby
Great Cables. Made a huge diffrence
Apple 20 gig Ipod
This one piece has changed the way I listen to music more than anything else. I would absolutely never trade this for anything.
Apple Airport Express
Stream music digitally to the Musical Fidelity X-DAC. The most recent addition to my system
Cjr888 You fund the 60 inch plasma, and I will definelty replace the poster :). The room is about 12 and a half feet deep by 16 feet long and the stand is 8 feet long.
As for the FM tuner, I really do not need it because I can steam internet radio from iTunes anyway (not to mention the radio stations in Tucson are pretty poor). The Krell does amazing with the wharfedales. I used to have them hooked up to a carver m-500, and they sounded good, but with the krell, they are like completely new speakers. They are very detailed very open, and have great bottom end. The wharefedales can handle anything the krell throws at them.
