Description

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.
