Description

This is my first jump into the world of high fidelity audio, and I'm really pleased with how well this system sounds. It images great, has fantastic midrange, and it doesn't sound like it's working at all to create such great music. All suggestions are welcome, thanks.

I like your gear choices & would like to 2nd everything the 3 gentlemen ahead of me said & would like to add a few items. First, get a nicer looking & more rigid tv stand for your gear and don't spend more than a couple hundred $$$; a good chunk of the money you spent on your gear has gone into aesthetics & mechanical isolation. Second, if you do decide on a subwoofer get 2 of them for placement flexibility (you'll thank me later.) Third, get a flat-panel tv (when funds allow, obviously) because this will have the least interference with your center image if it's close to the wall - if you must have a tv in your stereo. Last, get a really great power conditioner (like a PS Audio) that you won't have to replace later when you decide you need more expensive gear; especially if you have an electrically noisy tv in your rig. You are off to a great start, btw, keep it up!
