Description

This system resides in a fairly large room 22'x23'with cathedral ceilings. All wall and ceiling surfaces are covered in rough finished Pine.

This system morphed from stereo, to home theater and then back to stereo focus again. But I believe I have captured the best of both worlds. I intend to upgrade the Arcam FMJ DV-27 to DVD Audio in the next year.

The Audio Research Pre and Lexicon provide great sound and flexability within the system.

Nice setup!
a quick question though
I see you hook the N802 with a Mac...
I'm in the process of rebuiding my system from scratch..and Macs have been my favorite Amps

and I am looking at BWs (800or 802 with MC402 or 501s) for my new speakers

How do you think your match is, and/or in general between Macs and BWs
thanks
