Description

System has been updated over the years through many changes in gears. The current set up has been here since 2012 and I have been stopped changing gears since then.

Latest photos coming soon.

This system is mainly for 2 channel music listening and about 30% for Movie. I've been putting this together for about three years now. After trying a number of solid state amps, I have been parked with Lamm for the "Sometimes called hash/edgy" N802 B&W. This is just my personal opinion.

For movie, I think nothing can beat the Stewart screen.

Lastly, those Auralex room treatments really help a lot. Without room treatment, you are not getting the full benefit of your gears.

Happy listening.

Flg2001, thanks for the compliment. With B&W, for music is ok, for movie is good. I am looking around for a better pair for music. Any suggestions?
