After A couple of years watching and learning here and on AA/VA I have reached a point of Almost total satisfaction with my system. Having a small listening room has been the biggest challenge to getting great sound. After putting week's upon weeks' of tuning my room it was time to find the right speakers. More than a few speakers have done duty in here until I decided to go out on a limb in May and bought a pair of Usher RW-729 Monitors to try out and have never looked back. I retired my Beloved Magnepan 1.6QR's to the closet. Someday I will have more room to make use of them as I still love there sound but in MY room with MY system the little Usher's are just great. The TT and speakers are the only parts I have Purchased new and the rest has come from here on Agon or built as Kits. Overall this system does everything I could possibly want in this budget range. Since my last purchase in may I have looked forward to my time in the decompression room. Only now I hear the Music and not spend time listening to my stereo. I must say thanks to all of you over the last couple of years and a special Thanks to my wife for tolerating this HOBBIE and me.
